Christian Moerlein Brewing Co.
Christian Moerlein Brewing Co. is a private beer company that began production in 1853 in Cincinnati, Ohio, by German immigrant Christian Moerlein. Before closing its doors in 1919 as result of prohibition, Christian Moerlein was among the ten largest American breweries by volume. In 1981, the brand was revived by the Hudepohl Brewing Company as a "better beer" a precursor to the craft beer category and is considered a pioneer craft beer of the craft beer movement. In 1999, Hudepohl-Schoenling Brewing Co. sold out to a group of out-of-towners, a sale that included the Christian Moerlein craft beer brand. In 2004, Greg Hardman, a Cincinnati resident, purchased Christian Moerlein, as well as 65 other historic Cincinnati brands, returning local ownership to Cincinnati and eventually relocated brewing to the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood in 2010. Hardman also led the opening of the Christian Moerlein Lager House at The Banks development in February 2012. In late 2019, a new group led by Jay Woffington purchased an ownership stake in the company renaming the enterprise to Cincinnati Beverage Company (CinBev). In part due to the COVID-19 pandemic and reports of slipping product quality the company closed the Moore Street brewing facility and fired Greg Hardman in early December 2020. In March 2021 a complete rebrand of the lineup of beers was announced.
