I don\u2019t love how it makes me feel\u2026 but we\u2019re going to break it all down and see how we <strong>should<\/strong> feel with all of this.<\/p>\n<p>March First is opening a new Cincinnati Distilling bottle shop space and closing its Woodburn taproom \u201ctemporarily.\u201d Let\u2019s consider both of these pieces one at a time.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cincinnati Distilling Heads To Monroe<\/h2>\n<p>The Cincinnati Premium Outlets in Monroe are being announced as the next location in the big rollout of Cincinnati Distilling bottle shops. We saw the first one open in Kenwood (inside the mall) last year, and then the announcement came early this year of the space in Polaris Fashion Place up in Columbus. The third spot at the outlets in Monroe will be a great addition for the brands.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t think of a reason that snagging a bottle of whiskey, rum, vodka, or my favorite, the Voltage Peppermint Schnapps, while you\u2019re doing your shopping would be a <strong>bad<\/strong> thing. It almost makes shopping seem like a good time to me.<\/p>\n<p>The company is clearly seeing a lot of success with this model and is using it to expand its footprint for the distillery side of its business in a unique way that benefits it in many unique ways.<\/p>\n<p>With the announcement, though, comes the other news.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Woodburn Is Closed<\/h2>\n<p>I have to be very clear about this\u2014the press release says that this Woodburn closing is a \u201ctemporary closing.\u201d The company still owns the space; they\u2019re not planning on getting rid of it, and that\u2019s a great piece of this puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>The next line in that press release, though, goes on\u2026 \u201cThe future of the Woodburn location has not yet been determined, but will remain closed for the near term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ok\u2026 what does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>They make it a point to let us know that it\u2019s part of their move into the retail environment \u2013 and are making \u201ctactical moves within their footprint to redeploy some of their teams\u201d \u2013 part of that is the management team from Woodburn heading to these new retail locations. The press release says THAT necessitates the closure, with remaining team members being offered other jobs within the company.<\/p>\n<p>Is this a staffing closure?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What I Think<\/h2>\n<p>I can\u2019t help but feel this isn\u2019t the full story. They <strong>hopefully<\/strong> have some sort of long-term plans for the taproom, which would be turning 10 this summer. It\u2019s the oldest taproom in the March First portfolio and holds a special place in the story of Cincinnati craft beer.<\/p>\n<p>I believe them when they call this temporary\u2026 but I don\u2019t know that we\u2019ll see Woodburn in the same way ever again. A rebrand wouldn\u2019t surprise me, a name change\u2026 a new rebirth of SOME kind. If their push into their spirits business is doing as well as it seems with the opening of their retail bottle shops, could we see a Walnut Hills Cincinnati Distilling Location? None of that would surprise me in the slightest.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what\u2019s next\u2026 but I don\u2019t think it looks great for Woodburn as we know it.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written By: The Gnarly Gnome This is a little bit of good news\/bad news for fans of Woodburn and the March First Family of spaces around Cincinnati.
