Hazy Rajah Arrives: A Softer Side of a Familiar Beast

Admin — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 18:37:41 +0000

Don’t Let the Haze Fool You

There’s a new chapter unfolding in the Rajah story, and this one comes in a softer, juicier haze. Meet Hazy Rajah (6.5% ABV), our latest victory in the ongoing quest to tame the savage hop. This Hazy IPA bursts open with candied pineapple, tangerine, and bright citrus notes, all wrapped in a smooth, pillowy body that drinks dangerously easy. It’s bold, but it’s got manners.

So what exactly is a Hazy IPA? Think of it as the laid-back cousin of a traditional IPA. Less bite, more glow. Instead of sharp bitterness, you get juicy, fruit-forward flavors with a softer finish and that signature hazy appearance. It’s the kind of beer that doesn’t punch you in the face, it pulls you in and convinces you to stay awhile.

If White Rajah is your go-to, this is your next move. Where White Rajah delivers that crisp, classic IPA backbone, Hazy Rajah leans into the lush, tropical side of the hop spectrum. Together, they’re a perfect one-two punch, bright, balanced, and built for anyone who appreciates what hops can really do.

Hazy Rajah lands at all Brew Kettle brewpubs starting April 10th, with distribution across the Ohio market to follow. Whether you’re a longtime Rajah loyalist or just haze-curious, this one’s ready for you.

Fair warning: one sip and you might start wondering why all battles with hops can’t end this deliciously.

Vipera Italian Pilsner Release | The Brew Kettle Lager Series

Admin — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 14:13:18 +0000

Vipera Italian Pilsner Slithers Into The Brew Kettle Lager Series – March 20, 2026

On March 20, 2026, The Brew Kettle unveils the next release in our NEW Lager Series: Vipera, a beautifully balanced Italian Pilsner that celebrates one of the most exciting modern lager styles in craft beer.

We are excited to unveil our new lager series, starting with Vipera. Head brewers Jack and Lou want to show the craft beer world they are not just great at making IPAs, but make incredible lagers, too. Stop by to taste this exclusive release before it hits retail shelves in select, very select stores!

Some beers roar. Some beers whisper. And some glide in smooth, elegant, and deadly refreshing.

Crisp. Aromatic. Refined. This is lager with a little venom in its personality.

The Story Behind Italian Pilsner

The Italian Pilsner is a relatively young style in the long history of brewing. It was first crafted in 1996 by Agostino Arioli at Birrificio Italiano in the Lombardy region of northern Italy near Milan.

Arioli took the classic German pilsner foundation and added something new: dry hopping with noble European hops.

The result was a revelation.

Italian Pilsners maintain the clean, crisp drinkability of a traditional pilsner, but introduce a more expressive hop aroma that delivers herbal, floral, and slightly spicy notes without crossing into IPA territory.

Think of it as a pilsner wearing an Italian suit.
Tailored. Sophisticated. Effortlessly stylish.

Why “Vipera”?

The name Vipera comes from an ancient symbol rooted in Italian heraldry.

The biscione, often referred to as the vipera, is a mythical serpent depicted with a child in its mouth. It appears in historical coats of arms throughout northern Italy and represents power, transformation, and legend.

For our lager series, the name felt perfect.

A beer that looks calm and golden in the glass…
but delivers a surprising bite of hop aroma.

Elegant. Mysterious. Memorable.

Just like the serpent itself.

Meet Vipera: The Brew Kettle Italian Pilsner

Keeping true to Italian brewing tradition while adding our own craft touch, Vipera is brewed with a carefully selected trio of classic European hops:

Perle
Spalter Select
Saphir

These noble varieties create a layered hop profile that feels both refined and refreshing.

After fermentation, the beer is dry hopped to perfection, elevating the aroma while preserving the crisp backbone that makes pilsners so drinkable.

The result is a beer that pours brilliant gold and finishes clean enough to pull you right back in for another sip.

What to Expect in the Glass

Aroma
Floral, herbal, and lightly spicy notes from noble European hops.

Flavor
Balanced hop character layered over a smooth, clean malt base.

Finish
Bright, crisp, and refreshingly dry.

Drinkability
Dangerously easy.

This is the kind of beer that makes you look down halfway through the glass and realize it’s already gone.

Part of The Brew Kettle Lager Series

Vipera joins our growing Lager Series, where we explore traditional and modern lager styles with the same care and craftsmanship that built The Brew Kettle.

Lagers take patience.
Cold fermentation. Time. Precision.

But when done right, they deliver something magical: pure drinkability.

Vipera is proof.

Release Date

March 20, 2026

Available on draft and in cans at all Brew Kettle pubs while it lasts.

Like many great lagers, this one won’t linger long.

So come raise a glass, enjoy the aroma of noble hops, and experience the elegant bite of Vipera Italian Pilsner.

The serpent has arrived.

Chefs Specials – March 2026

Admin — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 15:00:00 +0000

March just walked in wearing beads, carrying hot sauce, and humming something suspiciously jazzy.

The Brew Kettle kitchen crew has been plotting, sautéing, smashing, and simmering their way into a lineup that feels like spring break met New Orleans and decided to stay for dinner.

Here’s what’s marching onto the table this month:

Fried Green Tomato – 14

Get ready to dive into a delicious and vibrant Krab Rangoon Salad, generously drizzled with a zippy Sweet & Spicy Chili twist that adds a perfect kick of flavor to every bite!

Shrimp Po’ Boy – 20

We took the classic and gave it a little Brew Kettle handshake.

Cajun crispy shrimp. Chipotle aioli. Lettuce. Tomato. Pickle. Toasted baguette.

It’s messy in the best way. The kind of sandwich that requires both hands and zero shame. You might lean over your plate. That’s normal. That’s respect.

Reuben Smash Burger – 20

This one didn’t come to play.

Two all-beef smash patties. Brined corned beef. Sauerkraut. Russian dressing. Rye bread holding it all together like a hero in a deli cape.

It’s part smash burger, part St. Paddy’s parade, part “why didn’t we do this sooner?”

Napkins recommended. Possibly two.

Crawfish Étouffée – 18

Now we’re talking bayou comfort.

New Orleans-style crawfish stew simmered with peppers, onions, celery, and served over white rice. It’s rich, soulful, and just spicy enough to make you feel alive.

Close your eyes and you can almost hear a brass band warming up.

Blackberry Sachet - $9

Why You Need to Get Here

March Chef Specials are where our kitchen gets to stretch, experiment, and occasionally show off a little. These dishes are here for a good time, not a long time.

So grab a pint, grab a friend, and let the table fill up.

March only comes once a year. Let’s eat accordingly.

Start with our Hush Puppies—house-made, golden brown, and ready to dive into our signature white BBQ sauce. Crisp outside, soft inside, and gone faster than you planned.

The Fried Fish Sandwich brings the heavyweight energy. Hand breaded, beer battered Atlantic cod stacked with TBK slaw, American cheese, and tartar sauce. It’s bold, it’s satisfying, and it demands two hands and a healthy appetite.

Feeling taco-minded? Our Perch Tacos feature three hand-breaded perch fillets tucked into toasted flour tortillas and topped with chipotle lime slaw, pickled onions, and Trinidad herb crema. Bright, flavorful, and built to impress.

And for the purists, the Perch Dinner delivers the classic. Hand-breaded perch served with crisp fries, TBK slaw, and tartar sauce. Simple. Hearty. Exactly what Lent should taste like.

Pink Rajah

Admin — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 17:07:27 +0000

Introducing Pink Rajah

March 8 is not just a date on the calendar. It is a rally cry with lipstick on a pint glass. It is a toast raised high enough to rattle the rafters.

This year, The Brew Kettle brewed something worthy of that moment.

Celebrate Early – February 27th

Introducing Pink Rajah

Why wait for March 8 when we can raise a glass sooner? 6.8% ABV

The ladies of TBK have tamed the savage hop and crafted this radiant IPA to celebrate the many amazing women in our industry. Staying true to the mantra of our flagship White Rajah, the malt takes a backseat while the hops step into the spotlight.

Pink Rajah bursts with a tropical melody of citrus fruits that glide across the palate, delivering a bright, confident drinking experience. It is bold. It is balanced. It shines.

And it pours with purpose.

A Toast to International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day traces back to the early 1900s, born from labor movements where women stood up for better pay, safer working conditions, and the right to vote. In 1910, a global day recognizing women’s achievements was proposed. By 1911, more than a million people across Europe were rallying in support.

Over a century later, March 8 has become a worldwide celebration of social, economic, and cultural achievements of women. It is both a celebration and a call to continue building equity across every industry, including craft beer.

Why Pink Boots Society?

A portion of Pink Rajah proceeds will benefit the Pink Boots Society, an international nonprofit organization founded in 2007 by brewer Teri Fahrendorf.

Their mission is simple and powerful: to assist, inspire, and encourage women and non-binary individuals in the fermented and alcoholic beverage industry through education and scholarship.

Pink Boots Society supports members with:

Brewing and technical education scholarships
• Industry training and certification funding
• Professional development opportunities
• A strong global network of women in beer

They have helped thousands of women sharpen their skills, advance their careers, and take leadership roles in an industry that continues to evolve.

When you order a Pink Rajah, you are not just enjoying a tropical hop symphony. You are investing in the next generation of brewers, cellar operators, sensory specialists, and beer innovators.

Join us Feb 27th and drink with purpose.

Drink Pink. Drink Proud.

Brewed by the women of TBK.

Carnival Cannonball

Admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:25:54 +0000

Carnival Cannonball

Exclusively at Brew Kettle Strongsville – This Friday

Two oak-aged barleywines collide in a glass like heavyweight prizefighters who decided to become friends at the afterparty. The result? A bourbon-kissed, oak-spiced spectacle that struts in with dark stone fruit, layers of caramel malt, toffee, molasses, and a velvet curtain of dark chocolate.

It’s massive.
It’s smooth.
It’s deceptively polite for something that hits like carnival thunder.

This is barley-aged barleywine done the Brew Kettle way. Deep. Decadent. Built for slow sipping by a crackling fire… or under the glow of the Ferris wheel while Ogrefest roars around you.

Right now, it’s Strongsville only.
If the crowd leaves even a drop, maybe it makes its way to the other pubs.

But let’s be honest. Ogrefest crowds are not known for mercy.

Come early. Savor slowly. Respect the cannon.
