Taft's Brewpourium seeks to elevate craft beer experience

The grand opening of Taft's Brewing Co.'s new 50,000-square-foot location on Saturday was a literal circus. It featured circus performers, four bands headed by the Rumpke Mountain Boys, DJs in between -- and the first 500 people to show up got a golden ticket with a special prize in it. Kassling and business partner David Williams call the taproom in the front of the facility, located at 4831 Spring Grove Ave., the "Brewpourium." The back portion of the building makes up Taft's new state-of-the-art production and distribution facility.
