Description
Platform was founded in 2014 on the premise that collaboration should be at the cornerstone of everything that we do. Whether it be with pro brewers, the home brewing world or a variety of other industries, beer is special and should be shared.
From humble beginnings, brewing on a 3 bbl brewhouse in Cleveland, Platform has expanded to a second Tasting Room in Columbus, a Production Facility in Cleveland, a Cincinnati Tasting Room named LOCOBA and a Sour Beer Facility named Phunkenship

We brew high-quality craft beers for sale in our tasting rooms and distribute throughout Ohio. Expect a mix of ever-changing styles inspired by beer trends.

$2 can from vintage. Big giant foaming head. Taste is not so much much eye-pah, but its there. Makes for a somewhat bitter medium tea beer. Not sure if I can pick out the tea, it must be hidden somepklace back in the corners of my mind. Very good carbonation within. Its somewhat refreshing and I'm surprised its listed as 6%, its probably not, heheheh. Now, in the middle, the ipa bitterness begins to set in. However, bot sure if this ever really gets into IPA territory; more like a higher class APA, JMHO. A cloudy pale mildly IPA beer with a head that goes rocky. There, you have it.
