Platform Beer Company is a brewery in the Ohio City neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio.

History

Platform Beer began as a collaboration by Paul Brenner, a homebrew supply store owner, and Justin Carson, owner of a draft line servicing company.[2] The Lorain Avenue brewpub, which opened to the public in 2015, occupies a building that previously housed part of the Leisy Brewing Company (est. 1873).[3] Besides its pimary aim of producing beer for the Northeast Ohio market, Platform's secondary mission is to educate and facilitate brewing education in the Greater Cleveland area.[4] In addition to its availability on draught in local bars and in cans via retail, Platform's beers are also served in Progressive Field and First Energy Stadium.[5][6] In 2016, Platform procured a building in Columbus, Ohio, where a second brewpub will be opening in the future.[7] Platform, along with Great Lakes Brewing and Market Garden Brewery, comprises a section of Ohio City that is locally referred to as the Brewing District.[8][9]
