Braxton Brewing Company

Am I the only person high on Covington right now? Ok maybe I've been saying this for a year or two but Covington still reminds me of OTR just a few years ago. The neighborhood is on the tipping point of awesome. The happenings are little low key, until this weekends opening of Braxton Brewing Co. that is. I was all worked up to hit their grand opening Friday night until I checked their FB page and noticed almost 2000 people had RSVP'd. And I thought you know what, screw that I'm betting they will still have beer left over Saturday and they did! Fantastic space and awesome branding. But I have one question, no rollup doors or windows? I wouldn't open anything these days that didn't open up in some way to the outside. But Braxton Brewing isn't about me.
Its funny that there is a segment of people convinced that a Cincy brewer has to fail now because the market is over saturated. I asked Greg Hardman this very question a year or so ago and you know what he told me? Christian Moerlien had 1% of the Cincinnati area beer market at that time. I don't think any Cincinnati craft brewer is going to do anything but print money for the foreseeable future.

Our friends over at Frameshop framed this large screen TV for Braxton.

This is a super cool idea, rent out the party area, put $$ on the self serve tap and your friends pour until the credit is used up.

I don't know much about brewing but I'd bet money Braxton is expanding capacity before the end of the summer.

I love these wood/cement/steel tables!

    1. It reminds me of the Neltner Small Batch mural in Halfcut so maybe them?
