"Selling wine and other alcoholic beverages is just a way to offer our customers more variety," Chabut told this news outlet in March, when he applied for the expanded license. "We often get a lot of people asking if we sell wine. We don't want to have to turn them down anymore."
Yesterday, on the brewery's Facebook page, Chabut wrote, "Now your wine loving friends have no excuse not to come to Eudora with you!"
The brewery offers three red-wine varieties — 2013 Kenwood Merlot, 2014 Estancia Cabernet and 2014 Joel Gott Republic Red — and three whites: 2014 Estancia Chardonnay, 2015 Noble Vines 152 Pinot Grigio and 2015 Terra D’Oro Moscato.
“We’ll change up the styles and brands occasionally,” Chabut told us. “We also hope to eventually offer a hard cider and a gluten-free beer, both made by other breweries. I’d also like to include a guest beer on tap at some point. The new license allows us to do that.”
The new license also allows Eudora to serve cocktails and mixed drinks that contain liquor — “but we don’t plan on doing that anytime soon,” Chabut said.
The craft brewery has offered only its own beers on tap since it opened in late 2013. Eudora also has a “brew-on-premises” station that allows customers to choose ingredients and a recipe and brew their own beers at the brewery.
Crooked Handle Brewery in Springboro added wine to its beer menu in June, and Toxic Brew Company in Dayton's Oregon District early this year added wines and craft cocktails to its own list of beers. And the Star City Brewing Company in Miamisburg started making and selling its own wines late last year.
