The two year search has ended for Mason, Ohio-based Sonder Brewing, which will soon open a second taproom location — a new craft beer and kitchen located adjacent to Holtman’s Donuts and across from Topgolf Cincinnati.
“We have searched for the right location for about two years,” states Justin Neff, President and CEO, “and we love the space and overall opportunity that this location offers us.”
Renovations of the space will commence as soon as permits are approved, with an opening planned some time in 2023.
This Sonder Taphaus and Kitchen will have a similar feel to the current Mason location – comfortable, yet casual and family-friendly – but will offer more of an adult bar and event space than their current Mason Taproom and Beer Garden. There will be room for private parties and corporate reservations. The Taphaus will feature Sonder draft options and package-to-go beer plus a well-curated selection of wine, bourbon, and food.
Picking the new location
When Sonder was driving home deliveries during the Covid shutdown, they found that residents in the West Chester area were big fans of Sonder beer. Now, these consumers will be able to enjoy a Sonder experience in their backyard.
Additionally, The West Chester property can be seen from both north and south bound I-75, which helps reinforce the Sonder brand visibility and awareness as they expand distribution further into Ohio and Kentucky.
The Sonder kitchen at West Chester will have a simple, flavorful menu of shareables and seasonal items along with vegan and gluten free options–and, yes, a kids menu. Patrons will be able to easily order food from the bar or from a walk up counter where they will also pick up their orders.
“Our whole team loves the idea of building a food menu that fits the Uniquely Crafted excellence we boast in our beers,” says Director of Strategic Planning & Partnerships Haley Shutter.
