A New Chapter on Tap at Factory 52

|

Since day one, Factory 52 has been a place where people come together—to share a drink, discover something new, and build community. Over the past few years, Hi-Wire Brewing has been a central part of that mission. Their bold beer lineup, vibrant events, and welcoming atmosphere helped shape the energy and identity of this campus in meaningful ways. We are incredibly thankful for their partnership, presence, and the memories made together here in Norwood.

We also want to acknowledge the incredibly difficult year Hi-Wire has faced following the destruction of their Asheville headquarters due to Hurricane Helene. Despite the challenges, their team handled everything with grace, professionalism, and heart. We send our warmest wishes to the entire Hi-Wire crew and will always be cheering them on.

As we look to the future, we’re thrilled to announce that Braxton Brewing Company will soon take the reins of the Factory 52 taproom and outdoor green space. Braxton is a name already well-loved in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, known for its inventive brews, community-first mindset, and thoughtfully programmed gathering spaces.

This summer, Braxton will reopen the taproom, debut The Porch by Braxton Brewing Co., and re-imagine our event lawn with a full lineup of public activations, pop-ups, and seasonal happenings. Whether you’re here for a pint, live music, or a summer movie night under the stars, this next chapter will continue the legacy of Factory 52 as a place to gather, unwind, and connect.

Thank you to Hi-Wire for helping lay the foundation—and welcome, Braxton. We can’t wait to see where we go next.
