Cerveceria Ortega
607 Shepherd Dr, Lockland
Now on its third life as a brewery, the building that once housed Rivertown and Cincy Brewing Co. is now the home of Cerveceria Ortega.
New owners took over in March 2023, after Cincy Brewing Co. initially said they were closing for remodeling in January. Some remodeling did take place, including expansion of the bar that is right in the front of the building to wrap around the cooler, and some fresh paint.
The plan for Ortega is to focus on Mexican-style beers, particularly lagers, but that appears to be in the future as they are awaiting a brewing license. They also serve liquor and have cocktails available.
