Ohio Pint Day Returns Tuesday, Sept. 27

Ohio Pint Day Returns for Third Year More than 180 breweries offering collectible pint glasses to benefit brewing industry. COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio Craft Brewers Association is organizing the third annual Ohio Pint Day, to be held on Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2022. That day, more than 180 breweries across the state will offer this year's limited edition, collectible pint glass in their taprooms to celebrate the occasion and raise funds for their industry trade association. Ohio Pint Day has become a beloved annual tradition for the Ohio Craft Brewers Association, its member breweries and for fans of Ohio craft beer. Demand for the collectible Ohio Pint Day glass was so high each of the past two years that many breweries sold out on the day of the event. This year, approximately 13,000 glasses will be available at participating breweries all over the state. In partnership with the participating breweries and glass manufacturer Boelter Beverage, $1 from every glass will be donated to the Ohio Craft Brewers Association, the non-profit organization that represents and advocates for Ohio’s independently-owned craft breweries. “We’re excited to see Pint Day promotions gain popularity not just here in Ohio, but across the country” said Ohio Craft Brewers Association executive director Mary MacDonald. “These unique art glasses not only draw people into their local breweries, but they also help non-profit brewers guilds like ours fund our mission to promote and protect the brewing industry at the state level.” The Ohio Craft Brewers Association commissioned artist Juan Vergara to design this year’s Ohio Pint Day glass after admiring the artwork that lines the walls of his brewery, Pulpo Beer Company in Willoughby. “My inspiration behind this year’s Ohio Pint Day design was Solidarity,” Vergara explains in his artist’s statement. “With every struggle the hospitality industry has been through in the past couple of years and as it continues to this day, we shall never forget that lending a helping hand between all of us and sharing our misfortunes and accomplishments we can all survive and overcome.” On Ohio Pint Day, craft beer fans can expect to find many different offers from participating breweries. Some breweries may sell the glass filled with the customer’s choice of beer, others may include the glass with a crowler or growler purchase to go, still others may sell the glass individually. Users of the Ohio On Tap brewery passport app will be able to receive a bonus passport stamp by purchasing an Ohio Pint Day glass. Users will be able to submit selfies with their glass from Sept. 27 through Oct. 2 to receive the stamp. A complete list and map of participating breweries can be found at https://ohiocraftbeer.org/ohiopintday/ Founded in 2007, the Ohio Craft Brewers Association is a nonprofit guild that exists to promote, preserve and unify Ohio’s craft brewing industry. We aspire to be recognized as the industry leader at both state and national levels for preserving the art of making high-quality, unique craft beer; to serve as the unified voice for craft brewers across the state; to advocate on behalf of the Ohio craft beer industry; to contribute to systemic, local community development by driving economic and job growth, while creating experiences that bring people together; to promote safe, responsible enjoyment of Ohio craft beer; and to serve as a beacon for local production and manufacturing through craft beer, resulting in diverse choices for consumers.
