Misrule Brewing
31 W High St – Oxford, OH
Misrule Brewing opened in April 2025 inside Bello Woodfired Pizza Studio, once again giving Oxford, Ohio a brewery taproom. The home of Miami University had been without a brewery for a few years since Quarter Barrel closed their doors in 2019.
Started by three professors who wondered why Oxford didn’t have a taproom, the project began in a barn before their beer started popping up at festivals and restaurants.
Owned by Rhett Brymer, Eric Stenstrom, Brandon Ney, Michael Conger, and Dow Scoggins – the brewery gets its name from the Lord of Misrule from medieval times where the order was flipped. It was a period of temporary reversal of the social order, where masters served their servants and people were encouraged to act foolishly.
In 2025, they partnered with Bello Pizza Studio to open up a Misrule Brewing taproom.
They opened with a handful of beer styles that you don’t see everyday, and also featured some collaborations, including with The Common Beer Company, where their brewer Brandon Ney also works.
Their beers include:
- Cradle of Kolsches
- On the Shoulders of Giants (Bohemian Pilsner)
- Bellissimo (Italian Pilsner – collab with The Common)
- Foggy Notion (Steam Beer – collab with The Common)
- Chapeau Gris (Saison – collab with The Common)
- Bro Hugs (New England IPA)
- Velvet Buzz (milk stout – collab with Third Eye)
- Hive Mind (cider – collab with Northwood)
