In January 1984, public discussion began related to a "small brewery". This was a hybrid of the previous dinner theater concept and represented visionary planning (at least for Greater Cincinnati) on Jerry Deters' part. In the 5 years since president Jimmy Carter had deregulated home brewing no one had tried the microbrewery concept in the region. The complex was planned to host a microbrewery, an entertainment center, a restaurant, and a festhaus.
