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.

Can. Pours a clear orangish gold with a thin head. Flavor is grain dust and oranges. It’s boring and not that fun.

Can. Nice clean light gold with a thin head and aromas of melon and lime. Flavor is straight up boring pale ale with a little bit of an edge that is oranges and maybe some sort of green stuff that I can’t quite identify. Herbal, yes... That’s about all I can figure to describe it. It’s ok as a beer but kind of boring in spite of the \"exciting\" additions.

12oz can, marked at 6%, pours a translucent brown with ruby edges and some cloudy tan head. Nose has malt, bread, yeast, some soil, some chocolate. Flavor is straight forward, toast, yeast, mild chocolate, a little brown sugar. Dry finish. A straight up porter.

Can. Hazy light gold body with a sudsy head and aromas of light pine and citrus. Flavor is kind of grainy and lightly resinous. Kind of a bland take on the style in my book.
