Big Ash Brewing

The food is very good-love the cauliflower crust pizza. Great selection of beers and drinks. Great place to meet up with friends.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We were invited to a business meeting at Big Ash Brewing. I found it a bit on the pricey side - especially for a serve yourself setup. I appreciated the selection, and I certainly enjoyed the food. They have a huge setup, and the football game was on, so that was a plus as well.I am a little concerned for the location - I see there is development around them, so hopefully they are in the right place for the are to grow around them, but our group were the only customers, and the kitchen was feeling the pain. Times were longer than I would have imagined, and one guy was working his buns off, while the other two chatted about how hot it was. I didn't see any leadership the whole time we were there - and if I did see them, it wasn't obvious they were in a supervisory status.But, the beer was cold, the selection was good, and the food was decent. Not sure I'd make my way back on my own, but if I happened to be part of a group wanting to go, I wouldn't fight it.

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!

You have to pay attention when you arrive and hear the spiel because it's basically self serve. Many of the beers I wanted to try were out. So where most my wife wanted to try as well. The pretzel bread appetizer was really good. The pizza can only be described as terrible. If you like the pizza, it's because you don't know any better. There's much better pizza in the frozen section of your local grocery. Red Baron and Jack's is better. Try that before the pizza here. I was hoping it was going to be something like the Pizza that used to be at Taft's Brewpourium. Sadly disappointed. The cinnamon stick dessert was ok. I'd have that and skip the pizza. Must have been kids birthday party hang out night when we went. Kids running loose everywhere, babies crying. Didn't know if I was at a brewery or Chuck E Cheese.

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!

Wonderful beer and you can pour as many ounces as you want including a half pint, quarter pipe or even three quarter pints. You pour the beer yourself and pay by the ounce!
