Local 'blogger' surprised that he got arrested after drinking for 16 straight hours, being refused service, trying to get patrons to give him their drinks, then arguing with the cops about it. Newport Police are apparently the bad guys here though (thegnarlygnome.com)

"I have a dream... a dream of selflessly furthering the cause of Cincinnati brewing by drinking at every brewery in the area over the course of one day. There are those that say it can't be done, that no man has that level of dedication and courage, but as I stand here before you on Facebook, I'll prove them wrong!"

Arrested at 2a in Newport for Public Intoxication.

From what I'm reading it sounds like he was given a chance, didn't take it, they then made it clear they couldn't be bothered with this and he was making it harder than it needed to be.

All he had to do was walk away like they asked. If it's anything like with the cops I've seen they have little interest in putting someone away when they could go home and sleep it off.

You should have given up especially since you already missed Moerlein.

[–]TheGnarlyGnome -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I still made it to them all... that should count for something.

Im not doubting the achievement. Your commitment to getting the last beer was probably misguided.

222.202 Offenses of alcohol intoxication or drinking alcoholic beverages in a public place. (1) A person is guilty of alcohol intoxication when he appears in a public place manifestly under the influence of alcohol to the degree that he may endanger himself or other persons or property, or unreasonably annoy persons in his vicinity.

I enjoy how he clearly left the tail end of this statute out of the post. Also, a driver and a camera person does not automatically create a situation where you are allowed to forego personal responsibility of the law. Responsibility for one's actions is always on the self regardless of what idiot friends you try to pin things on.

Also, if you approach the front door of a place and the door is locked and it's 20 minutes before they close and start kicking people out, that's a good indicator that you probably shouldn't go around back and try to get a drink. Then, if a couple of cops hired for security start telling you that it's time to turn around and go home then if you're too drunk to understand that you should just leave you're too drunk to be in a public setting. The cops do not and should not care about some stupid plan to drive all over the city drinking tiny amounts of beer.

If you refuse to ignore common sense in favor of embarrassing yourself, probably not a good idea to argue with staff and then start bothering other people. Contrary to the story he's spinning, I'm sure other patrons weren't excited to have this drunk dumbass stumbling up to them at 2am asking to have some of their shitty Hofbrauhaus beer.

I do a lot for our local beer community…

Literally never heard of him/his blog. Would be just fine if I never heard anything ever again, too.

You hit the nail on the head with several of my criticisms.

The fact that he couldn't simply walk away is a big red flag in of itself. I'm lucky enough that I receive some forms of special treatment on occasion from a few places, but when I'm told no or that they want to close up at normal hours, I accept it. Nothing good can come from pushing the issue. Just because the guy has a blog and wants to share his massive brewery tour experience doesn't mean he should expect to be granted certain privileges or leeway.

To me, it makes no sense to hit each and every place in a single day. There's no time to really explore the places, meet people, and enjoy the experience and the different beers. If someone is really determined to hit each place in a short amount of time, then I recommend spreading it out over the weekend.

The parent mentioned Public Place. For anyone unfamiliar with this term, here is the definition:(In beta, be kind)

A place to which the general public has a right to resort; not necessarily a place devoted solely to the uses of the public, but a place which is in point of fact public rather than private, a place visited by many persons and usually accessible to the public. See Slate v. Welch, 88 Ind. 310; Gom-precht v. State, 36 Tex. Cr. R. 434, 37 S. W. 734; Russell v. Dyer, 40 N. H. 187; Roach v. Eugene, 23 Or. 376, 31 Pac. 825; Taylor v. State, 22 Ala. 15.

Hard to say without actually seeing a video of the arrest or being there personally. I get that this dude is upset that his plans were ruined, but it doesn't sound like Hofbrauhaus did anything wrong. They have a policy and they stuck to it. I am pretty cynical when it comes to the police, but I would still tend to side with the police here rather than the guy who admitted to being on the end of a 16 hour drinking marathon. Even if he wasn't shitfaced at that point, he would definitely have been exhausted and obviously upset - it wouldn't surprise me at all if he gave the police reason enough to throw him in the drunk tank overnight. Not saying that's what happened, just that it wouldn't surprise me to learn that.

I lived in NKY for two years, and frequented the levee and HBH. In my experience, the police there are pretty lenient on a lot of stuff.

I think was a classic case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

sorry you had to tell my Mom that I got arrested.

[–]TheGnarlyGnome -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (13子コメント)

Hahaha, yes, my poor mother volunteered to be the last driver of the day, she was sitting in the car waiting to take me home.

[–]db0513East Walnut Hills 19 ポイント20 ポイント  (12子コメント)

I don't even know where to start with this. Hopefully you learned a valuable lesson here but it doesn't seem like it. You picked the wrong fight and tried to impose your will on the wrong people. And you lost. Own the L, man.

[–]TheGnarlyGnome -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (11子コメント)

I think the lesson I learned is one that many other people charged with misdemeanors are faced with. If I was guilty, I'd own up to it. I was not the one imposing my will on anyone. I questioned the wrong authority and yes, lost... that doesn't make it right.

[–]NumNumLobsterNewport[S] 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

what did the people who you asked for their beer then were just chatting with say when you got arrested? from their side if im just chilling and some guy asks me for my beer then when hes told to cut that out he just keeps chatting with me i dont think id mind the cops asking for him to move along. if we were bonding i think id quickly tell the cops it was fine you werent bugging me. of they were silent you may want to consider that you were maybe annoying them and they were being nice. sounds like bar staff asked you to leave the guests alone, then the cops did the same. ive prob been in a few situations where npd could have arrested me because i was a jackass. my experience is they generally want everyone to have a good time and make it home safe.

if you are going to argue with them though, just got done trying to much drinks, and wont leave customers alone i can understand their lack of patience. it sounds like you had 3 opportunities to walk away and instead chose to be a pain at closing time when the cops would be very busy making sure everyone was leaving safely. put yourself in their shoes. they are pretty much nicely telling you they wont baby sit you to keep you from mooching drinks and bugging people, and you need to go. you refused that so they handled that the other way, which honestly they probably would haved liked to avoid too.

id suggest apologizing to the arresting officer and seeing if you can get it dismissed. npd really is a pretty lax department. more traffic related but ive just shown up at tbe police station before and asked to speak to officers that cited me for things and gotten charges reduced or dismissed.

your "fuck npd i did nothing wrong" attitude is hurting you though. it is probably why you were charged in the first place

[–]TheGnarlyGnome 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

We walked away from the couple to talk to the cops so they didn't know I was being arrested.

It's not the Charge or the money that is the issue for me, it's that the truth was stretched to prove a point... it's wrong and people need to know that these things can happen to you, even if you are in the right.

After we were asked by HBH not to share a drink with anyone, we apologized to them, helped them gather up a couple steins, and went over to chat with the couple to tell them about the whole "mission of the day" - and to apologize for almost getting them in trouble. It was then that the police came up... and yes, that was the point we should have left.

You're on paper for public intox. That's the lesson that has the very real potential for fucking your life up moving forward. You answer "yes" to "Have you ever been convicted of a crime? Please explain" on every job application you complete moving forward. You've officially established a permanent record for yourself of being a drunk asshole. It doesn't matter what your feelings are.

[–]TheGnarlyGnome 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (7子コメント)

I suppose I'll have to be good for a while and get it expunged. Then I can go back to being a drunk asshole in private.

[–]db0513East Walnut Hills 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (5子コメント)

I guess your mom's going to front you on that?

I'm not trying to be a dick, man. Your situation is what it is and you put yourself in it.

[–]TheGnarlyGnome 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Well, I'd certainly hope she does!

Just because things are what they are doesn't mean I shouldn't explain what actually happened to me - this could have been prevented by a few different people (myself included) and people should hear about it.... it shouldn't happen.

[–]sir_richard_head 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

this could have been prevented by a few different people (myself included)

Here's the thing you aren't getting through your thick skull...

This could have been prevented by one person and only one person. Any guesses who?

[–]TheGnarlyGnome -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I thought we established that we weren't going to see things the same. I can name quite a few people that could have prevented this... again... me being one of them.

Big hugs, and cheers!

Looking at the list, he went to two chains (Rock Bottom / Hofbrauhaus)...

And then he decided to go to both Moerlein locations, both Rivertown locations, and both 50 West locations.

I can almost understand the Moerlein and Rivertown ones, but why 50 West? They're literally across the street from each other, and have no distinction from each other. Dude took a list, padded it way out for no reason, and got arrested for being a jerk who tried forcing his way into a bar after last call.

TL:DR - Local beer enthusiast plans to visit lots of breweries and drink a lot of beer throughout the day for some reason. Does it, but is too late to the last one. Despite having had beer all day, has crystal clear memory of all conversations and actions after being denied entry to final establishment. Is told by police to go away. Doesn't go away. Goes to jail. Writes sob story.

They don't even offer 4oz tasters at hofbrau last time I checked. Half liter is low as they go

[–]SevenSulkySerbs 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I understand the whole point of sharing the craft brew experience, but I still see so much flawed logic throughout that story. I really don't understand how he can put blame on anyone other than himself for how things turned out.

[–]AuchdasspielCovington 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'll cut the gnome some slack. Was probably pretty happy towards the end of the evening for finishing up his marathon, accepted that HBH wasn't serving, and called it a day. Then BAM police.

He came close to crossing the line by soliciting HBH patrons for alcohol but did not. He fit the stereotype of the "drunk people roll up at a bar and demand beers after closing" but did not commit the crime. That's what matters. I'm sure Newport Police having their share of people trying to drunkenly sweet talk their way out of trouble and they just throw them in the slammer. Sounds like he got caught up in the cops' weekend routine.

This guy is a twat, and hardly respected in the Cincinnati beer scene. I've been explicitly warned about him by several people to protect my research content, because he might "borrow" it.

Just fun jail stories. I'd never even seen meth before that day.... but in 8 hours I learned a bit about it.
