Little Miami Brewing Company

What Little Miami Brewing Company does

Little Miami Brewing Company is a Cincinnati-area craft brewery founded in 2017 in historic Old Milford, Ohio, on the banks of the Little Miami River. The company operates a small-batch brewing operation producing up to 16 different beer types across four series with seasonal rotations, paired with an on-site Taproom Pizza Kitchen (pizzas, salads, pretzels, chili, nachos) and a multi-experience venue comprising an indoor taproom, a seasonal rooftop bar, and a riverside patio with firepit. Its core technology is craft beer production using fresh, local ingredients; the company self-reports ranking #1 among roughly 60 breweries in the Cincinnati area, with a 4.5-star Google rating across 1,371 reviews and recognized awards including Best Brewery & Taproom 2025, Best Taproom 2024, and The Knot Best of Weddings 2022.

The company monetizes through three primary revenue streams: direct taproom and rooftop beer and food sales, private Event Center venue rentals for weddings and corporate/social events, and online merchandise sales. Event Center pricing is tiered by room (Mill Room 25-75 seated, Tecumseh Room 75-225 seated, combined up to 300), day-of-week, and season, with wedding rates ranging from $3,000 (off-season Friday/Sunday) to $7,500 (peak Saturday) and beverage packages priced per person. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the physical location at 208 Mill St, Milford, with online food and beer ordering through ToastTab, merchandise through a Shopify storefront, and a dedicated mobile app on iOS and Android.

Customer segments are diversified across craft beer enthusiasts and casual diners (primary), wedding and celebration hosts (primary), corporate and social event planners (secondary), and community event participants (secondary). The company runs a recurring programming schedule — Monday trivia with Bacchus Entertainment Cincinnati, Tuesday Singo with Cincinnati Bar Games, Giveback Wednesday with rotating nonprofit partners, and Thursday Fun Run with Tri-State Running Company — to drive repeat visitation and community engagement. The business model is asset-heavy and location-bound, with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no public reporting on revenue or ownership structure.
