“It is still our intention to expand in the Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus” markets, Wise said. No leases have been signed yet, and Columbus will likely be the first expansion target, he said.
The Oxford location will be the 19th for Scotty’s Brewhouse. There are 15 Scotty’s Brewhouse pubs in Indiana, one in Florida, and one in Illinois.

Wise remains active with the company he founded after selling Scotty's Brewhouse just last month to a subsidiary of Scottsdale, Arizona-based Due North Holdings, a sale that will accelerate growth of the brewpub chain, according to this news release on the ScottysBrewhouse.com web site.
Wise opened his first pub in 1996 at the age of 22, and launched a brewery in 2011. The Oxford location is still awaiting the necessary licenses and approvals to brew beer on-site. Plans call for the Oxford brewpub to produce a small portion of the pub’s beers, which will include beers brewed by Thr3e Wise Men’s main brewery as well as from other craft breweries around the country.
"About eight taps will be ours, and the other 22 will be guest beers," Wise told this news outlet Aug. 1.
The pub’s food menu focuses on pizza and burgers, including a signature burger that is topped by peanut butter, cheddar cheese, jalapenos and bacon. Scotty’s also offers an extensive gluten-free menu and a children’s menu.
The Oxford brewpub will offer weekend brunch, and growler refills and catering are available. Plans are in the works for a four-day Valentine’s Day weekend special meal, special offers on wings for Super Bowl parties, and a special Fat Tuesday menu, Wise said.
