Nestled in the historic Peters Cartridge Factory, a former ammunition plant, Cartridge Brewing is more than just a brewery. Known for its unique blend of industrial charm and modern hospitality, Cartridge Brewing offers a memorable setting for private events of all kinds. We sat down with their team to learn what sets this venue apart, how they manage ever-changing event trends, and why guests keep coming back for both the beer and the experience.

A Conversation with Amanda Kantor, Marketing Manager at Cartridge Brewing

Venue Name: Cartridge Brewing

Locations: Maineville, OH

Interviewee: Amanda Kantor

Title: Marketing Manager

1. Tell me a little about Cartridge Brewing: what's unique about it?
"Cartridge Brewing opened in 2020 in the historic Peters Cartridge Factory along the Little Miami River. Our venue is a blend of industrial character and modern charm with cement walls, exposed brick, and original architectural elements that  are paired with thoughtful, contemporary design. The result is a space that feels rooted in history but designed for community, celebration, and craft beer appreciation."

2. What is a fun fact that people should know about your venue?
"The Peters Cartridge Factory was an ammunition plant from the 1800s that sat abandoned for decades before being brought back to life. Today, it’s home to our brewery and renovated residential apartments. For a deeper dive into its past, guests can add a guided tour of the brewery and building to their event for a unique, behind-the-scenes experience."

3. What are some changes you've seen in your industry lately? What are you looking forward to about the future?
"We’re seeing more demand for events that bring people together across generations. At Cartridge, we’ve become a hub for local celebrations from high school team parties and sweet sixteens to 21st birthdays and big 4-0s. It’s exciting to host events where families feel comfortable, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the space feels rooted in the local community."

4. How long has Cartridge Brewing been putting on events?
"We have been hosting events since opening in 2020, but over the last two years, we’ve really expanded our offerings with the launch of a new catering menu and customizable event packages. It’s made it easier than ever to plan everything from casual celebrations to full-scale private events."

5. How long have you managed events at your venue?
"I’ve been involved with events at Cartridge since 2022, when our team stepped in to lead the company. From day one, we’ve had strong leadership and a committed staff, many of whom have been here through key transitions. Every event is a team effort, with experienced managers, chefs, bartenders, and servers all working together to make each experience seamless and memorable."

6. Do you have a favorite event that you've hosted? Or a favorite event type?
"Some of our favorite events are the ones that bring the community together. We’ve hosted chamber mixers to connect local businesses, and when Kings High School’s volleyball team won the state championship, our whole team was proudly repping branded t-shirts as we hosted their ring ceremony. Moments like that, where families, students, and neighbors come together to celebrate, are what make events at Cartridge truly special."

7. Anything else you would like to add?
"Our outdoor patio, glowing with cozy string lights, is perfect for relaxed gatherings. Inside, the space can be split between a casual bar area and an industrial dining room beside the brewery tanks, giving guests the flexibility to enjoy the vibe that suits their event best."
