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.

Sampled on draft at Hugo's this beer poured a murky peach-tan color with a medium sized foamy white head. The aroma was yeast, glazed donut and a tart undertone. The flavor was glazed donut, yeast, sugar, a bit of chocolate, faint banana and tart presence. Very long finish. Medium body. Weird but it works.

Orange/orange peel, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Moderately sweet orange, lemon, biscuit malt,and moderately bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Okay body. More like a mediocre APA than a cream ale.
