Toledo’s original craft brewery opens central Ohio taproom
POWELL, Ohio (WCMH) — A Toledo taproom boasted as one of Ohio’s oldest craft breweries home to the state’s “most renowned beermakers” has expanded with a second location near Columbus.
Shawnee Station Taproom and Kitchen is now welcoming guests at 6058 Glick Road in Powell after hosting a grand opening on April 4, the restaurant announced on social media. The new taproom is operated by Maumee Bay Brewing Co., a Toledo eatery located at 27 Broadway St. and known as the city’s original craft brewery.

The central Ohio location is home to “best-in-class brewmasters” who are pouring more than 16 creations from Maumee Bay, like the company’s flagship Buckeye Lager inspired by Buckeye Brewery established in 1838. Other favorites include Broadway Blonde Ale and Fallen Timbers Red Ale, one of the first beers brewed when Maumee opened in 1995.

Shawnee also features a menu crated by Travis Hyde, a central Ohio chef who previously served as the executive sous chef of New Albany Country Club and operated Sweet-T’s Southern Style food truck. Offering include flatbreads, handhelds and a series of main dishes, like the blue crab baked gnocchi and the tuna poke bowl.
Maumee Bay is expanding as several other central Ohio breweries have faced turmoil since the COVID-19 pandemic, like Rockmill Brewery in Lancaster that was for sale a foreclosure auction then acquired by a husband and wife who held their wedding at the brewery.
