Plan
As of press time, we have 445 small and independent breweries in Ohio, 339 of which are members of the Ohio Craft Brewers Association and listed in this publication. As the industry matures, we continue to take on new challenges together. A decade of increasing demand for craft beer has exposed small breweries to a critical obstacle to market growth: the Ohio Alcoholic Beverages Franchise Act of 1974.
Mary MacDonald, Executive Director
Since the end of Prohibition, wholesale distributors have been responsible for moving beer from breweries to retail outlets like bars, restaurants and grocery stores. When the Franchise Act was created in 1974, only 116 breweries existed in the U.S. These large breweries sold their beer in Ohio through about 200 family-owned distributors, often exerting undue pressure on distributors if their demands were not met. Distributors organized and asked Ohio’s legislators for relief to protect their small businesses. Lawmakers responded with the franchise law, establishing automatically renewing contracts and effectively keeping breweries “married” to their distributors in perpetuity.
Fifty years later, the brewing industry looks nothing like it did in 1974. Distributors in Ohio have consolidated through mergers and acquisitions, leaving only a few dozen large and powerful companies remaining. Meanwhile, local breweries have become a part of everyday life in hundreds of communities around the state. Distributors have used the franchise law originally meant to check the power of large breweries to trap independent brewers in lifetime contracts and shield themselves from accountability to their small suppliers.
Craft breweries are now the small businesses asking Ohio’s legislators for relief from an unfair system that threatens their livelihood. We have legislation in both the Ohio House (HB 306) and Senate (SB 138) that would enable our breweries to negotiate fair and enforceable contracts with their distributors outside of the confines of franchise law.
Please help us protect Ohio’s craft breweries. Contact your legislators and ask them to support franchise law reform at OhioCraftBeer.org/freedom.

On the surface, the tasks of molding young minds and mixing malt and hops couldn’t seem more different — what could the schoolhouse possibly have in common with the brewhouse?
By Leslie Basalla-McCafferty
Below: The sta at Southern Ohio Brewing are always eager to educate guests. Below inset: Ghost Tree Brewing’s Dan Blatt.
AAcross Ohio, former teachers are trading the grade book for a mash paddle and nding a new calling in craft breweries. Some current teachers are even turning their love of beer into a ful lling side hustle. These teachers-turned-brewers say moving from classroom to taproom isn’t as giant a leap as you might think.
“Both professions require long hours, attention to detail, problemsolving abilities and a passion for their respective crafts,” says Dan Blatt, co-owner and brewer at Ghost Tree Brewing in Amherst and current high school special education teacher. “I love both teaching and brewing and wouldn’t change anything about the work I’ve chosen.”
Whether it was a homebrewing hobby that got serious or simply needing a change of scenery that brought them into the beer world, current and former teachers agree that working in a brewery o ers unending opportunities to educate guests, sta and themselves.
“My favorite person that comes into the brewery isn’t the person who can tell you the hops that are in all the beers — it’s the person who says, ‘This is my rst time in a craft brewery, and I don’t know what to do,’” says James Williams, retired high school health teacher/athletic trainer and co-owner of Beavercreek’s Southern Ohio Brewing. “That’s my favorite customer because I can help them nd something that they like and help them grow.”

Derek Cunningham, retired high school economics teacher and co-owner of Carey Brewing Station in Carey, agrees. “Once a teacher, always a teacher,” he says. “The one-on-one interactions about relating our story and explaining how our beers are produced are essential to the marketing of the business.”
Skills brought over from the classroom to the brewery extend well beyond the typical tasting and tour fare, though. “The ability to think on my feet and problem-solve has been crucial,” says Nicole Heupel, co-owner and event coordinator at N.E.W. Ales in Middletown and 7th grade language arts and social studies teacher. “Just as in the classroom
when unexpected situations arise, I’ve learned to adapt quickly and come up with innovative solutions, whether it’s troubleshooting a brewing issue or adjusting our production schedule on the y.”
On the ip side, she says, working in the brewery has made her a better teacher. “The experience of managing all aspects of our taproom and behind-the-scenes operations has been immensely bene cial to me in the classroom,” she says. “I’ve learned to be more con dent in my abilities and to recognize that I’m capable of far more than I may have initially realized.”
— JAKE LEES Marketing Producer, Combustion Brewing
For those who have transitioned entirely from education to the brewing industry, however, it’s no regrets. “Teaching was incredibly challenging,” says Heather Lange, co-owner of DankHouse Brewing in Newark and former elementary and middle school teacher. “If it is not your passion, it will wear on you. Running a business and brewing also has its major challenges, but it’s more of a passion for me, so the workload doesn’t seem as tiring.”
Maybe, says Jake Lees, marketing producer at Combustion Brewing and former gifted intervention specialist and teacher, the end goals of teaching and brewery work aren’t that di erent. “When I worked within the school, I worked for the community, and now, being in the brewing industry, I help to create and sustain community.”
Besides, he adds, “Without the massive support of teachers, many breweries would’ve gone out of business long ago.”
Cooking with craft beer can be just as rewarding as drinking it! The wide variety of beer styles lends the beverage to an equally diverse number of recipes.
By Nick Dekker
Alex Horn has led the kitchen at UnHitched Brewing Company in his hometown of Louisville, Ohio, since early 2023. “I really like the brewery scene — I’m a big beer nerd,” he says. “I like the kitchen scene at breweries. It’s less competitive and a lot more collaborative.”
Horn draws on a lot of Mexican and Asian inspired avors to build a scratch-made
menu that complements beers from brewer Garret Conley. His food ranges from smash burgers and pizza to hearthred pita with farmer’s cheese and Serbian pimento dip with Korean gochujang sauce. Not surprisingly, he incorporates beer and even spent grains into many of his recipes, so we asked him for his best advice.
1. IT’S ALL ABOUT BALANCE
Keep in mind that beer’s avor will change when you cook with it, Horn says. “If you overcook beer, it gets incredibly bitter,” he adds. “You need to be mindful of balancing that out. You’ve got to add some sweetness if you want that bitterness.”
2.
If you’re mixing beers into recipes, try something with less impactful avor rst. “Obviously, beer is great for beer cheese or beer-battered sh — you just throw it straight in,” Horn says. “We usually go for something lighter like a Kölsch or lager.”
3. INCORPORATE BEER INTO LOW-AND-SLOW RECIPES
Horn says beer works very well when imparting avors to dishes with an extended cook time. “Short rib, birria, anything low and slow,” he suggests. “We’ll usually throw in a porter. It incorporates a lot of the rich, malty avor.” Horn says you can easily replace any stock with beer; he recommends a 50/50 or 60/40 beer to stock ratio. At the brewery, he’ll use UnHitched’s Wet Fang saison — a little grassier and sweeter — to caramelize onions for his beer onion dip.
4. BEER IS A GOOD CATALYST FOR BAKING
Horn incorporates beer into the dough for his oven- red pizzas. The beer can help jumpstart the dough while adding complex avors. “We’ve had pretty good success with most of the beer styles,” he says. “We typically go for something on the lighter side; I’ve done red ales, amber ales and an ESB.”
Caramelized Beer Onions for use in Beer Onion Dip
Ingredients
3–4 tablespoons combined olive oil and vegetable oil
4 cups yellow onions, diced small
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
16 ounces UnHitched Wet Fang saison
Directions
1. In a small to medium saucepan, heat blended oil over medium heat.
2. Add diced onion, salt and sugar. Cook until onions are translucent. Stir frequently to prevent scorching or sticking.
3. Add half the beer and keep stirring. Allow it to evaporate while onions begin caramelizing.
4. Add remaining beer and cook onions to about half of their original volume, until all liquid evaporates.
Ingredients
2 pounds labneh (strained yogurt)
2 cups mayonnaise
2 cups caramelized beer onions
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1. Combine all measured ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2. Thoroughly whisk together until the dip is uniform.
3. Refrigerate until chilled.
4. Serve with chips. Makes about 6–8 cups.
Adding a taproom or food service is a natural expansion for a brewery, but what happens when the brewery is the extension of an existing business? Turns out, many breweries around the state have taken a winding path to existence. By
Kevin J. Gray
Some expansions seem obvious. Upside Brewing opened in 2016 as a nano-brewery attached to J&G Pizza Palace. The familyowned pizza business has been a mainstay of downtown Sylvania since 1971 and extending to a nano-brewery intuitively connected food and beverage. Melissa Dallas, co-owner, notes that the food o ering was crucial. “Food drives people to and keeps people at your establishment,” she says. Upside continues to expand, opening the adjacent Dallas Taproom in late 2023.
Mentor Brewing Company also represents an intuitive o shoot. “Mentor Brewing Company was born out of our love of craft beer. It was a natural progression for us,” explain co-owners Rick Mack and Brian Seelinger. The duo founded The Brew Mentor, a home brewing and wine making retail shop in 2010 and then in 2021 added the brewery, “with the intent of o ering great craft beer and wines, all with a sense of community and friendship,” says Mack. What started as brewing pints for customers to sip on while shopping has exploded into a full-on bar, now celebrating its third anniversary.
Sometimes breweries turn a single-use space into a destination. Red Wagon Brewing in Columbia Station is an o shoot of a family farm. “We really wanted to create a familyfriendly atmosphere and destination where people could come and enjoy more than just the farmers market,” says Shari Ross, co-owner. The taproom sits adjacent to the on-site market, ice cream and bakery. This setup has worked well and has led to another o shoot, Four Paws Brewing, which shares a brewer and the space. Red Wagon’s beers are more traditional, while Four Paws are “more creative and ‘funky’ styles of beer,” Ross explains.
4KD Crick (pronounced like “forked crick”) in De ance is also part of a larger destination. The brewery, which opened in 2016, is part of “The Compound,” anchored by Eagle Rock Golf Club. The complex includes the brewery, Sweetwater Chophouse and Fired Stone Tavern, giving golfers and non-golfers alike a reason to visit.
Larry Wilson, owner and brewer at Biker BrewHouse, was an employee at Youngstown Harley-Davidson when he decided to open his brewery. Though the two businesses share only a landlord, there is a lot of crossover, explains Wilson. “Both craft beer drinkers and Harley riders have big followings, and I wanted them to meet. The dealership was on board because now they are truly a destination. About 65 percent of our clientele have never ridden a motorcycle, and the rest are riders who have opened their palate to the wonderful world of craft beer.”
Carillon Brewing Company pairs beer and history. The brewing museum is part of a historical park in Dayton. “Any museum could toss together a brewing demonstration, but we wanted to actually produce alcohol and a nal product guests could enjoy on site or take home,” explains Brady Kress, CEO of Dayton History. “We picked the 1850s to interpret and designed a historically inspired brewhouse to provide as much visibility into the process, materials and equipment as possible.” The results? The most comprehensive understanding of the historic brewing process in the country.

Redefining the dining experience by emphasizing “brew” over “pub.”
Ohio’s craft brewing industry generated an estimated $1.27 billion of economic activity and supported more than 12,000 jobs in the state.
The following data summarizes the impact of the Ohio craft brewing industry operations in 2022 on the state of Ohio.
The 179 brewers that responded to the survey gave approximately $2.4 million to charitable causes and donated an estimated 22,000 volunteer hours in 2022.
Women came together to share their light at the Ohio brewing industry’s inaugural Women’s Summit — Eclipsing Stereotypes: Women Shine in Ohio Craft Beer — this past April.
By Molly Hammond
A Sunday spent at Columbus’ Seventh Son Brewing Co., or any Ohio brewery, is a day well spent. Around 200 individuals came together on Sunday, April 7, to celebrate women in the brewing industry and discuss the stereotypes and roadblocks that women run into in the industry every day. The event, hosted by the Ohio Craft Brewers Association, was a day dedicated to celebrating the women making waves in the craft brewing industry.
Brewing experts from Bell Tower Brewing Company, Thunderwing Brewing, Urban Artifact, Penguin City Brewing Company, Boss ChicknBeer, HiHO Brewing Company and Homestead Beer Company took part in productive conversations about moments and experiences where they have had to look gender stereotypes in the industry in the face.
Individuals were invited to mingle with other attendees and leaders in the industry while sipping on beers from some of Ohio’s nest breweries. From Olentangy River Brewing’s Flirty Flamingo shandy to Urban Artifact’s A Girl and Her Dog tart, glasses were almost never empty as everyone was eager to try each of the 18 beers on tap, brewed by Ohio women.
“It was powerful connecting with women from all over the state and tasting so many varieties of beer,” says Sarah Jackson, head brewer at Railroad Brewing Company in Avon. “Women shine in creative settings. Being able to combine a little bit of science and a whole lot of passion with our creativity shined out the best of the brewing industry.”
With powerful insight from female brewers, it’s clear that, despite progress made in recent
years, women continue to face stereotypes and challenges that they must overcome to excel in this traditionally male-dominated eld. Many of the women on the panel cited being asked multiple times in their career to “speak to the man in charge,” a question routinely answered with “I am the person in charge.”
The craft brewing scene has seen a signi cant rise in women’s involvement over the last decade. With more women coming together to have important discussions, they have actively created an inclusive, safe space for not only female brewers, but also minorities and members of the LGBTQ+ community. In doing so, women are breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for aspiring brewers to learn and grow.
The growing presence of women in brewing is gradually changing the narrative surrounding breweries. The achievements of this generation of women brewers will serve as inspiration for future generations and encourage a more diverse and inclusive craft beer community. It’s important to challenge the notion that brewing is a man’s domain. By recognizing and celebrating each woman’s achievements, we can foster a more diverse and vibrant industry that values passion, knowledge and innovation over stereotypes.
“I have a strong belief that beer brings people together,” says Jennifer Hermann, co-founder and head brewer at Bell Tower Brewing Company in Kent. “Beer was always designed to be served in a gathering space. To see everyone here enjoying what we’ve created makes my job worthwhile.”
At the forefront of overcoming gender stereotypes in the industry is the Pink Boots Society, an organization aiming to assist, inspire and encourage women and non-binary individuals in the alcoholic beverage industry. One of its most powerful initiatives is its Collaboration Brew Day, a movement in which women brewers work together to develop recipes and experiment with brews, providing a safe space for women to collaborate and network with one another. The event is the organization’s largest fundraising event, supporting and funding scholarships for women and non-binary individuals pursuing careers in the craft beer industry and showcasing the immense talent within the industry.

With more than 430 craft breweries, Ohio is one of the top states in the country for craft beer lovers. Using the Ohio on Tap app, beer fans can brewery hop (see what we did there?) around the state, filling out the Ohio On Tap passport for fun prizes and bragging rights. Just want to focus on a corner of the state? Here are seven regional ale trails linking some of Ohio’s top breweries.
The Gem City sometimes lives in the shadow of Ohio’s larger cities, but Dayton has a thriving beer scene of its own. Following the Dayton Ale Trail, fans will visit more than 30 breweries around the Miami Valley, including heavy hitters like Warped Wing and Yellow Springs and hidden gems like Fifth Street Brewpub and Full Circle Brewgarden. Complete your 2024 Dayton Ale Trail Passport and get a branded backpack.
While Toledo is the hub of this trail in northwest Ohio, the breweries on the 419 Ale Trail extend much farther a eld. From Twin Oast on the beautiful shore of Lake Erie to creative False Chord in Findlay to storied Maumee Bay in the heart of Toledo, this ale trail tours a corner of the state often overlooked. Multiple prizes are available for completing the trail, and nishers are entered for a grand prize each year as well.
Centered around Akron, the Summit Brew Path in the northeastern corner of the state o ers a chance at some serious rewards for devotees. Visit 14 participating breweries and be entered to win $250; visit 18 and be entered to win $1,000. In either case, you’re entered to win tickets to the Summer Brew Path Bash invitational beer fest. Along the way, you’ll visit excellent breweries like Akronym in Akron and HiHO in Cuyahoga Falls.
The state capital has a lively beer scene lled with award-winning breweries, and the associated ale trail allows visitors to check out around three dozen of them, including Wolf’s Ridge, Seventh Son and Land-Grant. Visiting all 31 participating breweries (there are additional breweries included outside the city, but they aren’t required for completion) earns a T-shirt, but you can get a custom Columbus Ale Trail sticker just by visiting 10.
Ohio’s longest regional ale trail (by number of participating breweries) starts rewarding your e orts right away: with your very rst stamp, you get a Cleveland Brewery Passport sticker. As you continue to earn points by visiting breweries like Great Lakes (one of Ohio’s oldest and largest craft breweries) and immigrant-owned Pulpo Beer, you can redeem them for prizes like baseball caps and pint glasses.
South of Cleveland, Medina County o ers a brewery passport of its own. While the trail is short — eight breweries, including Ignite and Wrecking Crew — it classes things up with a certi cate of completion for anyone who visits them all.
Just south of Columbus, Fair eld County plays host to the Route 33 Brew Trail. This scenic path takes participants through the rolling farmland of southern Ohio, stopping at six breweries along the way, from cozy and charming Double Edge in Lancaster to innovative Outerbelt just outside Columbus. Complete the trail and get a custom pint glass.
Completing the Ohio On Tap passport isn’t easy, but it sure is fun.
Just ask Kevin Glass and Maria Gonzalez-Glass, the married team who have finished it twice. While you don’t have to visit every Ohio brewery to complete the passport (bonuses and special events help), it still takes a lot of planning.
“Maria handles the logistics,” says Kevin. “She has a spreadsheet and tells us where we need to go. It’s been one of the most fun things we do. It’s like our side gig.”
Michael Hollis has completed the passport three times, and says the process has exposed him to a lot of places he might never have known about otherwise. “There are a lot of great breweries in the state, you just have to go find them,” he says. “Wooly Pig is a great one out in the middle of nowhere.”
In addition to recommending the Ohio on Tap app to find your next brewery, Hollis gives perhaps the best advice of all for completing the full passport: “Get a designated driver.”
All around the world, music is embraced as a source of comfort and community. Ohio breweries are tapping into that source, serving up live entertainment to draw a crowd and keep them coming back.
By Jon Sicotte
KKevin Loftis realized about ve years ago that each brewery has to gure out how to di erentiate itself to draw people in and keep them coming back. For Mother Stewart’s Brewing Company in Spring eld, Loftis says they wanted to utilize their brewery as a community event space and music venue.
Revel in the music with friends and pups at Mother Stewart’s outdoor amphitheater.
“We’ve been leaning into that a little more every single year, just di erentiating ourselves,” he says. “Experience is important. Give people a new and good experience each time and they’ll keep coming.” With an amphitheater outside to complement its indoor stage, Mother Stewart’s has brought in Grammy Award winners along with local and regional acts, with most shows being free.
Urban Artifact in Cincinnati is more than just a live music venue: the brewery has Radio Artifact, a live recording soundstage. “It is perhaps the bestsounding room in the region,” says Scott Hand, chief brand o cer. “It’s acoustically designed to be the equivalent of a recording and television studio.” Radio Artifact is capable of not only showcasing live music intimately to an audience but also recording, capturing and streaming it. “The vibe is a more underground blend between NPR’s Tiny Desk concerts and Austin City Limits,” Hand says.
EXPERIENCE IS IMPORTANT. GIVE PEOPLE A NEW AND GOOD EXPERIENCE EACH TIME AND THEY’LL KEEP COMING.

Mother Stewart’s Brewing Company
Live music has historically been a good draw at Zanesville’s Weasel Boy explains president Jay Wince. “We have o ered free live music to our patrons every Saturday for over 15 years!” he says. The brewery features mostly solo or duo singers and songwriters playing blues, folk, jazz, classic covers and more. A highlight for this summer will be a visit from San Francisco’s Thrown Out Bones, where they will host a ‘Bandaroke’ in which patrons sign up to sing with the musicians.
Annual events featuring live tunes draw in new folks to Land-Grant in Columbus says creative director Walt Keys. Jeni’s Strawberry Jam over Memorial Day weekend is a local favorite, as is the brewery’s annual anniversary in September. Events like Salve! a Brazilian-themed dance party — keep people coming back regularly. “That event may get you out to visit our brewery for the rst time and hopefully that translates to them becoming a fan,” Keys says.
Dozens of other breweries are turning up the volume, too. Forest City Brewery in Cleveland hosts live music most weekends with something for everyone from big band swing to classic blues to indie rock. Fretboard Brewing now stocks the calendar at two locations — Blue Ash and Norwood with happy hour music series and rotating regional acts playing rock, country and beyond. Check out your local breweries to see what’s on the calendar.
