Four String Brewing grows Ohio distribution, enters Cincy

Four String Brewing Co., one of the fastest growing craft breweries in Ohio, is launching distribution in Cincinnati and the surrounding area with Ohio Valley Wine & Beer this week.

“Four String has been available primarily to craft beer lovers in Columbus and Cleveland, and thanks to our new production facility and partnership with Ohio Valley, we now have the capacity to share our killer beer with Cincinnati,” said Four String founder Dan Cochran.

Four String tripled capacity in 2015 with its expansion into a state-of-the-art 25,000-square-foot production facility on Columbus’ west side that includes a 30-barrel brewhouse, a canning line, a sensory analysis laboratory and a second taproom.

“Ohio Valley is thrilled to partner with Four String, Ohio’s Killer Beer, in Cincinnati,” said Ryan Horan of Ohio Valley. “Dan Cochran and his team put out phenomenal beers that are well-positioned to grow in this market.”

Four String will distribute its core brands in Cincinnati including Switchblade IPA, Brass Knuckle Pale Ale and Payback Pilsner as well as seasonal beers produced throughout the year. Four String beers will be available in cans and on draft in restaurants, bars, grocery stores and carryout’s throughout the Cincinnati area.

“The opportunity to pair with a brand that has such a well-established identity as well as a great lineup of core offerings is always exciting,” said Horan. “Four String has some fantastic additions in the works for this year, and we at Ohio Valley look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
