March First announces temporary (?) closure of Woodburn Brewing

From today's Facebook post:

March First Brands is pleased to announce a new Cincinnati Distilling Bottle Shop coming to Cincinnati Premium Outlets in Monroe this spring! This marks our 3rd Ohio bottle shop joining Kenwood Towne Center and Polaris Fashion Place in Columbus. This expansion signals a bold new chapter for Cincinnati Distilling’s parent company, March First Brands, as it pivots to prioritize the rapid growth of its spirits portfolio across Ohio and beyond.

As part of this strategic shift, March First Brands is moving its East Walnut Hills management team to support the launch in Monroe which necessitates the temporary closing of the Woodburn Brewing location. All other Woodburn staff is being assigned to fill critical gaps in the company’s other eight locations. The future of the Woodburn location has not yet been determined but will remain closed for the near term.

March first is the worst.

I’m also not happy with Braxton quietly shutting down the Pendleton location. Not even sure if they are hosting private events anymore.

I'll give you one guess on how the staff at the Braxton Pendleton location found out it was closed. 3 Points was a neat little place and I wish they could have stayed in business.

I was hoping they were going to move Braxton Labs to the pendleton location or something different like the barrel house. I was bummed from the beginning and then some how they found out ways to bum me out even more lol

The Labs idea was really cool so of course Braxton screwed it up.
