The Tri-State’s newest brewery is set to open in Sycamore Township this week.

“March First Brewing” will open the doors to it’s taproom and beer garden on Friday, April 28th at 4 p.m. Owners say they also plan to kick off dock sales on the same day.

Located at 7885 East Kemper Road, March First will be open to thirsty customers from 4 p.m. – 9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

“One of our core strategies is to develop and produce very ‘drinkable’ beers and ciders and we are really exploring a wide range of lagers and dry ciders to get started.” says Kevin Kluener, head of plant operations. “Lagers are tough to get right, they take twice as long and are more expensive to produce than ales.”

On tap at the grand opening will be a craft lager, Heller Bock, Denali India Pale Ale, Dry Hopped Cider, Dry Limed Cider and a Traditional Cider. Brewers Garrett Huber and Shae Pridemore say they hope to release a lager-based Baltic Porter, Craft Light Pilsner, Rose Cider and Mosaic Pale Ale in the next few weeks.

Huber and Pridemore are no strangers to brewing in Cincinnati, having both served on the brewery team at Valley Vineyard’s “Cellar Dwellar” brand.

“We are really excited to add a new dimension to the Cincinnati brewing community with our lineup. It is a lot of fun to be brewing in the German-lager tradition of Cincinnati” said Pridemore.

Brewery leaders say the name “March First” came from Ohio’s birthday with the operation being founded on March 1st, 2016 by local entrepreneurs Mark Stuhlreyer and Kevin Kluener
