Brewery closures in Columbus, Ohio

Overview

Several breweries in the Columbus, Ohio, area are facing closures due to economic and operational pressures.

Nocterra Brewing Co. abruptly ceased operations at its Powell flagship and its Scioto Audubon Metro Park location. Co-founder Bryan Duncan informed employees that the business is “on hiatus as we work to find the final path for Nocterra,” stating the company has “run out of runway to keep fighting.”

Hoster Brewing Company announced it will close its North James Road taproom after October 31. The company cited rising costs for energy, materials, and ingredients, as well as rent increases and changing consumer habits. While the taproom is closing, the legacy brand is seeking another brewery to potentially take over its name and beer lineup, with keg sales expected to continue until current stock is depleted.
