When it comes to our beer, we firmly believe that a brewery can be utterly fearless in its creativity and deadly serious about its craft. If it’s undertaken with exacting care and standards, there’s no such thing as a “gimmick” beer. We craft classic traditional styles, we put our twist on industry trends, and we make wild experiments, all with the same high standards and attention to detail. For us, beer is a blank canvas that can express many things to many people, whether that’s the core craft enthusiast, a potentially wider audience, or somewhere in between. As the beverage market widens into other categories, we still believe there is a beer for everyone. And since that’s all we make, we strive to ensure it’s some of the best in the country.

Fibonacci Brewing Company is a nano-brewery, urban microfarm, and beer garden in Mount Healthy, Ohio, just north of Cincinnati. We brew small-batch beers that taste like here — built around locally grown, found, and foraged ingredients, local specialty hops, herbs from the garden, and the seasonal character of our six-city-lot farm. Our tap list rotates across familiar Fibonacci favorites and fresh releases from Head Brewer Willie Caldwell, from lagers, stouts, saisons, IPAs, milds, and gose to seasonal beers and nonalcoholic hop water. The farm is part of the experience: goats, chickens, quail, honeybees, a kitchen garden, and the people who tend them all shape what ends up in your glass. Fibonacci is also home to Pi Pizza Company, our permanent wood-fired pizza trailer serving personal pies with spent-grain dough, farm-grown toppings, and fresh salads made for pairing with a pint. Stay for the beer garden, live music Friday through Sunday, farm workshops, community programming, and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Under new ownership, we're building on what made Fibonacci special while growing what's next — The Farmhouse private event space, on-site stays, seasonal events, and more reasons to gather.

German immigrant George Wiedemann began brewing Wiedemann’s Fine Beer way back in 1870. He had moved from Cincinnati, where he was brewmaster at Kauffmann Brewery in Over-the-Rhine, to Newport, where he partnered with John Butcher at the Jackson Street Brewery. That’s where Wiedemann’s beer was born and the legend began. George later bought out his partner and incorporated as the Geo. Wiedemann Brewing Co. in 1878. A few years later he bought the Constanc Brewery in Newport, adding a large malt house and hillside lagering cellars to his operations. Wiedemann’s quickly grew to be among the area’s favorite beers, including a golden Bohemian lager for which it’s still famous today. Thirst-quenching and always refreshing, Wiedemann’s beers were known throughout the region for their full flavor and consistent high quality. And the Wiedemann brewery’s open-air taproom became a popular gathering place for the community. That’s the time-tested tradition to which the new brewery in St. Bernard is still dedicated. We hope you’ll stop in and taste it for yourself, fresh from the barrel.
