Known for its Samuel Adams brand, the Boston Beer Company has increased its presence in Cincinnati’s West End by reportedly spending close to $4 million to acquire more than an acre of land. According to The Cincinnati Enquirer, the plots, which were purchased through American Craft Brewery LLC, consist of a variety of vacant lots and industrial buildings close to the company’s current brewery on Central Parkway and Samuel Adams Taproom in Over-the-Rhine.
A manufacturing building located at 517 Findlay St. was the focal point of the November 6 sale, which was completed for $3.44 million, according to WLWT. Their main Samuel Adams beer brewing facility are located far from this location. Among the properties acquired were those between Findlay Street and Livingston Street that were immediately west of industrial buildings built in the 1950s.
The Boston Beer Company’s action suggests that its facilities will be strategically improved. Brittany Zahoruiko, senior manager of communications at Boston Beer, told The Enquirer, “The acquisition of more land in the West End is part of our overall investment in the Samuel Adams Cincinnati Brewery that is intended to help streamline operations and create efficiencies throughout the brewing, packaging, and shipping processes.” She refused to elaborate on the intentions for the recently purchased site, though.
According to The Business Courier, in addition to the well-known Findlay Street acquisitions, the corporation paid $520,000 in cash for an extra 0.63 acres that included 13 consolidated parcels from 525 to 545 Findlay St. and 528 to 536 Livingston St. The majority of these lots are undeveloped land that is located just west of the industrial sites they purchased. Nearly two blocks make up the entire purchased area, which offers substantial development possibilities.
There is currently no information available regarding the wider effects of the Boston Beer Company’s growth in the historic West End or any possible connections to the adjacent Hamilton County Land Bank assets. According to a statement received by The Business Courier, a demolition permit is being sought for a closed market located at 549 Findlay St., which borders the recently acquired Boston Beer buildings. This suggests that more developments may be in the works.
