Ohio Brewery named to top 50 list
The Brewers Association, an industry trade group established to “promote and protect American craft beer and brewers,” has released its annual top 50 craft brewer list for 2007. An Ohio brewery, Great Lakes Brewing Co made this year’s list. Missing is one of our favorites, Christian Moerlein… I guess they didn’t make the list because it is so hard to find! (i.e. can’t find it can’t buy it.)

Another Ohio connection… Boston Brewing (Samuel Adams) brews more than 60% of their beer in Cincinnati.
