Major Beer Festivals in Ohio in 2012
Posted on Jan 4, 2012
Brewers/festival organizers:
I am putting together a master list of major beer festivals in Ohio in 2012 for a story to be published Wednesday, Jan. 11, in the Akron Beacon Journal. I wanted to make sure that I'm not missing any big events in the state. Again, I'm looking for the big ones.
If there is an Ohio festival missing from below, please let me know.
Thanks.
