“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.”
Yavorsky, who previously helped found Star City Brewing in Miamisburg, is looking to start a bigger manufacturing operation this time, he said. Construction is underway on the approximately 8,400-square-foot facility now at 3387 Cincinnati-Dayton Road. 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 Municipal Brew Works opening in downtown Hamilton in the city's former municipal building at 20 High St.
Also, Rivertown Brewing announced late last year 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.
The new craft breweries in the works join DogBerry Brewing in West Chester Twp., as well as the massive MillerCoors brewery outside of Trenton.
