It’s clear that there is a passion for craft beer, and the demand for our offerings has steadily grown.

In addition, OFB has released multiple seasonal and limited edition beers through Cavalier with many new seasonal options planned to be routinely available and as production allows.

“OFB’s dedication to brewing high-quality, exceptional beers has earned it a strong reputation in the current markets,” commented State Sales Manager Aaron Spoores, Cavalier Distributing. “Building on this initial success, we’re confident that OFB’s offerings will be widely accepted throughout Ohio, as we roll out this extended distribution.”

The Old Firehouse Brewery, established in 2013, is a family owned and operated business. The proprietors are local area residents Adam Cowan, a former fire fighter, and his wife Lori Ward. The Chief Brewer is Ben Ramsey, previously with Alltech/Kentucky Ale. As the name implies, OFB’s brewery/taproom is located in an old firehouse and decorated with historical firefighter memorabilia.
