From Jan. 30 – Feb. 1, the Ohio Craft Brewers Conference is taking place in Cleveland. My firm and I are playing a prominent role.
- On Jan. 30 we are sponsoring the opening reception at Forest City Brewery, from 5:30 – 7 pm. If you’ve never been, it’s an amazing space, a restored 19th century brewery building. It has the oldest (and, imho, most beautiful) beer garden in Ohio, and one of the oldest in the nation … although it might be a tad cold to fully enjoy it. Forest City also produces some of the best beer in NE Ohio — I recommend the Opening Day IPA and the Hootenanny (a kölsch). Finally, Apostle Jones, a local rock and soul band, is providing the musical entertainment. They are not to be missed. Look for me at the Wickens Herzer Panza table (where we’ll have some nice giveaways) or milling about the brewery. Stop and say hi and I’ll be sure to buy you a beer. This is an open event and you do not have to be registered for the conference to attend.
- On Feb. 1, at 11 am, I am speaking in the Fundamentals Room on Crafting Your Craft Brewery’s Employee Handbook.
I hope to see you there. Cheers!
