Construction Underway for New Mason Ohio Brewery

16 Lots Brewing Company First Mason Brewery to Open Late Summer

Mason, OH—Michael Burton, owner of the new 16 Lots Brewing Company currently under construction in Mason turned to “brewer builder” Furlong Building Enterprises, to help design and construct his community brewery project. Hoping to create a place to connect, a community and family-oriented gathering place centered around a high quality, local brewery, Burton is looking forward to “16 Lots becoming part of the fabric of the Mason community.”

            Construction of the 6,600 sq. ft. industrial & farmhouse style brewery is underway with an expected late summer opening. 16 Lots 10-barrel brewery and taproom will have comfortable small-group seating for 130 along with a 40-seat bar when completed. “Brewing great traditional beers will be our signature, and we want to become a community-centered place where friends and family can gather to enjoy one of the area’s proudest traditions; locally-brewed beer,” said Burton. Six flagship beers will be on tap each day, and Burton expects to introduce seasonal and holiday-themed beers throughout the year. A former consumer products expert, Burton is combining his branding and marketing experience along with his passion and love of beer to create a laid-back, neighborhood venue where people will be comfortable and enjoy an evening out with friends.

            “The micro-brewing market is on fire in the Cincinnati region and we are proud to be part of the explosion of great places to enjoy high quality locally-brewed beers,” said Furlong CEO Jude Hehman. “Working with 16 Lots is an honor and we look forward to delivering another quality Furlong project and celebrating with a frosty 16 Lots beer!” The 16 Lots architectural design was developed by WorK Architecture + Design.

            A separately-owned restaurant will be included in the 16 Lots space in Mason. The restaurant will be serving casual, made-from-scratch food that pairs well with the variety of beers that will be served. Traditional style German pilsner, American wheat, Amber Ale and oatmeal Stout are among the regularly available beers planned for 16 Lots.

Former Presbyterian Church home to CELC’s newest education center

Cincinnati, OH—Furlong Building Enterprises has completed the first and second phases of a six-part construction and renovation project for Cincinnati Early Learning Centers’ (CELC) 7,500 sq. ft. new facility.

This is the third Price Hill facility for CELC.

            “We are proud to have completed our first project for CELC, creating an environment that is warm, welcoming and conducive to learning and teaching,” said Furlong CEO Jude Hehman. “It is a sign of hope and progress to repurpose a former church, bringing it to life so that children can learn in a top-notch environment.”

            The Furlong team worked with CELC President and CEO Patricia Gleason to plan every detail of the project. “The staff and board of the Cincinnati Early Learning Centers are thrilled to be expanding our programs to our newest center in Price Hill,” said Patricia Gleason. “This has been an exciting project to work on, and we are pleased to have a new partnership working with Furlong Building Enterprises as well.”

            Founded in 1981, Cincinnati Early Learning Centers manages eight early learning centers, seven of which are 5-star “Step Up to Quality” rated centers, the highest-rated in early childhood educational programs.

When the entire building renovation is completed, the center will serve up to 130 children at this new Price Hill location.

Furlong Brewing Up Another Great Project; this time in Cincinnati’s West Side

 

West Side Brewing to be Complete in April

Wilder, KY—Taking a 1930’s building and combining it with owners who are passionate about brewing great beer, are the keys to success for another Furlong-built beer brewing project, this time in Cincinnati’s west side. The 12,000-sq. ft. West Side Brewing will be opening on Harrison Avenue across from the Westwood Town Hall in Westwood next April, 2017. Formerly the Wullenweber Motors Company building in Cincinnati’s west side, the building is undergoing a $1.3 million renovation and will soon become a vibrant, community destination with a wide variety of beer brewed onsite, offering something for everyone’s palate.

            West Side Brewing owner, Joe Mumper describes the new project as, “A gathering place for the community, offering a minimum of 12 beers that will suit everyone’s tastes.” Mumper hopes their location in the heart of Westwood will become part of the fabric of the neighborhood, continuing the great Cincinnati tradition of locally-crafted beer. 

            “We are excited to repurpose an older building, bringing to it new life and a dynamic business to the Cincinnati community,” said Furlong CEO Jude Hehman. “We look forward to celebrating the opening of West Side Brewing in the spring.”

            West Side Brewery owners include Joe Mumper, Brian Willett, Kurtis Remmel and Jim Remmel. The project architect is Tyler Watkins of Work Architecture & Design. Located at 3044 Harrison Avenue in Westwood, the project will include two taprooms allowing for an inside look at the beer-making process and for large and private parties to have some separate areas. Plans are to include weekly entertainment, live music, a menu of small bites and onsite food trucks. The partners are this week launching a Kickstarter campaign to help fund some of the features and to include ideas coming from the investors.
