Upcoming Ohio Breweries

I was updating some Ohio brewery info today and decided to start keeping a list of all the breweries currently in development. I’m sure I’m missing a few, but here are 11 currently in the works (with their location, a note, and my best guess at opening based on available info):

Lucky Owl Brewing - Bainbridge Township/Chagrin Falls - First beer released at a bar on 4/16/15, but no phone, address, or email. Will enter when info is available.

Earlybird Brewing - Cleveland - Brewing first batch as of 5/14/15. No address, phone, email, or official launch date. Early Summer?

Fibonacci Brewing Company - Mt. Healthy - Licenses approved, first batch ready to start. Opening date TBA by early June.

Restoration Brew Worx - Delaware - Social media has been relatively quiet this spring. Summer?

Devil’s Kettle Brewing - Athens - Licenses approved. Build-out nearing completion. Opening by Ohio Brew Week (July 10-18).

Little Fish Brewing Company - Athens - Earlier in build-out process than Devil’s Kettle, but hope to have some beer available in time for Ohio Brew Week (July 10-18). Place might not be open by then, though.

Scenic Brewing Company - North Canton - Currently in build-out phase. No launch date yet. Mid-late summer?

Multiple Brewing Company - Nelsonville - Not sure if any OBW presence. Expected launch in late August.

Forest City Brewery - Cleveland - Have started to appear at events. Renovations underway. Late summer?

North River Brewing Company - Wauseon - Build-out phase. No launch date yet. Late summer?

Ferndock Brewing Company - Sandusky - Currently in Platform’s incubator program. Seem to have a good handle on the business side of things. 2016?

If I’m missing any, please add below!

Restoration Brew Worx opens to the public tomorrow, 6/3. They’ll have 5 beers upon launching.

Devil’s Kettle has its grand opening this Saturday.

Here’s another addition that I didn’t see above, The Brew Brothers - Columbus

Yep, it’s located in the Scioto Downs Racino. Haven’t been there yet, but I guess they’re up and running now.

Place also linked. It looks like they’re brewing the same beers as the Reno location so far, but they’re done on site by a different master brewer (who used to work at Barley’s). I’ll keep them separate, like Rock Bottom or Hofbrauhaus, unless told to do otherwise later.
