Platform Beer Co.

Platform Beer Co. was a Cleveland craft brewery founded in 2014 by Paul Benner and Justin Carson. It began brewing on a three-barrel system at its taproom at 4125 Lorain Ave. in Ohio City, moved up to a ten-barrel system about six months later, and later added a separate sour beer facility.

Anheuser-Busch bought Platform in 2019. Its Cleveland operations, including the Lorain Ave. taproom, closed in February 2023, and Anheuser-Busch kept three of its beers on the market: Haze Jude, Odd Future and Canalway IPA.
