Brewery Profile

Wandering Monsters Brewing Company

On Beechmont Avenue in Cincinnati, Wandering Monsters Brewing Company adds a newer stop to the city’s craft beer map, having opened in July 2023. Visitors walk into a brewery that is also a BBQ restaurant, so the experience is not limited to ordering a flight at the bar. The in-house beer program is paired with a food menu, indoor and outdoor seating areas, and built-in recreation, including Duckpin bowling. The operation is led by founder Jason Brewer, who previously managed Listermann Brewing Company, with Zac Boehnke as head brewer, Mark Farris overseeing hospitality, and Mike Georgiton managing kitchen operations. The overall setup is casual and family-friendly, with enough going on to suit people stopping in for beer, dinner, games, or a group outing.

Travelers exploring breweries in Cincinnati and the surrounding region often look for places that combine local beer with something more substantial than a quick tasting room stop. Wandering Monsters fits that pattern by offering house-brewed beers alongside BBQ and a recurring Taco Tuesday. Since specific beer names and rotating selections can change, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, but the core draw is the combination of fresh beer, smoked-food-focused dining, and social activities under one roof. For visitors who like brewery stops that can include non-beer drinkers, families, or mixed-age groups, the format is especially practical. It also gives travelers a reason to stay beyond a single pint, whether they are eating, bowling, or meeting friends.

For planning purposes, expect a brewery-restaurant rather than a production-only taproom. The venue has both indoor and outdoor spaces, hosts game nights, and can accommodate private events. Duckpin bowling is part of the visitor experience, so those interested in playing should check directly with the brewery for current availability, timing, or any reservation details. The same applies to hours, tap list, food specials, and event schedules, which are best confirmed through the brewery before going. Visitors arriving on Taco Tuesday can expect that special to be part of the food programming, while BBQ remains a central part of the regular menu. Its Beechmont Avenue setting makes it a Cincinnati stop suited to a full meal, a casual beer visit, or an activity-based outing.
