Stops
Lock 15 Brewing Co. on the Summit Brew Path
At a Christmas party in 2010, owners and cousins Colin Cook and Joe Karpinski celebrated with their family over the latest batch of Christmas Ale homebrewed by Joe. “One taste of that beer and I knew Joe would be brewing beer on a much larger scale, and I wanted to make sure it was with me!” The cousins bring the latest food and beverage trends to their hometown at Lock 15 Brewing Co., located in a former tire factory on the Towpath Trail of the Ohio & Erie Canal. Here you’ll find year-round, seasonal and experiment beers, raised beds that provide as much produce for the restaurant as possible and unmatched atmosphere and experience.
Thirsty Dog Brewing Co. on the Summit Brew Path
This stop along the Summit Brew Path features meticulously hand crafted, small batch beers using the finest ingredients. Enjoy carefully selected ingredients, along with specially designed recipes and brewing processes that give Thirsty Dog beers unique flavor profiles that are hard to find in today’s mass-market. Enthusiasts can get a closer look during Saturday tours!
Akronym Brewing on the Summit Brew Path
