BC’s Brewing Co.
4064 S US Route 42, Lebanon – coming soon
7121 Liberty Centre Dr, Liberty Twp (Bottle Lodge) – coming soon
BC’s Bottle Lodge has long been a staple of the Cincinnati craft beer scene, as they have a pair of bottle shops and have been around for about a decade. But now they will join the brewing scene, opening up BC’s Brewing Co. between Mason and Lebanon in the near future.
Ryan Johnston – who has brewed at MadTree – will head up the brewing operations with co-owners Brian Brownlow and Caleb Colbert heading up the business side. The brewhouse will be a 15bbl system that was purchased from the original MadTree location. Their goal is to focus on traditional craft beer styles, meaning beers with limited adjuncts. They also expect to do a good number of collaborations to build on the relationships they’ve built with other breweries around Cincinnati and the country while operating their original business.
For the time being they are planning to keep open their bottle shop location in Liberty Center open as a satellite taproom, but they will no longer be able to sell third party packaged beer. They decided to close their original Montgomery location.
The brewery location is expected to feature a robust outdoor space. They won’t have their own food program, but Walt’s Hitching Post is reportedly opening a concept next to their taproom that they will tie in to have available to order.
