Wander into Cincinnati's Family-Friendly Brewery!

Jason Brewer (yes that’s his real last name) was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. He attended McNicholas High School before pursuing his higher education at the University of Cincinnati. At UC, he studied marketing, earning both a bachelor’s and master’s degree.

It was during his university years that Jason’s passion for craft beer ignited at the Cincinnati Beerfest, where his taste buds first encountered the bliss of Hopslam. His academic journey also intersected with his newfound interest in brewing when he spearheaded a newsletter program at Listermann Brewing (LBC) as part of his coursework. This experience paved the way for him to join LBC part-time post-graduation, initially part time in the homebrew store before eventually ascending to the role of General Manager. Under his leadership, the team garnered multiple accolades, including the prestigious Best of Show at FoBAB (Festival of Barrel Aged Beers).

In 2021, Jason embarked on his entrepreneurial journey, setting his sights on establishing his own brewery. Parting ways with LBC, he sought a location closer to his new (and old) home in Anderson Township. He discovered a bar called the Game (previously O’Neal’s) that was considering subleasing their space. When Jason saw the space (and the adjacent one) he instantly knew it would be home to Wandering Monsters. Construction commenced in February 2023 and the doors opened July 6, 2023.

Jason lives in Anderson with his beautiful wife, Nikki, and their two young sons.
