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 the brewpub this cider poured a red-pink color with a small soapy white head that faded quickly. The aroma was very strong blueberry and nothing else. Very one dimensional on the nose but pleasant. The flavor was dryish with blueberry and a touch of cracker. Medium length dry blueberry finish. Light to medium body. Pleasant.
