Opportunity or Opportunist? Covington-based, Braxton Brewery plans to unveil a Bavarian Style Select Lager in honor of the former brewery. “We have always looked at the Bavarian Brewing Building as an icon in the City of Covington,” said Jake Rouse, co-founder & CEO of Braxton Brewing Company. Funny, I don't remember anyone from Braxton on the picket lines and speaking to reporters about saving the brewery building and preserving No. Ky brewing heritage. Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati breweries were approached and asked if they would sign on to support the efforts to save the building. Wiedemann, Blank Slate, West 6th, Bad Tom, among a few others, responded immediately. Braxton was not on the list. I have a bad taste in my mouth about this beer that is supposed to honor the Bavarian Brewery and the historic structure when they did not take part in its saving.
