This place is great!! Amazing staff, good beer and fun events! The self pour aspect makes it easy to try all kinds beer. Super fun!
The food is very good-love the cauliflower crust pizza. Great selection of beers and drinks. Great place to meet up with friends.
I've always loved this place for the beer and the pizza, especially on the nights with music or a sunny afternoon on the porch. In November, I threw a birthday party at Big Ash, and everything was easy and perfect. Stephanie was so wonderful to work with in planning the food. The spread of food not only looked wonderful, it was so so good: we had pizzas (which I already knew were delicious), sliders, veggie, fruit, and meat trays. I'm still wondering where they got such beautiful and tasty berries in the middle of November?! They were also attentive to bringing the pizzas out in intervals so they were warm. The ample party space on the heated porch was perfect; we could hear the band in the background while enjoying conversation. I also appreciated that decorating was allowed. I'd highly recommend!
Love the concept. Self-pour brewery with self ordering food tablets and food pickup. Staff is friendly and there for when you need assistance. Large variety of drink options. The entire place is great for large parties with many long communal tables. Lots of outdoor space too. They also have a large selection of games for adults and children.
A consortium of Brewers got together and decided to open their own brewery. It's a story book tale that actually worked. At Big Ash Brewing is all about the beer. They have a beer "Vending Area" area. You get a cash card then you pick and dispense your beer of choice. It's a great concept. Since I'm as newbie, I tried a small sample of several to find my favorite out of about 30 in-house brews. Then I got a full glass and sat down to some local entertainment. Tonight's band was "Twice Is Nice". A couple of talented guys who can sing pretty good, playing the music of Tom Petty, James Taylor & Elton John and a few of their own. After a few beers, We ordered food from the other "Vending Area". "Plan your own pizza" Sauce, cheese, toppings. Pick it up at the window when your buzzards goes off. The pizza was just "Ok". The giant pretzel was tasty. All said, the home brewed beer and the entertainment made this a great experience.
Service, owner , staff, trivia setup (Wednesdays) and the ambiance was a good time. Load your card up and swipe away (you connect it with your credit card to pay ). It was a great time for date night, and it wasn't disappointing since I've been trying to go for 2 years and was worth the wait. I didn't eat but, that's more of a reason to return. Then I got to personalize my bourbon based on a 12 question survey. Don't be late to the party like I was.
Stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon - We loved the self-serve experience of choosing from multiple beers on tap, without having to commit to a full glass if you were only wanting to have a taste. I settled on the Waves of Grain ale which I enjoyed. We ordered #1 pizza - toppings were very good but the crust was ordinary (did not eat the crusts, a sure sign of a lackluster dough). Service was friendly but spare (it's almost all self-serve, so not much of a role for staff except to direct confused patrons). The space was open with lots of seating. Ambiance is industrial/parking lot. It's located where the old (and kitschy) Rancho Rankin motel used to be, which old time Cincinnatians might remember.
