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 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 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.

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

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.

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.
