Nocterra Brewing Co. · Powell, Ohio
EMBARK ON A NEW ADVENTURE WITH US
A NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS.
Big things are on the horizon, and we’re excited to bring you along for the journey. Every new adventure comes with a few questions, so we’ve put together the lay of the land to help you navigate what’s ahead. This is just the beginning, and there’s plenty more to come.
Every new adventure comes with a few questions
THE LAY OF THE LAND
ACQUISITION + BRAND IDENTITY
Did Land-Grant buy Nocterra?
Yes! Land-Grant is taking over the Nocterra Brewing Company brand and Powell taproom. We’re excited to continue what Nocterra started and help bring its beers and taproom experience back to the Central Ohio community.
Is Nocterra going to become another Land-Grant location?
Nope! Nocterra will continue to operate under its own name and brand identity. While we’ll bring some of our experience and ideas to the Powell location, the goal is to preserve what makes Nocterra special, not turn it into another Land-Grant.
Are you changing the Nocterra name or logo?
We have no plans to rebrand Nocterra as Land-Grant. Maintaining Nocterra’s established identity is an important part of this transition.
Why did Land-Grant decide to take over Nocterra?
We’ve always respected what Nocterra built in Powell, from its beers to its community and outdoor-inspired identity. We saw an opportunity to carry that legacy forward and bring our experience in brewing, hospitality, and events to the next chapter.
Will Nocterra and Land-Grant still be separate businesses?
They’ll be under shared ownership, but will continue to have distinct brands, experiences, and marketing channels. You’ll still be able to follow each brewery separately for its own beers, events, and updates.
Is Land-Grant taking over the Audubon location, too?
Our focus is on continuing the Nocterra brand and bringing the Powell taproom back to life! The Audubon location isn’t part of this transition, but we’re excited about what’s ahead for Nocterra in Powell.
POWELL TAPROOM + REOPENING
When is Nocterra reopening?
We’re working through the transition and getting everything ready to welcome guests back to Powell! We don’t have an official reopening date to share just yet, but we’ll be announcing more details in the coming weeks. Keep an eye on @nocterrabrewing for updates.
Will the Powell taproom look the same?
We’re planning to preserve the character and atmosphere people love about Nocterra while introducing some thoughtful updates along the way. We’re excited to share more as those plans come together!
Will the beer garden and outdoor spaces be reopening?
The outdoor experience has always been a huge part of what makes Nocterra special, and it’s something we’re excited to build on. We’re still working through the details of reopening and will share updates as plans are finalized.
Will you still have food at Nocterra?
We’re still finalizing food plans for the Powell taproom. We’ll share more details on what guests can expect as we get closer to reopening.
Will Nocterra still be dog-friendly and family-friendly?
We know those are important parts of the Nocterra experience! We’re reviewing the plans and policies for the reopened taproom and will share confirmed details ahead of opening.
Can I book a private event at Nocterra?
We’re not ready to announce private event bookings just yet, but we plan to share more information about the taproom’s offerings and availability as we get closer to reopening.
EXPERIENCES
Is Wintergarden coming to Nocterra?
That’s the plan! We’re excited to bring elements of Land-Grant’s Wintergarden experience to Powell. We’re still working through the specifics, but we can’t wait to share more about what we have planned!
Will there be curling, igloos, or ice bumper cars at Nocterra?
We’re exploring which Wintergarden experiences will make the most sense for the Powell property. Nothing specific to announce just yet, but stay tuned to @nocterrabrewing!
When can we book Wintergarden experiences at Nocterra?
Reservations aren’t available yet. We’ll announce which experiences are coming to Powell, along with booking information and dates, once everything is finalized.
Will Nocterra still have its regular events, like trivia and run club?
Community events have always been an important part of Nocterra, and we’re excited to build on that! We’re still finalizing the programming calendar, but stay tuned to @nocterrabrewing!
Are you going to turn Nocterra into a mini Land-Grant?
Not at all! We want Nocterra to continue feeling like Nocterra. We’re excited to bring some of our experience with events and seasonal programming to Powell, but everything we introduce will be designed with Nocterra’s identity in mind.
HIRING
Will the former Nocterra employees be coming back?
We’re still working through staffing plans for the Powell taproom. We know the team was a huge part of what made Nocterra special, and we’ll share hiring information as plans are finalized.
Will you be hiring at the Powell location?
We expect to have more information about staffing as we get closer to reopening. Keep an eye on @nocterrabrewing for any future hiring announcements!
GIFT CARDS, MEMBERSHIPS, EXISTING EVENTS
I still have a Nocterra gift card. Will you honor it?
Absolutely! All existing Nocterra gift cards will be honored when we reopen. We’ve already transferred them into our system, so they’ll be ready to use as soon as we open our doors. No additional steps are needed on your end!
What happens to my Order of the Moth membership?
We’re excited to share that we’ll be continuing the Order of the Moth community! Existing members should have already received an email from us with additional details about their membership and what’s next.
Interested in joining the Order of the Moth? More information will be coming soon! In the meantime, follow us on Instagram at @nocterrabrewing for the latest updates.
I had an event booked at Nocterra before it closed. What happens now?
While previous event bookings won’t automatically transfer over as part of the transition, we’d love to see what we can make happen. Would you mind sharing a few more details about your event, including the date and what you had planned? We’d be happy to explore what’s possible!
Still have a question? Get in touch or follow @nocterrabrewing.
