Why brewery chose Middletown for new location

MIDDLETOWN —
The
owners behind a new brewery opening on Cincinnati-Dayton Road in Middletown
chose the site for several key reasons: it’s a high traffic corridor; the
location on the Middletown/Monroe city borders also has easy access to
Interstate 75 and nearby attractions such as Cincinnati Premium Outlets and
Miami Valley Gaming; and the spot is prime real estate in-between Cincinnati
and Dayton that can attract customers from either major city, Brian Yavorsky,
one of the co-owners, told this news outlet Monday http://www.journal-news.com/news/news/new-brewery-could-open-next-month-in-middletown/nqJ9x/" rel="nofollow - And
the fact that Cincinnati-based http://www.journal-news.com/news/news/rivertown-brewing-to-move-production-to-monroe/npHYr/" rel="nofollow - bodes well for both craft breweries,
Yavorsky said.
“It’s
a great area and I personally feel that the demand for craft is still high
enough there’s room for all of us to work together,” Yavorsky said. “It will be
great for beer enthusiasts to have some things within a short driving distance
together.”

The building will be ready to hand over to the brewers next month, according to
developer Paul Sivak, president of PS Properties.
“We’re
going to get access to the building in March, but we’re still working with the
equipment vendor,” Yavorsky said.
Plans
are for there to be a 20-barrel brewhouse and four, 40-barrel fermenters, he
said. In addition to beermaking, the brewery plans also call for a patio and
tap room.
In
the meantime, the owners of the proposed Unbridled Brewery are waiting on
equipment orders and equipment installation before setting an opening date.
“We
think 2016 is very likely,” he said.
Also,
he said Unbridled is a temporary working name for the project, and the business
partners are working on branding efforts to finalize a name that could change
in the future.
“We
would love to grow into a larger operation. How big, I don’t know,” he said.
“We definitely want to be well known and we want people to love our products.”
Unbridled
Brewery, as the Middletown
project is temporarily called for now, joins plans for new breweries set to
open in Hamilton and Monroe.
Renovations
are underway for http://www.journal-news.com/news/news/hamilton-considers-loan-to-fix-up-city-owned-build/npfTR/" rel="nofollow - in
the city’s former municipal building at 20 High St.
Also, http://www.journal-news.com/news/news/rivertown-brewing-to-move-production-to-monroe/npHYr/" rel="nofollow - plans
to build and open an approximately $5 million production, restaurant and bar
space in Monroe near the intersection of Ohio 63 and Salzman Road. Rivertown is
set to become fully operational in 2017. Started in 2009, Rivertown, known for
its sour beers, has outgrown its existing space in Lockland faster than
anticipated, founder and leader Jason Roeper previously told this news outlet.
