Sparking New Life in an Old Favorite
Residents of the Clintonville neighborhood in Columbus were understandably saddened when Lineage Brewing, a community staple since 2015, announced their closure. However, the melancholy was tempered by the concurrent announcement that Pickerington’s Combustion Brewery would be taking over the space. A few short months later, and Combustion Clintonville is now open and serving up fresh pints to their new neighbors. Read more about Combustion’s new location at clintonvillespotlight.com
North by Northwest
A pair of northwest Ohio breweries opened taprooms to the public for the first time in early August. Quenched & Tempered Brewing has been building name recognition in the Toledo craft beer market for a few years now, with beers on tap and cans on shelves at several bars, restaurants and bottle shops around the area. Their plans for a downtown Toledo taproom were complicated by the pandemic, but the brewery’s persistence has paid off as the doors to the industrial tasting room are now open.
Twenty miles to the west in Swanton, Oncore Brewing cut the ribbon on their brewery and taproom on August 4. While several Toledo area breweries have expanded production facilities and added new taprooms in 2022, Oncore is the first brand new brewing company to emerge on the scene so far this year. The initial taplist features a diverse array of brews and creative infusions with more on the way as the brewery grows. Learn more about the Toledo area’s newest breweries at wtol.com.
