So I'm a big beer fan for the most part and I've been working at a new local bar near Cleveland (Brewkeeper on Center Ridge Road in North Ridgeville, Ohio . . . a shameless plug, I know). Well, we have a brew-on-premise facility that my boss tells me is one of two in the area (The Brew Kettle near Strongsville being the other). I have a bunch of people who are interested in coming in to brew, so it got me to thinking: How big is the BOP market in Ohio and surrounding states?
I've heard of plenty of microbreweries (I mean, we carry Bell's Two- Hearted out of MI, I've been to visit the Jolly Pumpkin) but now I'm starting to get interested in doing my own batches. I don't know exactly how to go about looking for other BOPs to do it at (don't want to take up one of our kettles myself) but if there is one close and with a short waiting list similar to my own brewery... I could definitely be interested.
