Vito’s Cafe Introduces Red Ear Brewing Company

August 24, 2009 in Restaurants

Red_Ear_Brewing_Co.jpgGreater Cincinnati has a new brewpub – and its not from a place you might expect. Vito’s Cafe in Ft. Thomas has just announced their in-house brewery operation, Red Ear Brewing Company. 

Maybe more well known for their Italian cuisine and singing servers, the restaurant is starting its brewery operation one batch at a time. Brewmaster Matt Wehmeyer, son of owners Mary and Vito Ciepiel’s is starting out with Endless Summer Ale, a seasonal beer that will give way in autumn to what Matt describes as “something more bold.” 
In the name of research, we might just have to go and try it.
