USA, OH: Crooked Handle Brewing Co. to launch production in Springboro by mid-November

Crooked Handle Brewing Co. could open as early as mid-November at 760 N. Main St. in Springboro, Dayton Daily News reported on August 11.

“Crooked Handle Brewing will have a seating capacity of 50 to 60 inside and another 16 on a patio,” said Jason Moore of Miami Twp., co-founder of Crooked Handle along with business partner Jeff Pedro Jr., also of Miami Twp.

The brewery’s owners say their long-term plans, after the tap room is established, involve leasing warehouse space to open a larger production brewery, first for kegs that would be delivered to area bars and restaurants, and ultimately for canning or bottling Crooked Handle Brewing’s brews for retail sales.

The brewery is planning to serve a broad range of beer styles, with a partial focus on beers that “bridge the gap” between mass-produced domestic beers and the sometimes-extreme, high-alcohol craft beers, its owners said.

“We want people to be able to come in here and have more than one beer,” Moore said.

Plans call for Crooked Handle Brewing to serve only its own beers, opening with a selection of four flagship brews, then ramping up to offer additional seasonal beers.

“We believe there is plenty of room for growth,” Pedro said.
