According to a release, the location will offer tours and a tasting room.

Anthony Scott, co-owner of Moeller Brew Barn, said the facility is a “long term plan” for the company.

“Our distribution sales throughout Ohio have seen rapid growth. We’ve been very successful with our contract distributors – Bonbright Distributors, Bobby Fisher Distributing, and NWO Beverage Inc. – so we can support this next step. The ongoing partnership with the city of Piqua and iPiqua made this an easy decision,” Scott said.

City of Piqua Community and Economic Development Director, Chris Schmiesing said the construction of the facility “represents a sizable investment in the community.”

Nick Moeller, co-owner of Moeller Brew Barn, said the building’s design will showcase the brewery, but will also “have a lot more to offer.”

A projected open date has not been released yet.
