PROJECT 1: MICROBREWERY

SPRING 2023

CONTEXT

A few weeks after Woodstock, on September 19, 1969, Jim Tarbell opened Ludlow Garage as a concert hall. It was only open for 17 months but this venue featured progressive rock bands and popular names like Iggy Pop, Santana, The Allman Brothers, Alice Cooper and so many more! The Ludlow Garage transformed Cincinnati's youth culture. This brewery embraces the rich history of the Ludlow Garage. Tours are offered where you can learn about the brewing process and history of Ludlow.

BRANDING & IMPACT

MAKE BEER NOT WAR

Our beer was made for every individual from every background! We want everyone to come and enjoy the Ludlow experience. One of our beers, the "Ludlow Lager", was created to celebrateourrichmusichistoryandthe proceeds go to aspiring musicians (scholarships, instruments, lessons, etc.)!

To combat environmental impacts of this brewery, we have implemented sustainability practices such as: compost and recycling bins for waste insteadoftrashcans,spentgrainsare recycledforlocalfarmers,wastewater and cans are recycled, and our beer can only be found in the Cincinnati area to cut down on shipping emissions!

They pay special attention to their bodily health as they have to be in top shape for their careers. They met in New York City 5 years ago and finally they decided to move in together. Esin teaches dance to underprivileged children at the local community center. They both love entertaining and having their friends over for dinner parties when they have the time. FALL 2022
