GENERAL QUESTIONS

Are children welcome in the taproom?

Parents are welcome to bring their children in the taproom. During your visit parents, please control your children. Please make sure they are wearing shows on the patio and throughout the taproom due to residual broken glass that may be present. During Fridays and Saturdays, parents with younger children are asked to be out by 9pm. This is no exception for parents with newborns.

Should you have any questions or a special request to have children in the taproom past 9pm, please call our main line at 513-914-4677 (HOPS).

Do you have baby-changing stations in your restrooms?

We do not have baby-changing stations in our single use restrooms located in the taproom. Baby-changing stations are located in the main Gatherall restrooms up the steps and towards the front of the hall.

Are dogs permitted?

Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted in the taproom due to health code regulations. However, we do have a huge outdoor patio that you are welcome to enjoy with your pup. All dogs must be kept on a leash while outside our building. There is an onsite dog park available for use at Factory 52. The entire area is very dog friendly. 

Can I get my growler filled?

You can bring in a 128-ounce, 64-ounce and/or a 32-ounce growler and have it filled. For the smaller size growlers that use the smaller style lids, please bring your own cap. 128-ounce growlers will be filled at double the price. The taproom also sells a variety of six-packs to-go and on occasion, single 16-ounce can barrel age stouts when available. If you do not have a glass growler, we have 32-ounce “crowlers” available to go for $10. We will fill both high-gravity and low-gravity beers for this price. Barrel age stouts are very limited and not available to go in growlers or crowlers.
