The Ohio Craft Brewers Association is leading the charge for the first official Columbus Craft Beer Week, taking place May 1-9.
Central Ohio retail establishments, bars, restaurants, growler stations and breweries are invited to participate in Columbus Craft Beer Week by planning unique events that showcase the creative craft beers produced by small, independent breweries. Events can include food and beer pairings, beer dinners, specialty beer releases, tap takeovers, meet the brewer opportunities, educational speakers, or any other type of creative event that celebrates the spirit of craft beer. Those interested in participating can email Mary MacDonald, Executive Director of the Ohio Craft Brewers Association, at mary@ohiocraftbeer.org.
Columbus Craft Beer Week will culminate in an event on Saturday, May 9 entitled “Six One Pour: The Ohio Craft Beer Fest.” The event will be held at Brewmasters Gate in the Brewery District.
