USA, OH: Moeller Brew Barn to open sometime this summer in Monroe

A new taproom and brewery is coming to Monroe, Cincinnati.com reported on May 30.

Moeller Brew Barn, the Maria Stein, Ohio-based brewing company, will open sometime this summer in the former Rivertown Brewery and Barrel House building, located at 6550 Hamilton Lebanon Road.

“We'll spend the next few months putting some new touches on the taproom, and we'll fire up the brewhouse and start brewing our favorites," founder Nick Moeller said in a release. "The new brewhouse and cellar will help us expand our distribution footprint as well."

The 25,875 square-foot facility will allow Moeller to expand the brand's taproom presence, the press release said. More than 24 beers will be on tap at any given time, including beers exclusive to the Monroe location, and food will also be available, such as Neapolitan-style pizzas, smoked wings and Bavarian pretzels.

Moeller Brew Barn is aiming to open the new location this summer.

Rivertown Brewery closed its doors in February, five years after moving to Monroe. According to Cincinnati Business Courier, the longtime brewing company cited the pandemic, staffing shortages and rising food prices as reasons for closing in a sign posted on its window.
