Our Origin Story

Brewed in Orbit,
Poured on Earth

A Cincinnati brewery with its head in the stars and its roots in the Ohio River Valley.

How We Landed

From a Garage to the Galaxy

Hop Notch Brewing started when a few homebrewers swore they saw something strange streak across the Ohio sky — and decided their beer should taste just as out-of-this-world. What began as a garage experiment is now a full-fledged brewing operation with a cult following.

Every batch is crafted in small runs using locally-sourced grain, wild yeast, and a healthy obsession with experimentation. No two landings taste quite the same, and that's exactly the point.
