Platform Beer Company was a beer manufacturer in the Ohio City neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. The brand is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev.

History

Platform Beer began as a collaboration between 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 2014, occupied a building that previously housed part of the Leisy Brewing Company (est. 1873). [3] Besides its primary aim of producing beer for the Northeast Ohio market, Platform's secondary mission was 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 were also served in Progressive Field and FirstEnergy Stadium. [5] [6] In 2016, Platform procured a building in Columbus, Ohio, where a second brewpub opened. [7]

On Wednesday, February 22, 2023, the doors of the taprooms were closed for the last time. [8] [9]
