“Route 50 spans across the heart of the country from Ocean City, Maryland to Sacramento. Our travels on this road gave us a sense of how America evolved and was built from coast to coast,” says Bobby Slattery, managing partner of Fifty West, in a release. “We had a dream that one day we could expand the Fifty West experience. This brewpub is the next step in bringing that vision to life.”

“Route 50 took us to an amazing town in Chillicothe, Ohio and we fell in love. Chillicothe is a city rich in people and history, with many parallels to our core values including access to trails, rivers, and parks. We could not be more thrilled to be a part of this revitalization,” Slattery continued in the same release.

Chillicothe is also excited for new brewpub, with Mayor Luke Feeney saying he's delighted to welcome Fifty West to the city.
