BC's Brewing Company

What BC's Brewing Company does

BC's Brewing Company is a privately held craft brewery and taproom operator headquartered in Mason, Ohio, serving the Greater Cincinnati Area. The business traces back to 2015, when co-founders Brian and Caleb launched BC's Bottle Lodge, a bottle shop and taproom in Liberty Township, Ohio (opened March 2016). After surviving COVID and closing a Montgomery location, the founders pivoted in 2022 to a production brewery model, recruiting brewer Ryan — formerly at one of Cincinnati's largest craft breweries — and renovating a 75-year-old former 1950s service station at 4064 US-42, Mason into the company's flagship production brewery, taproom, and patio, which opened to the public in 2024. The legal entity is BC's Brewing Company, LLC, an Ohio-domiciled LLC that filed a Form D exempt securities offering with the SEC on 2023-11-07 for up to $300,000 in equity at a $25,000 minimum investment.

The core product is a rotating craft beer lineup of roughly 20 styles spanning Kölsch, Hazy Pale Ale, NEIPA, NE DIPA, Maibock, Vienna Lager, American Light Lager, Winter Lager, Porter variants, Imperial Stout, Irish Red, Brown Ales, IPAs, and seasonal recipes — including the Kidd Coffee-supplied "Beaned Up" Coffee Brown Ale. The company has no proprietary technology, mobile app, or public API; its digital footprint consists of a Wix-hosted website and an Arryved-powered online shop and Mug Club enrollment flow. Revenue is generated through on-premise draft sales at the taproom and patio (3-10 PM M-Th, 11 AM-11 PM F-Sat, 11 AM-8 PM Sun), to-go draft fills, branded merchandise via the online shop, distribution under the 2022 production pivot, private event rentals in "The Den" (capacity 50, with catering or BYO food options plus beer, wine, and cocktails), and the BC's Mug Club annual subscription ($200 initial / $150 year 2 / $100 thereafter pre-Grand Opening; $250/$200/$150 post-Grand Opening), which delivers a custom hand-blown glass mug, draft and merchandise discounts, exclusive events, and quarterly recipe voting rights. The team consists of co-founders Brian and Caleb plus brewer Ryan, with the company classified as 1-10 employees total.
