Who is your local brewery? I don’t mean which one do you hang out at most frequently – I mean… who are they. Call it branding if you want, call it their “story” – what I’m talking about is the feeling you get when you crack open a beer, walk into a taproom, or talk

A brewery that is trying to bridge the gap between Dayton and Cincinnati, fill a vacant hole in their location of Middletown, Ohio and start bringing beer people back to Butler County all the while navigating the waters of an increasingly busy craft beer market locally.

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this news… Do I consider it an expansion, a second location, an experimental space? A warehouse for aging beer? I think it’s a little bit of a it all, though – which is why I’m really thrilled to see it come to life this year. The Plans

Urban Artifact was told that their goofy idea of starting a wild and tart only brewery in Cincinnati Ohio wouldn’t work. Palates here weren’t developed enough, the niche wasn’t big enough, and I mean – how good can you actually be to compete with the breweries around the world that have been doing this sort

Our little DogBerry. I can’t believe how much you’ve grown, and you’ve managed to change so much while staying exactly the same. If you don’t know the West Chester, Ohio brewery that I’m talking about this story will just be the same old “Brewery begins canning” story. I promise you that it’s so much more,

We’ve talked before about Bad Tom Smith – actually, I love talking about them. (You can read some of the posts I’ve written about the brewery to get a better idea why). They personify the story of redemption that their namesake Bad Tom had at the end of his life. From a brewery that was

Braxton Brewing Company opened up their second location, and they did it in a way that is unheard of here in Cincinnati. They didn’t go bigger, they went smaller, purchasing the old Ei8ht Ball space located inside the party source. What sort of show would this be if we didn’t get them to sit down

They haven’t been open even a year yet, and the way they are chugging along like a well oiled machine makes you think that they’ve been doing this as long as anyone in this city. Braxton Brewing Company held their first annual ‘Builder’s Town Hall’ about a week and half ago and I thought it
