Twinsburg's July Field Trip ~ Ohio Brewing Company

Many of us from the Twinsburg office traveled to downtown Akron for our field trip to the Ohio Brewing Company.  


The owner (Chris) came out and gave us a brief history of the brewing company.  He also gave us a tour, which involved turning our heads to the right and then to the left. 


Sampler platters were a requirement for those that joined us at our table.  Chris also graciously gave us free samples from their one keg of Jingle Bell Ale ~ brewed for their Christmas in July.

A Silver Lining

I'm sure many of us had to deal with the derecho storm that came through here a few weeks ago.  There were plenty of misfortunes that resulted from the storm; however, Port City was able to take advantage of their problem.  They turned a spoiling tank of beer into a steam beer, a lager yeast beer that ferments at higher temperatures like an ale.  The "Derecho Common" beer will be available starting in August.
