The former Remke grocery store along Dixie Highway in Fort Mitchell will be transformed into a barrel-aging brewery and taproom.

The Covington-based Braxton Brewing Co. announced its plans Monday for one-of-a-kind barrel-aging facility. The dedicated barrel-aging brewery and taproom is expected to open in the fall of 2019. The new Braxton site will offer patrons the opportunity to create custom private barrel picks of barrel-aged brews, according to the company.

Braxton plans to transform the former grocery store. The 2,000-square-foot loading dock, for example, will be redeveloped with large glass garage doors and an outdoor patio. The 20,000-square-foot warehouse under the main floor will house the barrel-aged beer, while a taproom for guests will sit on top.

“We’ve always been focused on creating one-of-a-kind experiences for our guests – both in the tap room and beyond,” said Jake Rouse in a statement. He is the co-founder and CEO of Braxton Brewing. "We’re looking forward to sharing the Braxton Barrel House with Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati-area beer and bourbon drinkers who love Kentucky’s culture as much as we do.

“To our knowledge, this is the nation’s first dedicated private barrel program, and we’re so proud to open the doors to our newest location."

Fort Mitchel Mayor Jude Hehman called the Braxton Barrel House and entertainment venue exiting and said that it “adds to the unique characteristics of our city.”

“We look forward to the transformation of the Remke site and welcome new businesses like Braxton that will add to the walkability and neighborhood-friendly culture we are creating,” Hehman said in a statement.

Ranging from $500 to $5,000, custom private barrel picks can yield upwards of 300 bottles of barrel aged beer.

This is not Braxton's only project. Earlier this year the company announced plans to expand its headquarters in Covington. They'll be able to brew more beer, distribute it more widely and serve beer on the roof.

Braxton will be putting $5 million into their building at 27 W. Seventh St. The increased production capacity will let them produce 30,000 barrels a year, enough to sell in Tennessee and Ohio. The rooftop deck will be 5,000 square feet.
