Hey everyone! Just a short and sweet post today. It’s my birthday week, the first week of new classes at the preschool, a holiday, and well, I’m just running a tad bit behind schedule (Anyone else think starting the week on Tuesday is HARD?). The rest of this week is full of awesomeness though, and I want to let you know the details. Tonight, please join me at our Trek Together for Hospice. It’s my birthday and I want to spend it with you! You’re also helping me keep a 17 year promise to give back to an organization that […]
Since we’ve been in the storytelling mode on this blog for a little while now, I’m going to share with you a very personal story. It’s a story about what brought me to Granville. It’s a story that has very much shaped the person that I am today. It is not a short story though, so maybe save this post for when you’ve got a moment. I grew up in one of those really lucky situations. I had parents that loved each other and adored my brother and I. I spent most of my youth in a small town just […]
I’m very much a creature of routine. The teacher in me thrives on having a set schedule. I’m a planner by nature, and my whole world just feels better when I feel like I know what to expect. Did you know that we have some events at Trek that happen EVERY SINGLE WEEK? It makes my routine-loving heart happy. You don’t have to guess when these things will happen, because, they happen every single week. If it’s Wednesday it’s going to be Trivia Night, and if it’s Thursday it’s Trek Together night. Trivia night is absolutely the most fun you […]
Last week there was a big commotion in the Ohio Craft beer world. One of the fastest growing craft breweries in America, Platform Brewing, got bought out by AB-InBev. Okay, so what’s the big deal? Why do we care? The short answer is, lots of reasons. When Big Beer (brands like AB-InBev, Miller Coors, etc.) makes acquisitions of craft brands, there is a disturbance in the force. Craft brewers are defined as three things: small, independent, and traditional. Small is defined as brewing less than 6 million barrels of beer a year. Independent is defined as less than 25% of the […]
I’ve told you before that one of my very favorite things about bartending at Trek is that I get to talk to everyone at the bar. I love learning different things about everyone’s lives and I love talking about what’s going on in our community. A couple of weeks ago I was talking with someone who let me know that Food Pantry Network of Licking County is going to be in need of help this year. One of the major funding sources for the food pantry has restructured their giving, and the pantry will lose a significant portion of their […]
Hi guys! Happy Thursday! Happy AUGUST. How is it August already? This summer has absolutely flown by. I wanted to take a quick minute and update you on our August calendar, because there are a lot of fun events happening at Trek this month. First of all, food trucks. We LOVE having the trucks at Trek. They change up our menu all the time, and they are all seriously good food. When you come in to Trek, and we’ve got a truck outside we hope you’ll consider grabbing some good eats from them! Our food truck schedule for August is […]
Last week I shared with you a little bit about our story. That post was a glimpse into the day to day life that our family is living as small business owners. Our family is the heart and soul of our grand adventure saga. However, there are multiple plot lines that are emerging as our Trek continues (see what I did there?), and we’re really proud to be mentioned this week in a state-wide publication for one of them. One of the biggest and most important things that John and I wanted to accomplish when we started Trek Brewing Company […]
I think that I may be hardwired to love a good story. Maybe it’s the way I was brought up, with a story every night before bed, sometimes (when we were extra good) two or three. Maybe it’s because reading a good story has always been my way to relax. At any rate, I’ve long been fascinated by the stories of the people I meet. I’m curious about what brings them to where they are today, and captivated by their hopes for the future. When John and I decided to turn our lives upside down and follow this dream of […]
Oh hey guys! I hope you’ve had an awesome week. We definitely did. The 4th of July is one of my favorite times of year, and even though its super busy, it’s always so much fun. We had an absolute blast at our Fireworks for Good Party this year, and we wanted to just spend some time recapping that event. It was a dark and stormy day, and we started off slowly. We were just starting to get afraid that the rain was going to keep everyone away, but then, everyone showed up. And we mean everyone. The taproom and […]
Hey guys! Happy happy Thursday! It’s been an awesome couple of weeks, and we’ve got so much to look forward to! These summertime nights have been so much fun. If you missed out on Tyy Perkins— you really missed out. Our first live music event leaves a lot for everyone else to live up to. Tyy was incredible. We can’t wait to have him back! We are starting to book more live music events, so keep watching Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and our webpage to stay up to date with those events. Things at Trek are slowly starting to get into […]
