I'm surprised they haven't been posted yet. There's a thread for Kentucky, but not for Ohio. I'll be at Lizardville on Friday and Monday for some fun times. Any one else going to any events? Enjoy.
Exactly this. We've been seeing a lot of new breweries distro'ing here in the last year (Clown Shoes, Bruery, Green Flash amongst others), and I'm happy to see more quality ones coming into the state. Not that we have a lot to complain about with the in-state options, but the more the merrier.
Winking Lizard in Brunswick already has Deshutes stuff on their 2014 bottle list and physically in their coolers!! Mirror Pond and Black Butte Porter to be specific
I'll ask Lizardville if I go there this weekend about the Chocolate and Beer Flight Night. I would love to find out specifics for NE Ohio events as well if any one knows. There's a general list of what should be in Ohio, but I can't find it on the Facebook of the guy in charge for Deschutes in Ohio. In general, Black Butte, Mirror Pond, Red Chair, Inversion and Hop Henge should all be here.
Launch beers are Black Butte, Mirror Pond, Red Chair, Inversion and Hop Henge and the Great Lakes collaboration smoked porter. These "specialty" beers were approved for Ohio, so we can safely expect to see them over the course of the next year: Chasin’ Freshies IPA, Hop Trip Pale Ale, Fresh Squeezed IPA, Hop Henge IPA, Black Butte XXV Anniversary Imperial Porter, The Abyss, The Dissident, Obsidian Stout, and Chainbreaker White IPA.
