Attractive exterior in an industrial setting. Plenty of parking.
Pretty dark inside, mostly black walls. High-and low-top tables and a bar. Several sports screens without those being the focus.
Loud vibe: live music tonight to which few are paying attention; most of those present are rather shouting at each other to communicate; i.e., not a place for quiet conversation.
Service for both beer and food are “order at the bar,” and service is friendly and fast.
Beer and food are both acceptable to pretty good. It was nice to have beer served in glassware appropriate to beer style!
Not a standout brewpub, but an enjoyable one.

Blue Ash, Ohio's best craft brewery. The taproom is a little dark, but they have decent food and live music all the time. They make some quality beer and aren't afraid to take a few risks. Service is always good and I like to swing by here as often as I can. One of the better, almost in Cincinnati but not quite, breweries.
