UPDATE:<\/strong> The West Sixth Covingtonhaus taproom is officially open, as of 1\/11\/24! Make sure that you head down to check out their new space and drink a few beers!<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cA taproom in a shipping container? That can\u2019t work.\u201d I was sitting over a pint of beer with a fellow craft beer fan talking about the location that West Sixth was planning for Newport on the Levee, and I\u2019ll admit, they were right \u2013 it didn\u2019t last forever. The West Sixth Box Park taproom is permanently closed, now\u2026 but not because of some failure that was predicted by my friend that day.<\/p>\n

The taproom is closed because winter is setting in, and by the time they have opened their doors back up\u2026 they\u2019ll have a new space ready to go. Their first real foray into the Cincinnati beer scene is coming\u2026 and I think we should probably talk about it.<\/p>\n

First \u201cReal\u201d Foray?<\/h2>\n

You read that right. I hope that most of you know this, but if not, West Sixth is no stranger to Cincinnati. Since opening its Box Park \u201ctaproom\u201d in 2021, the brewery has quietly been surveying our local beer scene from a shipping container in Newport on the Levy. This little taproom-in-a-box sparked many rumors that the brewery, headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, was thinking about opening something a little bigger.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a crazy thought. Cincinnati loves beer, and while we\u2019re not always super welcoming and accepting of \u201coutside beer,\u201d we seem to have adopted West Sixth into the first round of peripheral breweries that we still support quite a bit. I think part of the reason that they\u2019ve found some luck here while others have floundered comes down to timing. When they started distributing their beer here in February 2015, we had just started experiencing the explosion of craft breweries. We were eager. We welcomed them in and have been drinking the beer ever since.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

From Newport To Covington<\/h2>\n

West Sixth\u2019s Box Park taproom relies on a few things to make it work. The most significant factor is the weather. They\u2019re located in the Box Park at Newport on the Levee, which means they are only open in the summertime, right next to a couple of other bars, including the little tiki bar in the Box Park \u2013 they need sunshine to have a great day.<\/p>\n

The bigger factor is the Levee itself. The Levee can have very different crowds daily, especially depending on what events are going on. Folks need to park in the garage, walk up to the box park, and decide to snag a drink from that spot rather than other spaces.<\/p>\n

It leaves a lot up to outside factors. You\u2019re probably not going to get many drinkers who head to Newport specifically to snag a West Sixth beer. I\u2019d argue that there are likely a lot of pretty serious beer drinkers in Cincy who don\u2019t even know they\u2019re there.<\/p>\n

After years of observation, contemplation, and searching\u2026 It all came together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Covington Haus<\/h2>\n

When they came across the space at 100 West Sixth<\/em> Street in Covington, the West Sixth team probably found it challenging to ignore the obvious connection to the brand. They could have just ended with that, opened a basic taproom, and called it a day, but they didn\u2019t. They dug into the building\u2019s history to inspire what this new space would look and feel like.<\/p>\n

The building started as a firehouse, as evidenced by its beautiful arched windows and intricate stonework. Most recently, it was home to Flying Axes and, before that, a sports bar called Tickets. However, its real history is when it was known as \u2018Covington Haus\u2019. This restaurant was led by the late Mick Noll, whose family gave their blessing to use the name.<\/p>\n

The Noll family spent much time, energy, and money saving the building and restoring it into a restaurant in the 1970s. It was a German-American-themed space that served up stuff like schnitzel, bratwurst, and a whole bunch of beer. More importantly, the restaurant became a gathering spot for locals. It\u2019s ingrained in the history of Covington, and the fact that West Sixth is leaning into this is absolutely wonderful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

What To Expect<\/h2>\n

Details of the new taproom are still sparse (I\u2019m waiting to have a chat with the folks at West Sixth to learn more) \u2013 it remains to be seen if they\u2019ll be brewing on-site or not (I\u2019ve heard both that they will and that they won\u2019t) \u2013 but we know that the new taproom space will be on the first floor of the building. The upstairs is occupied by \u2018Second Story,\u2019 which is a great cocktail bar if you haven\u2019t been (RIP Radiodown\u2026 IYKYK). They\u2019ll have 20 taps pouring West Sixth beer, and if you can\u2019t find something out of those, you might be doing something very wrong.<\/p>\n

Although the brewery has been holding tight to keeping the details of the onsite restaurant secret, so far\u2026 I have a lot of faith in them to create something that not only works for their brand, but that pays homage to Covington and the entire Greater Cincinnati area as a whole. It\u2019s a tough line to toe, but If you\u2019ve ever been to one of West Sixth\u2019s other locations (they currently have four other locations in Kentucky).<\/p>\n

The brewery initially slated an opening for \u201cFall\u201d of 2024, but considering how close we\u2019re getting to it being \u201cWinter\u201d of 2024 \u2013 I\u2019d say we\u2019re either about to hear a lot more about this location, or they were a little off on their estimate. Regardless of which way it\u2019s headed, stay tuned here because as soon as I have more details, I\u2019ll share them with you!<\/p>\n
