Sam Adams to open taproom near Findlay Market

Sam Adams is a Boston-based beer company, but it makes a lot of their beer in Cincinnati, in the old Huedepol-Schoenling Brewery on Central Parkway.

Now they're going to open a taproom, just across the street. It will be in Urban Sites’ Film Center Project at the entrance to Findlay Market.

It will be big: Nearly 9,000 square feet, and will offer a variety of beers that are brewed onsite as well as at the big brewery, including Cincinnati inspired lager 513, and Sam Adams favorites such as Boston Lager, Summer Ale and Oktoberfest. Plans are for the tasting room to open in fall of this year.

Drinkers will be able to purchase growlers and crowlers of select beers on tap. Many of the design elements that visitors will see were inspired by the rich history and brewing heritage of Cincinnati.

Jim Koch, the founder and brewer of Samuel Adams, is a Cincinnati native. He has involved the company in the revival of brewing in Cincinnati by supporting the Brewery Heritage Trail and giving hand-ups to smaller breweries through their Brewing the American Dream program.
