A new adventure for Nocterra Brewing Company begins.
We're excited to announce that Land-Grant Brewing Company has acquired the Nocterra Brewing Company brand and Powell taproom, bringing together two Central Ohio breweries with a shared passion for great b**r, community and creating places where people want to gather.
Our immediate focus is on bringing fresh batches of Nocterra's fan-favorite b**rs back to taps and shelves throughout Central Ohio and reopening the Powell taproom in late November.
And we're kicking things off with something special. This holiday season, Nocterra Powell will transform into an immersive holiday pop-up, complete with festive décor, specialty holiday cocktails, Christmas Ale and heated igloos in the b**r garden.
Looking further ahead, we're planning a larger investment in the Powell property, with renovations anticipated to begin in January 2027. Our vision is to build on everything that makes Nocterra special while bringing Land-Grant's experience in hospitality, creative programming and destination-driven spaces to the next chapter of the taproom.
Most importantly, we want to recognize Nocterra's founders, Bryan Duncan, Lori Duncan and Bruce Vivian, for the incredible brand and community they've built since opening in 2019. Building a brewery takes tremendous passion, hard work and perseverance, particularly in today's challenging craft b**r landscape. We have an enormous amount of respect for what they've created and are grateful for the opportunity to carry it forward.
Nocterra is still Nocterra. Its identity, its b**rs and its connection to the outdoors and the Powell community are what make it special. We're not here to change that. We're here to invest in its future.
We're excited about what's ahead and can't wait to welcome everyone back to Powell.
