Hey everyone! Happy Thursday! It’s been a really good few weeks as we navigate into this “new normal.” I truly don’t even have the words to express how amazing it feels to have some life back into the taproom! We did a trial run of live music last Friday with Acoustic Poppycock. They were absolutely incredible, and so were all of you. We were so impressed with how well everyone stayed in their seats and followed social distancing guidelines. Every table was filled, but there was just enough turnover that we didn’t have a wait. It really went SO well. […]

Ok guys, I’ve REALLY been slacking on the whole blog post thing. It turns out that even when the world isn’t busy– we really still are. Our little corner of the world hasn’t stopped, at all. Admittedly, it is a little slower, and if I’m honest, I really love that we’ve been able to recoup some precious family time. It has been wonderful to actually be home together several evenings and even some weekend afternoons. (Thanks to our amazing staff!) I wanted to take a moment and just fill you in on what is the “new normal” for Trek right […]

Trek Family, We are SO excited to welcome you back to Trek for outdoor dining. We’ve been working hard to implement the best ways to keep everyone safe and healthy at this time, and there will be a few noticeable changes. We’ll open the patio for your groups this Friday. We will have 6 tables available for groups of up to 8 people. You must have a seat to be served. No standing room on the patio. We ask that you be mindful of your health. If you have any symptoms of sickness please wait to visit until you’re feeling […]

Hey guys! I’m sorry I missed writing to you last week. Like most of you, we’re living in the cycle of no real news but also everything could change in a minute. It’s a hard place to be, and it is extremely hard to wrap our heads around. I’ve been having a hard time communicating my feelings and emotions which makes it difficult to write. I opened the computer to write last week and honestly thought, “I don’t really have anything new to say.” And really (spoiler), I don’t have a whole lot that is new to say this week; […]

Have I mentioned lately how amazing the new Trek Kitchen featuring Star City Sliders is? Well, let me go ahead and tell you again… it’s amazing. We can’t begin to tell you how fortunate we feel to have Bryon on board as part of the Trek team during this time. Partly because talking to Bryon gives John something to do now that the taproom is lonely, but mostly because the food is absolutely incredible. As this eternal groundhog’s day drags on, there are also chances to adapt and make changes. One of the things that we’ve been trying to get […]

So I went into work this week, and my office mate has her entire calendar erased, and GROUNDHOGS DAY scrawled across it. And I thought, “this is the truest thing I’ve seen this week.” Like so many of you, I have zero concept of time anymore, but I’m almost positive it’s either March 8000 or April 64. It seems crazy to live in this world where everything as we know it has changed, and life as we know it can completely change from hour to hour. We’re adapting and changing things at Trek almost with that same frequency. We’re currently […]

Well guys, we’ve reached the “interesting twist” point in the story of Trek. When we got the news that bars and restaurants were ordered to close at 9pm, we were not together. John was home with the boys, dude’s day was in full swing, and the three boys were busy building a Leprechaun trap. When I texted to tell John what was happening, they immediately came into Trek to begin to figure out our next steps. What’s even more amazing is that so did SO many of you. We were (and honestly, we continue to be) all the emotions. We […]

We wanted to write to you today to let you know that we are taking the situation with COVID-19 extremely seriously.  At Trek, we believe that great beer and great people come together to do incredible things. We’re committed to producing exceptional beers and supporting our community in our family-friendly taproom. To that end, we want to assure you that we are taking extra steps to ensure that we have the safest environment possible. Trek Brewing Company will immediately put into practice the following measures: You’ll see our staff pausing to wash hands more frequently. We’re asking that they do […]

You guys… this week the Trek journey took a whole new and very exciting turn. We officially launched the Trek Kitchen featuring Star City Sliders. Bryon has absolutely been incredible, and the kitchen is already way more incredible than we could have anticipated. We’re excited to share with you all of the awesome events that we’ve got coming up this month. Starting TONIGHT we’ve got Trek Together for The Works. This is one of the incredible gems of Licking County. So many awesome hands-on things to learn and see! We’re happy to give $1 from every pint we sell tonight […]

So, this week we had our Trek Christmas party. I know. It’s February. Christmas was over literally months ago. But, we never got a chance to celebrate with our people. And, we realized that we really wanted to celebrate with these people that have become our extended family. Hence, Christmas in February. My most read blog posts are about how we make this whole owning a business and having a young family thing work. People like to hear stories. Maybe some of you out there are considering starting your own business– and as we’ve shared before, we’d LOVE to sit […]
