New wave of Cincinnati breweries take a lesson from the past to find recipes for success
Four distinctive craft breweries are putting inventive spins on the unsinkable Cincinnati tradition of brewing the finest beers.
Silverton
Originally a farming community, Silverton has transformed over time into a cozy, yet bustling, residential village. The most racially integrated locale in the region, it offers a small-town feel with a vibrant, urban overtone. With a population of nearly 5,000, Silverton boasts walkable neighborhoods, attainable homes with varied architectural styles, and convenient small businesses. Fifteen minutes from downtown Cincinnati, it’s easily accessible via Montgomery Road. Nearby Kenwood Mall offers abundant commerce within arms reach. Silverton’s homegrown businesses are also thriving and attracting new crowds. High Grain Brewing Company outgrew its digs and now occupies the old municipal building. Mayor John A. Smith believes Silverton is experiencing a renaissance. “Our best days are here,” has been his proud mantra as of late.
