Ohio Craft Brewers Association launches Ohio Brew Haul

By

The Ohio Craft Brewers Association is organizing the Ohio Brew Haul, a campaign to encourage craft beer drinkers to buy beer to-go from their local breweries from May 14-17 in conjunction with American Craft Beer Week. Ohio breweries have kept their businesses afloat during the state-ordered closure of bars and restaurants by selling beer for carry out, curbside pickup, home delivery and direct shipping.

While Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced last week that breweries, restaurants and bars can re-open outdoor seating starting May 15 and indoor seating starting May 21, many breweries will still offer their carry out, delivery and shipping options for customers who wish to continue to enjoy their craft beer at home.

From May 14-17, participants are encouraged to post photos of their Ohio beer purchases to Instagram with the hashtag #OhioBrewHaul. 10 posters will be chosen throughout the four-day period and will receive prizes provided by the OCBA. Those who purchase Ohio Brew Haul merchandise will be eligible to earn five bonus passport stamps on the Ohio On Tap app.

The campaign is a fundraiser both for the non-profit Ohio Craft Brewers Association (OCBA) and for its member breweries. Orders for limited edition Ohio Brew Haul merchandise will be taken from May 14 through May 31 at the OCBA online store (http://bit.ly/ocbastore) with net proceeds from each sale split between OCBA and an Ohio craft brewery chosen by the customer.

A map tool is available online at ohiobrewhaul.com to help craft beer drinkers identify which breweries near them are offering carry out, home delivery and direct shipping. The tool also provides info on other ways to support local breweries, identifying those that are offering food, selling gift cards or have an online merchandise store.

Share your Ohio Brew Haul!

We want to see what great Ohio craft beers you score during the Ohio Brew Haul! Share photos of your purchases on Instagram with the hashtag #OhioBrewHaul. We’ll choose ten winning posts over the four days from May 14-17 and reward them with some great prizes from our online store. Want a chance to win an insulated stainless steel growler or our Drink Beer Made Here flag? Now’s your chance!

Be creative! Half the winners will be chosen at random, half will be chosen based on the Ohio Brew Haul theme. Show us your cars/trucks/vans, show us big stacks of cans/bottles, re-create your favorite scene from Smokey & the Bandit… whatever best shows off your Ohio Brew Haul!

Buy Merch, Give Back

Each purchase of this limited edition Ohio Brew Haul merchandise will help to support both the Ohio Craft Brewers Association and your favorite Ohio craft brewery*! Buy a shirt, poster or stickers (coming soon!) and they’ll  donate half of the net proceeds to the brewery of your choice; just select from the list of over 200 OCBA member breweries at checkout.

Here’s even more incentive: purchase an Ohio Brew Haul shirt or poster and we’ll send you instructions on how to get five bonus stamps on the Ohio On Tap passport app**!

**Instructions will be emailed to customers after purchase. We are accepting Ohio Brew Haul merchandise orders through May 31. Please allow 2-4 weeks after that date for delivery.

“Ohio’s craft breweries contribute a great deal of positive impact in their local communities,” said OCBA executive director Mary MacDonald. “We created this campaign to give people a fun way to support the breweries that make their neighborhoods, towns and cities such great places to live and work.”
Founded in 2007, the Ohio Craft Brewers Association is a nonprofit guild that exists to promote, preserve and unify Ohio’s craft brewing industry. We aspire to be recognized as the industry leader at both state and national levels for preserving the art of making high-quality, unique craft beer; to serve as the unified voice for craft brewers across the state; to advocate on behalf of the Ohio craft beer industry; to contribute to systemic, local community development by driving economic and job growth, while creating experiences that bring people together; and to serve as a beacon for local production and manufacturing through craft beer, resulting in diverse choices for consumers.

Now Delivering Local Beer!

By

The Governor has mandated us to stay at home and while it’s the right thing to do, it’s not exactly easy.  Many of our local breweries (which fall under the essential business exemption) have been offering carryout hours, but in the last couple of weeks we’ve seen a new model- carry out.

“The craft brewing industry was built on innovation,” said Mary MacDonald, OCBA’s executive director. “Breweries are leading by example by taking measures to promote social distancing to slow the spread of the virus. The effects of the state ordered closures will hit small businesses disproportionately harder, so we’re asking people to support independent breweries now so our industry will come back as strong as ever once this crisis passes.”

Each brewery is setting their own hours and limited delivery area and we’ve pulled together that info for your here:

Local Craft Breweries Offering Delivery

By

Ohio’s breweries are adapting their businesses after the statewide closure of bars and restaurants to slow the spread of coronavirus. Breweries are leaning on the right afforded to them by Ohio law to sell beer directly to consumers via carry out, home delivery and direct shipping.

The Ohio Department of Health issued an order on Sunday, March 15 that prohibited bars and restaurants from serving customers for consumption on premises but left open the option for carry out and delivery sales. Many Ohio breweries have instituted new procedures to offer online ordering, curbside or drive-thru pickup and even home delivery to minimize person-to-person contact and slow the spread of the virus.

The Ohio Craft Brewers Association (OCBA) is keeping track of changes to member brewery operations. Of OCBA’s 230 operating brewery members, 173 of them have changed their existing business models to sell beer for carry out or delivery. Many are offering online ordering or encouraging customers to place their orders by phone to minimize wait times and reduce points of contact. Where possible, some breweries have begun drive-thru service or curbside pickup so customers do not need to enter the premises to complete their transactions.

First Yellow Springs Brewery home beer delivery going out! Delivering between 12-2pm and 3-5pm to Yellow Springs residents. Get your order in! Carryout available from 1-7pm.

40 OCBA member breweries are now offering home delivery services. While most are limited to a specific delivery radius, breweries offering this service are located in 17 Ohio counties. Several more have stated that they will announce home delivery options in the coming days.

A handful of breweries have begun shipping beer direct to Ohio consumers. BrewDog USA, based in Canal Winchester, had a beer shipping program in place prior to the coronavirus outbreak. Cincinnati’s Listermann Brewing rolled out their direct shipping program this week; Urban Artifact from Cincinnati and Little Fish Brewing from Athens announced plans to begin beer shipping soon as well.

“The craft brewing industry was built on innovation,” said Mary MacDonald, OCBA’s executive director. “Breweries are leading by example by taking measures to promote social distancing to slow the spread of the virus. The effects of the state ordered closures will hit small businesses disproportionately harder, so we’re asking people to support independent breweries now so our industry will come back as strong as ever once this crisis passes.”

 

Devil Wind Brewing will be delivering growlers to Xenia residents starting today. They are  only using Devil Wind branded growlers. If you already have a DW growler, They will exchange it for the freshly-filled one. Sign up for home delivery at our website: www.devilwindbrewing.com. Delivery service starts at 4, and stops at 7:30. Any orders placed afterward will be delivered the following day.

Walk ins for growler fills are welcome from 4-8. Come get your fills!

Star City Brewing will offer beer delivery in a 5 mile radius.

#DaytonStrong IPA Released today!

By

Dayton Brewery Alliance releasing #daytonstrong IPA to help Tornado victims as ongoing effort.

The Dayton Brewery Alliance is continuing their relief efforts by collaborating on a beer called #daytonstrong IPA. All proceeds of the beer will go to the Dayton Foundation as part of an ongoing effort to help Dayton area people in need after the devastating tornadoes passed through the area on Memorial Day weekend 2019.

 

Several of the breweries will be making versions of #daytonstrong IPA to serve in their taprooms and to sell to other member breweries of the Dayton Brewers Alliance.  Warped Wing will be canning over 1,000 cases to be distributed out to the market.

“2019 has been a heartfelt and difficult year for the people of Dayton”, said Nick Bowman, VP/Sales & Marketing and Managing Partner at Warped Wing. “That said, it’s amazing how people in our community come together to help friends and neighbors in need. It speaks to the level of character, care and giving that makes our city so great”, said Bowman.

“The can embodies a minimalistic, purposefully under designed look as not to over-shadow what we are trying to do. This is about all the people in need. Our neighbors, many, who have lost everything”, said Bowman

Copy on the front of the can reads:

Through darkness comes light.
Through fear comes compassion.
Through tragedy comes triumph.

 

The release of the beer will follow the schedule below:

— Taproom Release at all the Dayton Area Breweries on Saturday, August 17th

– Warped Wing will start distributing cans only to bars, restaurants and retails accounts starting Monday, August 19th

 

This project was made possible by the following sponsors and partners who contributed either raw materials or services. Those groups are as follows; TRIPACK, LD Carlson, Century Label, Country Malt Group, John Pattison, Brewer’s Supply Group
