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.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/27/2017. Pours fairly hazy pale golden/yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly foamy and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lemon, orange zest, peach, pear, pineapple, melon, red apple, peppercorn, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, wood, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, peppercorns, bready malt, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, orange zest, peach, pear, pineapple, melon, red apple, peppercorn, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, wood, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast spice and light herbal/woody/grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange zest, peach, pear, pineapple, melon, red apple, peppercorn, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, wood, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, peppercorns, bready malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitter/spiciness and carbonation, increasing through the glass. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, and lightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a delicious saison. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, peppercorns, bready malt, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. Nice yeast complexity and malt/spice presence; with great balance. Nice body/mouthfeel from the spelt/wheat malts. Very flavorful and never watery feeling for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
