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 by 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]
