Downtown Troy

Brewery Planned for Downtown Troy

By

Moeller Brew Barn in Maria Stein, just celebrated their 3rd anniversary at their original location in May, and now they’ve announced they’ll be opening a second location in downtown Troy. In the Spring of 2019, Moeller Brew Barn will open a location at 214 West Main Street. The approximately 8,000 square feet building will offer on-site handcrafted beer and locally sourced food menu.

The conversion of the building, built in 1919, will provide seating for up to 170 people and space for 1,800 barrels of craft beer annually. This establishment is expected to create 25 jobs.

“We’re excited to expand the Moeller Brew Barn brand with another brewing location in Troy. We’ll get to build our brewing expertise, continue to foster creativity for new products, and offer even more fresh local craft beer!” -Nick Moeller, Owner/Operator.

While you’re waiting for the Troy location to be built, take a road trip to the original location at 8016 Marion Dr. in Maria Stein, Ohio, it’s about an hour north of Dayton. With a dozen beers on tap, you’re sure to find some unusual brews, like their Wally Post Red, a malt-and-rye spice beer named in honor of local baseball legend Wally Post. “It was the most popular when it came out, and the popularity has stayed,” says Moeller.
