E-Malt.com News article: USA, OH: Dead Low Brewing dropping anchor in Cincinnati

A new brewing company is dropping anchor on Kellogg Avenue in Cincinnati's California neighborhood — within walking distance of Coney Island and Riverbend Music Center. Dead Low Brewing is slated to open its doors on Oct. 10 and will feature a taproom, beer garden and kitchen, the Cincinnati CityBeat reported.

Located at 5959 Kellogg Ave., Dead Low takes its name from the term for the minimum depth needed for a boat to traverse a body of water safely and because the brewery is located so close to the Ohio River.

The taproom will serve beer, cider and seltzer brewed on-site, as well as a from-scratch food menu featuring burgers, sandwiches, pizza, wings, salad and entrees like hangar steak and ribs; there's also a dedicated kids menu and several vegetarian options. Many dishes will utilize Dead Low brews, like in the beer-battered haddock sandwich or the beer cheesecake.

According to a release, the outdoor beer garden will seat over 200 and features a bar handmade by local sculptors. In addition to the sculptural work, there is also a mural in the taproom that "shares the story of Dead Low."

Low is designed to be a community destination for friends, families, and colleagues,” said co-founder Christine Hall in a release. “When designing the brewery, our team wanted plenty of creative indoor and outdoor spaces to roam and relax, as well as spaces for casual dining and conversation. Enjoy music and entertainment, host a business meeting, throw a private event, or simply stop in for a pint and a bite.”

Greg Snow serves a brewmaster, with restauranteur partner Dave Rinderle and head chef Scotty Berens. Additional co-founders with the aforementioned Hall include Kyle Havens and Paul Ganim.

Snow has 30 years of brewing experience and the current tap menu features a pale ale, Caribbean stout, Belgian saison and Belgian wit, light lager and several cream ales.

“It was important to make sure there was something on tap for everyone,” said Havens in the release. “The brewery is next door to softball fields, and walking distance to Riverbend, so having a selection of lighter beers that are still packed with craft beer flavor was crucial. And for those who don’t want a beer, we offer hard cider, seltzers, wine, house cocktails, craft root beer and local kombucha.”

The brewery plans to open its doors at 3-10 p.m. Oct. 10 with hours 3-10 p.m. Sunday, 3-11 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 3-midnight Friday-Saturday.
