“We could not be prouder to show our community what we have created this coming Friday,” says Burton.  “Jeff’s beers turned out great, as did the space.  We look forward to welcoming all of our friends and neighbors this coming weekend, and hope to see them frequently.”

The name 16 Lots Brewing Company is derived from the founding history of the city of Mason.  On June 1, 1803, Revolutionary War Veteran Major William Mason paid $1,700 at auction to purchase 640 acres of land between the Great and Little Miami Rivers in what is now downtown Mason.  In 1815, he platted 16 lots on this land and named the village “Palmira”.  The name of the town was changed to Mason in 1835.

Furlong Building and WorK Architecture + Design designed and built the space that includes an industrial farmhouse motif, with a 22-foot shuffleboard table and three dart boards.  With 140 seats inside and an additional 72 outside, 16 Lots has plenty of space to accommodate all the craft brewing enthusiasts in the community.

 “We are thrilled to have successfully built another great brewery facility in the region and to be Mason’s first, is a proud honor,” said Furlong CEO Jude Hehman.

16 Lots will feature Mad Monks Pizza Co., serving thin-crust, New York-style pizzas and salads. For opening weekend, 16 Lots will be open Saturday the 16th from noon until midnight, and on Sunday the 17th from noon until 7:00PM.  Regular hours vary by weekday.
