It's named after the neighborhood of Pendleton, which is defined by three points. The intersections of Sycamore/Liberty, Reading/Liberty, and Central Parkway/Sycamore. I think it's a rather creative name, personally. Also, Sam Adams is brewed by the Boston Beer Company, headquartered in Boston. It was launched on the day of the Boston Marathon and is named after a famous Bostonian who also brewed beer. I can't think of a more Boston name.

April 23, 20196 yr Cincinnati brewery owner acquires craft distillery The owner of a growing Cincinnati brewery is adding to his portfolio of craft beverage companies through the acquisition of a Norwood craft distillery. Bob Slattery, a partner in Fifty West Brewing Co., announced Tuesday the acquisition of the Shumrick and Leys Distillery at 2810 Highland Ave. He's rebranding the spirits manufacturer to Robert James Distillery. “We plan to continue traditional distilling techniques but also look forward to exploring new technologies to improve quality and accelerate the aging processes that haven’t changed in hundreds of years," Slattery said in a news release. "As networks of smaller distilleries employ these technology updates, they can band together to disrupt big liquor in ways previously not possible."

May 10, 20196 yr Boston Beer Company and Dogfish Head Agree to Merge in $300 Million Deal Quote “We talked about how challenging the industry is getting, the indie craft definition, brands that consumers think are indie craft, active lifestyle beers, and we discovered how beautifully complementary and not competitive our portfolios were,” he said. In a press release, the two companies said the merger would “create a powerful Amercian-owned platform for craft beer and beyond.” “This combination is the right fit as both Boston Beer and Dogfish Head have a passion for brewing and innovation, we share the same values and we will learn a lot from each other as we continue to invest in the high-end beer category,” Koch said, via the press release. This seems like a really big deal that has the potential to impact Boston Beer Company's presence in Cincinnati. I would predict that in the near future, they will start brewing some Dogfish Head beers at the Sam Adams brewery in the West End. If we're lucky they might even revamp the Sam Adams Tap Room in the Film Center building to feature more Dogfish Head beers -- Dogfish Head is known for having a wide variety of interesting experimental beers that are only available in their tap rooms.
May 12, 20196 yr Braxton expanding with new facility that will embrace Kentucky's bourbon heritage Covington's Braxton Brewing Co., one of the Cincinnati region's largest craft breweries, is expanding into a third facility, one that will embrace the bourbon heritage of its native state. Braxton is opening the Braxton Barrel House in the former Fort Mitchell Remke Market building at 2501 Dixie Highway in a redevelopment by 360 Property Partners. The goal is to open by early fall. The Braxton Barrel House will have a 1,500-2,000-square-foot patio and a taproom, but the centerpiece will be a 20,000-square-foot rickhouse in the building's subterranean warehouse. That rickhouse will serve as a barrel aging facility for a unique program Braxton is introducing to the region. "We believe it's the first of its kind," Braxton CEO Jake Rouse told me. "It's a facility that blends bourbon culture with beer culture."

HighGrain Brewing Co. is hosting its grand opening May 31 in the former Silverton Town Hall at 6860 Plainfield Road. The brewery bills itself as a sustainable, eco-friendly establishment. One of its brews that will be on tap for the grand opening was created for the U.S. Green Building Council's Sustainable Suds challenge, where the brewery planted trees to offset the carbon created from cultivating and shipping the grain used in the beer to boiling the water with its gas-fired boiler.

I'm not talking about a big new brewing facility, just a small tap room that would capitalize on the success of the urban core. Think about Platform on Main Street, Sam Adam's by Findlay Market, the future BrewDog location in Pendleton, or even the Moerlein Lager House -- none of those locations are the "primary" place where beer is brewed for those brands, just an auxiliary tap room/restaurant. I think a MadTree tap room at Fountain Square, The Banks, or even NOTL would do extremely well and not take away any business from their main facility.

Anecdotally, I agree. I've been to MadTree exactly once (when going to a movie in Oakley), whereas I've been to Rhinegeist and Taft's Ale House dozens of times. I never went to MadTree when it was in its old location. I certainly don't get the impression that they hurt for business in their current location, but I expect they'd draw a different crowd with an outpost downtown.
July 24, 20195 yr I'm much more like you guys in that I went to the new Madtree the first year it first opened but haven't been back much since. But I know a bunch of people who live downtown or in OTR who go there frequently because they have friends who live in Oakley. But more importantly I don't think Madtree cares about any business they're potentially missing out on. They are making tons of money the way they're operating right now and I don't expect much to change moving forward. They are the opposite of Rhinegeist in that they only expanded out of necessity, their old taproom was way too small for how popular they are. They just wanted to start a small local brewery that blew up because they picked a great location. Whereas Rhinegeist from the beginning was about getting as big as possible as quickly as possible. Madtree could sell a lot more beer in a lot more locations then they currently are doing but they just don't seem that interested in becoming much larger. So while I think a downtown tap room would do great I don't expect it to ever happen.

July 24, 20195 yr Mad Tree is making hand over fist. They're growing even without opening an unnecessary 2nd location downtown. In 2018, they expanded into the Nashville market. They recently started a cider brand though the haven't started canning it yet. Once they start selling those ciders in cans they'll make even more money. This This 2017 article from biz courier says all you need to know: "MadTree was founded in 2013 and was the first craft beer in Ohio to can its product. The brewery recently moved into a new $18 million facility in the rehabbed former RockTenn manufacturing facility at 3301 Madison Road. The upgrade will allow MadTree to produce 50,000 barrels of beer by 2018 with room to expand to 100,000 barrels by 2020. MadTree is Cincinnati's third-largest craft brewery by barrels of beer produced with 19,700 in the first nine months of 2017, according to Courier research. It's also one of Cincinnati's fastest-growing private companies, increasing revenue 85 percent since 2014, with 2016 revenue of $8.2 million." Edited July 24, 20195 yr by cincydave8

Last I'll comment so we can get back on topic here. I didn't mean to imply they are dying. I know they are growing. They have a great business. What I meant was that you're either growing or you're dying and they are clearly growing, so I reject the idea that they'd never consider opening a taproom downtown. Fifty West is opening a taproom in Chillicothe of all places. Moerlein opened one in the airport. A taproom is easy money, especially in places with tons of foot traffic. The folks are Madtree are smart and it wouldn't surprise me if at some point down the road they see how much money they could make from a downtown presence and decide to add a taproom there, or (to bring it back to the topic) at the newly renovated NOTL.
July 24, 20195 yr The "If you're not growing, you're dying" mantra mostly applies to publicly traded companies. And not during "flight to quality" events.
July 24, 20195 yr A taproom of an established brewery in the city or even a new brewery would be a nice addition to the new Levee. Hofbrauhaus I'm sure wouldn't love that but the trade off of more foot traffic could end up being a win in the long run.
July 24, 20195 yr The new owner should have never moved Wiedemann brewery out of Newport, they could have been a great addition to the levee. I am sure the new location is great but the history of Wiedemann belongs in Newport not St. Bernard...

In 2018, they expanded into the Nashville market. I don't understand why so many people are pushing back on the idea that they could open a tap room somewhere in the urban core. Saying that a it is "unnecessary" is like saying that MadTree's expansion into the Nashville market is "unnecessary" ... they didn't need to expand, but doing so allowed them to sell more beer which is the point of their business. And again, I'm not suggesting they open a "2nd location" as big as their massive brewery in Oakley, just a lil ol' tap toom like Sam Adams opened by Findlay Market or Platform did on Main Street. It wasn't "necessary" for Moerlein to open the Lager House at Smale Park, but it's cool that people visiting our urban core can now enjoy a locally brewed beer from a local brewery right on our riverfront. We could have ended up with a chain like Rock Bottom, Gordon Biersch, or BJ's Brewhouse there instead. Anyway, as I said earlier, MadTree's ownership is not interested in opening an urban outpost so it's a moot point. It would be cool to have a Braxton brewery/restaurant at the Levee since they are very proud of their Northern Kentucky identity, but since they just invested in a massive new rooftop deck at their main brewery in Covington, and they already have an unnecessary 2nd location inside the Party Source, I don't think they are likely to open a new taproom any time soon.
July 24, 20195 yr I'm sorry you didn't like my phrasing but I just used the word unnecessary because I was getting the impression (as other posters were) that some posters were indicating that Mad Tree was struggling by not growing-via-downtown-taproom. Personally, I'd much rather see a brand new unique to the area brewery like 3 Points or a well known craft brewery that will draw in beer tourists like Brew Dog and Sam Adams as opposed to Mad Tree opening a 2nd location downtown.
August 2, 20195 yr In what shouldn't be much of a surprise, Queen City Brewery of Cincinnati in Blue Ash announced they're closing. Famously started of a kick starter, they mostly used malt extract instead of all grain. You can read their facebook post here. I was at Fretboard recently on a Saturday afternoon. They were packed and have some great beers, fun atmosphere and good bbq. Then drove over over to QCB. The place was empty, the taproom was odd to say the least and it was depressing. The beer was also bad. I'd file them under the same umbrella as Tap & Screw. Just because you make an decent home brew with a kit from Listermans doesn't mean you should open a brewery.

August 27, 20195 yr Sounds like there plans were way to ambitious. Sucks when businesses build hype and don't think far enough about how much all of it will actually cost.
August 27, 20195 yr It wasn't the cost, but a timing issue. Rebel Mettle was financed separately and already purchased and received their brewing equipment and it is going to be another year till Clyffside is ready due to delays in not getting the credits in earlier rounds. The brewery simply couldn't wait. The rehab dollars for Clyffside are mostly for the building shell and event center, I don't know exactly how much is for the brewery itself. Usually production/processing equipment is not eligible, only building rehab costs so much of it may be able to be converted. Applicants have up to 2 years to begin construction so there is still a chance to keep the credits in play. Edited August 27, 20195 yr by mcmicken
August 27, 20195 yr Thanks for the replies. They were also awarded/approved for "2 Million dollars in Federal Historic Tax Credits and other financing." (this information per a CityBeat article from June 26, 2019) https://www.citybeat.com/news/blog/21075201/cincinnati-projects-win-ohio-historic-preservation-tax-credits
August 27, 20195 yr Good, so hopefully they are still going to operate Clyffside mainly as an event center (with a taproom on the first floor, maybe collaborating with other brewers as well). Rhinegeist and the Bell Event Center currently has a lock on the OTR wedding scene, I think there's plenty of room for another space like that.
