Excited to share the newest issue of Movers & Makers Magazine. It's the last of 2025 and boy, is it loaded.

This edition hits hard on street-level activation and local retail:
• 3CDC’s Christy Samad on bringing new life to downtown Cincinnati and the Over-the-Rhine.
• OTR originals, Carolyn and Mike Deininger, owners of MiCA 12/v, on what it took to stake a claim early in the neighborhood.
• The Cincinnati Contemporary Jazz Orchestra’s bold, reimagined “Nutcracker” and its new recording.

We also dropped our biggest Datebook of the year – 48 events capping off a season of serious generosity. That puts us over 600 events covered in 2025, including M&M’s own 30th anniversary celebration. It’s been a year full of nonprofits, arts groups and community champions making this region shine.

Issue’s live. Take a look.

Look forward to sharing a whole lot more great stories in the year(s) ahead.

We are very deeply saddened to announce the upcoming closure of Taft's Ale House. We've made the painfully difficult decision to close our beautiful flagship location after 8 years of serving the OTR community. Our final day of operation will be Saturday, November 25, 2023.

The pandemic, a significant decline in tourism, and large increases in material goods costs have contributed greatly, but ultimately, we could not indemnify for the significant loss in sales since Covid began. We have self-sustained daily operations for the past couple of years, and it's clear our business model is unable to financially support the location in this new landscape.

Our main concern right now is our Ale House team's future. At the core of Taft's Ale House has always been our incredible staff. Their hard work, commitment and cheer brought to the Ale House and OTR will be greatly missed. We've given everyone notice of the closure and will pay severance to each individual employee.

We're offering employment opportunities wherever we have them, at our Brewpourium locations and contract beverage business. Additionally, we've compiled local hospitality job openings that have been shared. If you know of a favorite local bar or restaurant that is hiring, please share with us. We'd love to refer our talented team members, who, in our opinion, really are the best in the city.

Taft's Brewpourium Cincinnati and Columbus will continue to operate as normal. We want to wholeheartedly thank our loyal patrons, friends, OTR and the city of Cincinnati for all the love and support over the years. Prior to our closing, please stop in and enjoy a pint with us at Taft's Ale House, as we give a final sorrowful, heartfelt goodbye.
