OHIO ON TAP
Ohio on Tap Celebrates a Decade of Small Brewery Success!
Ohio’s craft brewery count was 50-something when I started with the OCBA 10 years ago. Collaborating to create this publication was one of my first major projects to celebrate and promote our state’s small breweries. That same year, Ohio’s legislature recognized the potential of the budding craft beer industry and nurtured it by creating the A-1c manufacturing license. That new craft permit lowered costs for small breweries, allowed them to serve their own beer in on-site taprooms and let them self-distribute to bars, restaurants and retail shops. Ohio’s craft brewing industry blossomed.
2013 yielded a bumper crop of 10 breweries that are still thriving today. Millersburg Brewing Company has been pulling pints in a former grocery store in Amish country for a decade. Staas Brewing Company was the first brewery in Delaware since Prohibition and continues to turn out Belgian and English-style ales. In the Dayton region, Hairless Hare Brewery took root in a strip mall in Vandalia, then doubled their space a few years ago when they assumed the adjacent former American Legion. Toxic Brew Co. ended a five-decade beer drought in downtown Dayton when they opened in its Oregon District. Yellow Springs Brewery opened in a former cannery, creating a space celebrating art and beer. MadTree Brewing began in an industrial space in Cincinnati and would become the first Ohio craft brewery to can their suds, while Rhinegeist first inhabited one floor and then expanded to occupy all of the massive former Christian Moerlein packaging hall it calls home. In Columbus, Seventh Son Brewing converted a former garage into a brewery that would eventually develop a production facility on an adjacent vacant lot. Wolf’s Ridge started brewing in the basement of their space in downtown Columbus and now operates a production facility on the west side and a taproom in a former school. Sideswipe Brewing started in a single warehouse space and kept growing into adjacent spaces that now include its taproom and pinball arcade. Cheers to the class of 2013 and 10 years of Ohio on Tap magazine!

Some Ohio breweries are so inviting that former patrons spend eternity there. Here are six haunting tales of supernatural happenings at Ohio breweries — and we’ve only cracked the lid on a few coffins.
By Kevin J. GrayTThe Phoenix Brewing Company in Mansfield occupies the former Schroer Funeral Home and Mortuary. Carmone Macfarlane, head of creative, marketing and education, explains that eerie instances “began even before we opened with the discovery of two bones in the basement.” Though the bones were not human (and we’ll never know from what creature they came), they inspired the John Doe American wheat ale. Visitors report a number of strange phenomena, including taps on shoulders in otherwise empty rooms.
From an image resembling a deceased firefighter to equipment inexplicably malfunctioning, Hamilton’s Municipal Brew Works has seen a string of unexplained phenomena since they opened in the former Hamilton Fire Department Station 2. The company’s CFO, Dave Frey, experienced the most chilling happening. Jim Goodman, CEO and co-founder, describes Frey as “a numbers guy who doesn’t put a lot of faith into ghost stories.” That changed one evening while Frey was closing when he encountered an unsettling shadow in the back office, later believed to be a deceased firefighter coming back to report his own death.
The ghosts at Toledo-based Maumee Bay Brewing Company mess with staff. Michael Martin, brewery sales manager, tells of his encounter while closing the bar. “As I was washing the dishes, the cash register drawer kept popping open by itself, and you need to be logged into the system to open it manually. Once I finished up the dishes, I began to do my closeout on the computer when I felt this splash of water all over my back, and then a couple of glasses were knocked off the shelf and broke on the floor.” Fortunately, the playful spirits seem to be otherwise harmless.
THOUGH THE BONES WERE NOT HUMAN (AND WE’LL NEVER KNOW FROM WHAT CREATURE THEY CAME), THEY INSPIRED THE JOHN DOE AMERICAN WHEAT ALE.
“
... an unsettling shadow in the back office, later believed to be a deceased firefighter, coming back to report his own death.”Phoenix Brewing Company
Mother Stewart’s Brewing in Springfield offers a creepy triple play. The brewery, named after a haunting temperance leader, sits adjacent to the Springfield Burying Ground. This storied cemetery hosts a Boston Tea Party participant, Revolutionary War veterans and formerly enslaved people who fled the South. Undoubtedly, some of the caskets encasing the deceased were made in the space now occupied by the brewery. Kevin Loftis, co-founder, explains that the building was formerly the Springfield Metallic Casket Company, a manufacturer of metal caskets.
Spirits named Patrick, Watson and Samantha haunt Star City Brewing Company in Miamisburg. Owner Justin Kohnen explains, “Patrick hangs out behind the bar and in the hallway by our Mill Room.” Patrick takes a variety of shapes, including a middle-aged man in modern clothing. Watson, resembling Sherlock Holmes’ friend, appears in the brewhouse and Mill Room, both as a shadowy figure and “as a half body, middle-aged floating apparition in 19th century clothing and bowler hat.” He describes Samantha as having a “similar look to Samara from ‘The Ring,’ but not nearly as creepy.” Find her in a variety of spots around and outside of the brewery, or catch her giggles as she runs down the Peerless Room hallway.
Great Lakes Brewing Co. in Cleveland leans into the spooky story thirst with a Haunted History tour in the fall that, according to Marissa DeSantis, brand marketing manager, “digs deep into the stories of our historic brewpub buildings.” This past May, they began offering Halfway to Halloween tours. Eliot Ness, who is said to have dodged a bullet in the building, figures heavily in the tours. Veronica Bagley, gift shop and tours manager, notes that, “quite a few people seem to think that the bar has ‘spirits’ (no pun intended) attached to it.” Disembodied footsteps, shadowy figures and falling glasses are regular occurrences.
love the stories but not the scares?
Ohio abounds with breweries in historic locations. Cincinnati’s Northern Row Brewery & Distillery occupies the original Christian Moerlein 1895 icehouse in Over-the-Rhine and drips with antiques that complement the historic building. In the Greater Columbus area, Combustion Brewery & Taproom in Pickerington opened in a former creamery, circa 1900, and an early 20th century mechanics garage forms the original footprint for nearby Seventh Son Brewing in Columbus. Old Bridge Brewing Company in McConnelsville and Grove City Brewing Co. both operate in rehabbed historic auto dealerships. Terrestrial Brewing Co., located in Cleveland’s aptly named Battery Park, occupied part of the former Eveready Battery complex.

cooking with
CRAFT BEER
By Leslie Basalla-McCafferty By Leslie Basalla-McCaffertyTThe brewery takes gastropub fare to the next level with dishes like Canadian Cardiac Arrest (a pulled pork poutine) and emphasizes game in items like its Gator Po’ Boy and Elk Meatloaf.
Starbuck says it’s easy to add craft beer to your culinary toolbox once you’ve nailed a few techniques.
“Since becoming executive chef at Two Bandits, I have learned a lot about cooking with craft beer,” she says. “Cooking with beer isn’t anything I’d ever done in my home kitchen, so it has definitely been a fun learning experience.”
“Craft, Passion, Quality.” That’s the motto at Hicksville’s Two Bandits Brewing, and it’s a mantra that executive chef Kristina Starbuck infuses into every dish she develops.
Craft beer doesn’t just elevate flavor, she notes — it’s also great for improving texture. “If anyone wants to up their marinade game, adding craft beer is the way to go,” she says. “Not only does it enhance the flavor of whatever you’re marinating, it also breaks down the fibers, leaving you with a flavorful and ultra-tender cut of meat.
Her favorite advice: don’t be afraid to mix it up with different styles and unorthodox pairings — even what you think is a mistake might yield pleasantly surprising results.
“One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to not limit yourself to what beer you use,” she says. “And experiment — there really are no rules. I once made a batch of beer cheese unknowingly using our peach wheat, Movin’ to the Country, because a label didn’t get changed on a tap handle. I was mortified because I thought my whole batch was ruined, but I tasted it and, to my pleasant surprise, it was delicious! I ran it for service despite this accidental experimentation.”
“One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to not limit yourself to what beer you use ... and experiment — there really are no rules.”
BLACK SHADOW CREME BRÛLÉE
www.yellowspringsbrewery.com
Ingredients
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Heaping 1/3 cup dark chocolate morsels
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus a few pinches for finishing
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Black Shadow (or any milk chocolate stout) Maraschino cherries, for garnish
Special equipment
6 oven-safe ramekins, 5–6 ounce capacity
Kitchen torch
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, bring heavy cream and vanilla extract to a boil; remove from heat. Stir dark chocolate morsels into the cream and let melt. Allow mixture to cool, stirring regularly to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar. When cream has cooled completely, slowly pour it into the egg mixture, whisking together until combined. Slowly pour in stout and stir to combine.
Transfer mixture into the six ramekins, filling each about two-thirds of the way. Set ramekins in a rimmed baking sheet or baking pan. Carefully add enough water to baking pan to be approximately halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Set baking sheet in oven, taking extreme care not to slosh any water into the ramekins. Bake for 35 minutes or until the edges of the creme brûlées are set, but the centers remain slightly jiggly. Refrigerate until fully chilled. To serve, lightly sprinkle granulated sugar on top of each and caramelize using a kitchen torch. Add maraschino cherries if desired.
tapping intoculture
By David NilsenHospitality is part of family culture at Pulpo Beer Company in Willoughby. Paola Valbuena is the co-owner and head brewer at Pulpo, and the brewery shares space with two restaurants — Barroco Arepa Bar and Hola Tacos — owned and operated by Valbuena’s family.
“The foundation we started with was to brew beer that brings us back home and pairs with our food,” says Valbuena, who’s originally from Venezuela. Both restaurants and the Pulpo taproom have become gathering places for the local Latinx community.
For Marvin Abrinica and Brian Jackson, the founders of Cincinnati’s Esoteric Brewing, the desire for all people to feel welcomed was central when designing their taproom.
“Both of us knew what it was like to go to a brewery and be the only person of color,” says Abrinica. “For a lot of us who are beer lovers and persons of color, it’s a truism. It’s core to who we are to champion diversity and to bring programming to our space that will bring in persons of color and women.” Esoteric regularly hosts art exhibits, salsa nights and other events celebrating Cincinnati’s minority groups.
“It’s the coolest thing when I walk in on an evening and see a smorgasbord of people here, all different colors,” says Abrinica.
Everyone is similarly welcome at Four Paws Brewing, however many paws they have. Married founders Ann Zofchak and Kellie Rubesne are as passionate about their canine friends as they are about beer, and their new taproom at Red Wagon Farm in Columbia Station brings humans, dogs and great beer together. Their hospitality springs from the acceptance they’ve experienced in the Ohio beer scene.
“We’re both really comfortable in our own skin,” says Rubesne. “As we move through the world, talk with other brewers and meet other people in the industry, we just are who we are. We have always felt very welcomed and invited.”
At CLAG Brewing in Sandusky, Kha Bui is bringing together his love for beer with his passion for Vietnamese food and sushi. The brewery specializes in IPAs — hazy, west coast, imperial, you name it — but brews a wide variety of styles.
Bui got his start by founding the connected Small City Taphouse, where he served craft beer from around the country and the world. Visitors can now go back and forth between the brewery and the taphouse, which serve the same food. He says getting his favorite food and beer to catch on in Sandusky has been a challenge.
“This is still a small town,” he explains. “People don’t always drink a lot of craft beer, and they don’t always understand Asian food.” Fortunately, he says CLAG’s IPAs work beautifully with the house cuisines, and the town is catching on. “It’s the best, man. People love it,” says Bui with obvious enthusiasm. “You come in here on a Friday night and it’s crazy.”
Paola Valbuena | Pulpo Beer Company
How did you get into brewing? I studied chemical engineering, and in 2020, I was working for Pepsi Cola as a production supervisor. When my family found a location for the brewery, I said, “I enjoy drinking beer, so I can learn.”
What’s your favorite beer you brew? I always say my favorite is the one that’s fresh from the tanks! Every time we have a fresh beer, that’s my favorite.
Marvin Abrinica | Esoteric Brewing
If you’re going to hang out at a Cincinnati taproom besides your own, where might that be? The place that I've really loved a lot is one downtown called Northern Row Brewing. They're also in a very old building that they transformed and it's awesome to just head over there and say hello to my friends.
What are you currently drinking off your taplist? Luminati [light lager]. It’s a super easy porch-drinker.

130 YEARS OF EXPERTISE IN CANNING SCALED FOR BREWERS OF ALL SIZES
"Everything that we were looking for in a canning line, this line has... it's really reliable, it's really robust... it was really a no-brainer at the end of the day that this was the line to go with."
~ Dan MacKinnon MacKinnon Brothers Brewing
Ann Zofchak | Four Paws Brewing/ Red Wagon Brewing
What’s your favorite beer to brew?
A lot of brewers call me the Adjunct Queen because when people say to me, “Hey, could you brew with this?” I’m always like, “Sure!” I've done a strawberry Peep beer and a Rice Krispies Treat cream ale called Nice Crispy Treat.
Are your dogs involved in the brewery? All of our fermenters are named after our dogs, and we’re going to auction the right to name one of our fermenters after the winning bidder’s dog.
Kha Bui | CLAG Brewing
What’s your favorite style of beer?
I love pilsners and other lagers or a lighter IPA.
What does the name CLAG mean?
Back when I would homebrew with my friends, we would play around with brewery names. We would always joke about me being a Cocky Little Asian Guy, and when it came time to name the brewery, I shortened it to CLAG.
craft beer’s O
ROCKY ROAD TO MARKET
By Adrienne RobbinsOhio is home to 430+ independent craft breweries, producing a diverse array of beverages consumers can purchase anywhere from a local grocery store to a restaurant or tavern. But even craft beer enthusiasts don’t always understand how their favorite beverages get there.
For craft brewers, the ability to grow their small businesses relies heavily on the distribution process. Once a brewer is ready to introduce their brand to a broader audience, there are two routes available: selling directly to a retailer or signing a contract with a wholesaler who will sell and deliver the product to retailers.
Self-distribution allows Ohio craft breweries to grow their businesses organically by selling directly to retailers in their communities. But this process comes with potential obstacles and challenges, including managing complicated delivery logistics and getting a foot in the door with larger retailers who have entrenched relationships with wholesale distributors for all their beverage needs.
These challenges may lead growing breweries to enter into the three-tier system: brewers sell beer to wholesalers, who in turn sell to retailers, who then sell to consumers.
This system was designed to maintain a level playing field throughout the
Scan to contact your lawmakers and support local breweries.
industry and protect small, independent businesses that have signed a distribution agreement. Once a brewery signs with wholesaler, it relies on that partnership to reach new customers and grow its brand.
Unfortunately, the decision to sign with a wholesaler can also haunt brewers. Contracts between breweries and wholesalers are governed by Ohio’s nearly 50-year-old alcoholic beverage franchise law. Under this law, it is virtually impossible for a brewery to switch wholesalers or terminate contract, even if their business needs not being met. This gives wholesalers significant power over breweries, which can lead to unfair practices.
Often this imbalance allows wholesalers, not consumers, to pick winners in the brewing industry. Under the influence of large brewing companies, wholesalers can give preferential placement of their products on shelves and unethically exclude smaller breweries. Similarly, limited tap handles at bars, restaurants and event venues often go to the highest bidder, cutting out even the small breweries whose products they are contracted to sell.
This manipulation of the market not only hurts small breweries, but also diminishes the importance of consumer demand. Despite this sometimes-broken system, craft brewers are growing and innovating to serve loyal customers and enhance their local communities. Common sense reform and modernization of the laws governing beer distribution will ultimately benefit everyone: brewers, wholesalers, retailers and consumers. Ohio’s craft breweries should be exempted from franchise law. You can help by contacting your legislators on behalf of your local breweries at ohiocraftbeer.org/freedom.
THE CRAFT learn
BY DOUGLAS TRATTNERAt last count, Ohio clocked in with more than 430 craft breweries, which means that demand for skilled employees has never been higher. Fortunately, there are educational programs around the state that will appeal to homebrew enthusiasts on up to ambitious entrepreneurs with goals of starting a brewery.
PProgram administrators at Cincinnati State and Hocking College are reaching out to high schools, community colleges, adult learners and career changers in hopes of spreading the word about their offerings. Gone are the days when all it took was a little homebrew knowhow to succeed in this highly competitive and technical profession.
Cincinnati State offers a lean certificate program, but the school’s main focus is its two-year associate degree in Brewing Science. Program chair Caleb Ochs-Naderer says that the demand for skilled employees has not waned, despite a maturing marketplace.
“The longer that these craft breweries are around, the more professional they want to be,” Ochs-Naderer explains. “We might be getting to a point where we’re set with the number of breweries that we have, but if we can keep raising the level of quality and understanding about beer, then we can keep making better beer throughout.”
Ochs-Naderer says that many students are already working in the field when they begin the program, but if not, they will be by the second semester as part of the internship requirements.
Ohio’s brewing education programs are changing the game for aspiring brewers.“We really try and give people a solid foundation so that once they are done with this program, they are going to be able to go into the brewing industry with no problem,” he says. “The hope is that they’ll be more educated than most people.”
Hocking College in Nelsonville offers an associate degree in Fermentation Science that covers brewing, distilling and, soon, winemaking. The school recently invested in new infrastructure and equipment with the goal of providing hands-on training that will all but guarantee future employment.
“Our first graduates work at breweries around the state and are well on their way to starting their career,” says Eric Hedin, specialist with the Fermentation Science program. “There are so many jobs in the craft beverage industry — and we’re a great place to get your foot in the door with training and education on all types of alcoholic beverages.”
Those that are confident in their existing skills and ready to join the brewing industry workforce are in luck too. OCBA’s job board is regularly updated with various positions at breweries and facilities around the state. Keep up with the latest postings at ohiocraftbeer.org/jobs.

earning HER STRIPES
Gwyneth Armstrong was the first woman to enroll in the fermentation program at Hocking College, and as the recipient of Three Tigers Brewing’s Patrick Gangwer Scholarship, she did so with paid-for tuition. Armstrong recently graduated from the program in Nelsonville and took a job as a shift brewer with Wolf’s Ridge Brewing in Columbus where she lives and works.
How did you learn about Hocking College?
I was taking a year off from college to try and figure out what I really wanted to do, and a coworker suggested that I check out the program at Hocking College. I thought this would be a cool way to combine my love for science and my love for beer.
How did you settle on the two-year associate degree program?
Hocking is a very good college for those who may not want — or have the time for — a four-year program. The two-year program allows the working person to get a degree while keeping their job.
Did you find the classes interesting, challenging?
I like to say that brewing beer is a fun science experiment that you get to do every day and then share with people. I feel like you don’t need to have a heavy science background — you just need a passion for creating a craft beverage.
Congrats on landing the scholarship! How helpful will that be going forward?
In five years, I’d like to be in a head or lead brewing position. Eventually I’d like to open my own brewery, and that is expensive. So that, on top of student loans, would probably be quite stressful.
What’s it like to be a woman working in a male-dominated industry?
There are not a lot of women working in breweries. If I can be a trailblazer for women in this industry, that would be amazing. We have the numbers we just need to keep growing them.
