CENTRAL 

Land-Grant Brewing is creating a special beer experience for the inaugural Scioto Fest, a weekend-long celebration at the Scioto Audubon Metro Park near downtown Columbus. The brewery will set up an outdoor beer garden in the park – dubbed the Land-Grant Brewing Company Outpost – and will be serving their new Outpost Rustic Lager along with other fan favorites. The beer was brewed with honey harvested from the Scioto Audubon park; a portion of proceeds from Outpost beer sales will benefit Columbus Metro Parks. Details at facebook.com/landgrantbrewingco

GREATER CLEVELAND 

Fat Head’s Brewery has taken the crown in this year’s King of Ohio beer competition. The annual contest is organized by beer writers across the state and focuses on a single style, allowing each brewery to submit only one entry. For 2019, entrants were asked to send their best IPA, regardless of sub-style. Of the 94 beers judged, Strange Magic – the newest year-round IPA from Fat Head’s – took best in show honors. For a full list of winners, read the recap from competition organizer Rick Armon at ohio.com

WEST CENTRAL

Last month, Fifth Street Brewpub hosted a hop picking party with freshly cut bines of locally-grown Nugget hops. The fruits, er, flowers, of that labor will be released in the form of Fifth Street’s 2019 Fresh Hop Ale on Thursday, September 19. This is the greatest time of year for hoppy beer enthusiasts, as the flavors and aromas from fresh hops are unmatched and available exclusively after hop harvest.
