USA, OH: Crooked Handle Brewing opens in Springboro

Springboro's new brewery has set an opening date, Dayton Business Journal reported on December 24.

Crooked Handle Brewing Co. posted on its Facebook page that it would be open 4 p.m. to midnight Christmas.

The brewery listed its holiday hours on Facebook as 4 p.m. to midnight Christmas Day, 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday and 11 a.m. to midnight New Year’s Day.

Crooked Handle is the latest development in a local brewery boom, with popular breweries expanding, giving new life to old spaces, providing local options, and fostering community pride.

The brewery first announced in May that it signed a five-year lease for a 3,500-square-foot space in the Marketplace at Settlers Walk shopping center in Springboro.

Business partners Jason Moore and Jeff Pedro Jr. said at the time that they had been preparing to open a brewery for the last two years and after landing some investors earlier this year, were ready to move forward with the project.

Crooked Handle will add to the region's bustling brewery scene that has seen a dozen open in the past few years.
