Cartridge Brewing: One for the History Books

Published: Oct. 13, 2022, 2 p.m.

Have you ever rounded a corner and then stopped dead in your tracks? That's almost what we did when driving to Cartridge Brewing in Maineville, just outside of Cincinnati, Ohio. Located in an old munitions factory, the twisty road leading to Cartridge is one for the books, but when you round that final turn and your eyes rest upon two magnificent spires towering above this massive once-bustling-now-refurbished factory, yeah - it's a sight to behold. Especially when it houses a brewery.

Meet Adam Mills, Head Brewer at Cartridge Brewing

Adam thought the same thing. The history behind the building that houses Cartridge Brewing was one of the reasons he moved his family of eight from Michigan to Ohio. Well, that, and he was excited to take on the position of head brewer, where he could brew the beers he loved to brew.

Adam's excitement for brewing stems from the technical aspects of the science behind brewing. It is because of that, when visiting Cartridge Brewing you'll be awed by the impressive structure of the both the building and the beers.

His story, while not one quite for the history books as much as the building holds, it is still one of history, so to say. Straight out of high school, he headed to college. Graduating with a history degree, for the next 10 years he taught at-risk kids. While teaching he fell in love with homebrewing. We like to joke that his students drove him to drink, but we'll let him tell you the actual truth of that story.

Join us as we chat history, teaching, brewing, and of course beer! Oh, and did we mention that Adam is also a YouTube star? He is. Not one to ever stop learning or teaching, he created his YouTube channel to share resources, ideas, recipes, and more. Meant for novices and pros alike, this is a brewing channel you won't want to miss. So, when done listening to his story here, head on over to Adam Makes Beer. This day is going to be one for the history books!
