The Ohio Craft Brewers Association was founded as a not-for-profit in 2008 to unify the Ohio brewing community, market Ohio-manufactured beers throughout the state and beyond, and monitor and promote a strong beer industry in Ohio.
Today, as a registered 501(c)(6), we organize statewide events, advocate at the Statehouse, and champion the hundreds of independent breweries that call Ohio home.
We see an Ohio where the craft brewing industry prospers and evolves through strong advocacy; where breweries drive local community development, economic and job growth; and where great beer brings people together. We promote the safe, responsible enjoyment of Ohio craft beverages and work to build a more inclusive craft brewing community — a beacon for local production and diverse choice.
They guide how we advocate, who we welcome, and the culture we build across Ohio’s craft brewing community.
We sustain Ohio’s craft brewing industry by promoting the creation of high-quality, unique products.
We give independent breweries the training and tools to sustain and improve their craft.
We protect, communicate and advance the rights of Ohio’s craft brewing industry.
We value safety and the culture required to support it — in every taproom and brewhouse.
We are committed to creating safe, inclusive environments for people to work and gather.
We commit to a culture built on transparency, collaboration and a deep passion for craft beer.
