Grew up in Lancaster running out to the mill as teenagers. Now as an adult I am so happy to see the beautiful property thriving and becoming a destination. As a craft beer gal I am so proud of my hometown.
Rockmill makes some of my husband’s favorite beers. He’d be so excited to attend this event!
I love the beers from Rockville, and they go great with a historic race like the Kentucky Derby!
A Rockmill outing is always a relaxing mini-escape from the city for a few hours!
I respect Rockmill for helping to lead the emerging Ohio craft beer scene years ago. As a craft beer enthusiast, crazy sports fan, and native of the nearby city of Pickerington, I would really love to attend! Been looking for another date to go back to Rockmill again!
Grew up near Rockmill and I must say Matt is doing amazing things with the property and the beer. Cask aged tripel is one of my favorites!
This sounds like a really cool event. I was just discussing Rockmill with a client today and she mentioned how great of an atmosphere it is. Definitely looking forward to visiting soon. Craft breweries putting on these events is great for the beer scene!
Matthew and his family bring out this little slice of heaven for Ohio. We recommend Rock Mill to all friends and family coming to our area. We’d love to come celebrate! Long live Rock Mill!
Love Rockmill brews, but I have never had the chance to visit. Pairing one of my favorite events with this awesome brewing would be awesome!
Beer and beautiful scenery-Rockmill rocks!
I love them both! Everything about the Derby is amazing… Horses, big hats, southern charm and mint juleps!! Rock mill is perfect to host- it’s gorgeous and a great backdrop for this event, plus the beers are on point!
Rockmill is awesome place to spend any day and combining it with my favorite sporting event is a win win!! I love the excitement and the signs of summer that come with derby day!
I love the southern charm of the derby! And Rockmill definitely has one of the best spots for a brewery around Columbus!
Rockmill is definitely one of my favorite central Ohio breweries. I always recommend it to all of my friends especially when it’s this nice outside. Great beers, the Saison Noir is definitely at the top of my list!!
I have never been to Rockmill Brewery but I have always wanted to.
My husband and I love Rockmill, for the both the beer (the War on Wheat for me!) and the location. Such a great place!!! And Judy is the best!!
Nothing like watching the race, wearing hats and seersucker, and enjoying a local brew at Rockmill’s rustic retreat inspired by the beauties of the day, the horses!
Leap day Larry said a to choo choo choose me!!!!
Love Rockmill b/c it is such a unique beautiful brewery serving some of the tastiest special brews around.
I have always wanted to go to the derby!! Love the charm of it! An outing to the Rockville Brewery would be an amazing little vacay for this new mama!
I’ve enjoyed Rockmill Brewery beer from the comfort of my own home, but I haven’t been to the source yet. Would love to check it out!
My fiancee and I love Rockmill and with our approaching wedding in late May I would love a super fun excuse to avoid wedding planning for a day and enjoy the outdoors, food, and Rockmill beers.
Best brewery environment in the state!
Rockmill is an awesome escape into a a relaxed farmhouse atmosphere. Their incredibly rich brews always outmatch the typical Belgian-inspired fare that other local competitors attempt.
I’ve been a huge fan of Rockmill Brewing for a while now, I can still remember having Saison Noir at Betty’s just before it closed. I guess I talked about it enough at work happy hours that my mentor brought me a goodbye gift after I transferred departments, it was a 750 of the bourbon barrel triple. I’d be through the roof to win tickets to this, as I likely won’t go otherwise due to wedding gifts this season.
Fantastic idea to kick off the race! With a great party and great food; featuring great crafts in a epic setting! Who wouldn’t want to attend?
Oh and did I mention the great post? See you at the Mill………
Pick me please
Sounds pretty amazing. Rockmill Brewing Rocks!
Loved this event for the last two years!
