OUR STORY
Old Bridge Brewing Company is a family-owned brewery and gathering place rooted in the heart of historic McConnelsville, Ohio. Located at 281 West Main Street, directly across from the iconic old bridge that inspired its name, our brewery brings together community, craftsmanship, and bold flavor in a beautifully restored century-old building.
What started as a retirement hobby for Head Brewer, Dean Ponchak, has grown into a vibrant destination for locals and visitors alike. After years of homebrewing and two years renovating a 1919 structure that once served as an auto repair shop, the Ponchak family opened Old Bridge Brewing Company in June 2020, right in time for the summer patio season.
Today, our taproom features handcrafted beer brewed on-site with both a 15-barrel system and smaller experimental brewhouse, giving us the flexibility to offer a wide variety of styles, from classic ales and stouts to seasonal small-batch brews.
More than just great beer, Old Bridge Brewing Company is a community space. Whether you’re stopping in for a pint or simply enjoying time with friends on our patio, we aim to create a welcoming and memorable atmosphere for all.
"More than just great beer."
