March First Brewing

March First Brewing was founded with the same spirit of independence and tenacity as our nation. Our name pays homage to the great state of Ohio, founded March 1, 1803. We specialize in “drinkable” craft beer, cider, and spirits, and proudly brew, distill, and bottle in Cincinnati, Ohio. We admittedly do not follow popular trends or industry norms, and it is in precisely this that makes us delightfully unpredictable.

Why do we do it? To create an ever-growing number of well paying, rewarding and sustainable American jobs by producing the highest quality, handcrafted adult beverages designed to make the world a happier place

Earnest Brew Works

Earnest Brew Works is a brewer-owned and operated brewery and taproom in Toledo, Ohio. Earnest Brew Works is the vision of two homebrewers who want to share their passion for beer. Inspiration can come from anywhere, and the beers brewed at the EBW will be no different – we will both pay homage to traditional beer styles while also bringing in a fresh take on ingredients. The word earnest means “serious in intention, purpose, showing depth and sincerity.” This captures the brewers’ attitudes towards beer and brewing. Earnest Brew Works chooses to brew great beers for our community’s enjoyment.

Derive Brewing Company

Derive Brewing Company was founded in 2016 by Luke Sherrill, Peter Steffes and Mike Coates as a nomad brewery specializing in lesser known and scarcely brewed styles such as clean barrel-aged beers. Peter Steffes is a Food Scientist and Luke Sherrill is a Certified Master Brewer from the world renowned Siebel Institute. Steffes and Sherrill met while honing their skills at one of Columbus’s oldest craft breweries, and the concept for Derive was quickly born. Derive Brewing Craft Beer and Kitchen, nestled in the heart of eclectic Clintonville, was opened in August 2020. Derive specializes in hazy IPAs, saisons, and other more esoteric beer styles.

Feisty Brood Meadery

We are a small, family-owned winery in Ohio that specializes in high-quality mead (honey wine).

Ciró: Italian Kitchen & Bar

Cirò or “Cheer-O” is a new Italian elegant casual dining concept created by Saundra Buck and Francis McFadden. The menu includes pasta and flatbread pizza, but is much more expansive, including antipasti, salads, sweets, a full service-coffee bar, and a full-service bar.

West End Distillery

Our mission at West End Distillery (formerly Fifth Element Spirits) is to use the finest, locally-sourced fruits, grains, roots, and herbs to produce top-shelf spirits and that embody flavors and styles uniquely Appalachian. After a long renovation & permit process, we began production in 2018, a block from the West End Ciderhouse, in the westside neighborhood of Athens, Ohio.

Outerbelt Brewing

Outerbelt Brewing opened its taproom doors in June 2019 for the first time. Located in an industrial area right off of Rt. 33, the brewery and taproom occupy a good portion of the 25,000 sq foot former Lowes. Utilizing the space, we have built a 30 bbl production brewery founded on the passion and drive that got us all into beer in the first place. A passion project between local brothers Robert and Davey Landis and Reynoldsburg-native and Head Brewer Dan Griffin, Outerbelt is bringing innovative new craft beer to the Lancaster area.

With a spacious taproom, private room and covered patio, Outerbelt can accommodate anyone for anything. Come check us out 7 days a week (when quarantine hours end)! Or find our products on local shelves and draft lines throughout Fairfield, Franklin, & Licking County.

Wild Ohio Brewing Company

Wild Ohio Brewing is a Columbus, Ohio based Company owned and managed by people who are extremely proud of the art and science of creating great Tea Beer. Folks at Wild Ohio believe that a great beer makes good times better. We feel blessed and humbled by the admiration, respect, and accolades showered upon us by our esteemed customers. Thanks to our loyal customers, our employees, and business associates, we are now one of the fastest growing producers of Tea Beer in Ohio.

BrewDog

COMMITTED TO THE CRAFT

At BrewDog we are on a mission to make other people as passionate about great craft beer as we are. Every beer we make, everything we do, ties back to that. We are committed to putting the passion, the flavour and the artisan craftsmanship back into people’s glasses. We want to change the world of beer forever and introduce people to new dimensions of flavour they never knew existed.
