In the year 2020, absolutely not a single thing is normal. But, perhaps one of the things that has been SO noticeably lacking is Ohio State football. We are so incredibly glad to hear that some semblance of routine is returning to Saturdays. And, we’re hoping that you’ll help us make this the best year yet. Last year we launched the Football Food Drive. We invited you to Be a Fan and Bring a Can. It was a great program last year, and we’d like to reinstate it for this coming year, where it feels more important to be a […]

So last week I posted a pretty adorable photo of Charlie and John from six years ago. Charlie was about 5 months old, and we traveled from Seattle to Denver for the Great American Beer Festival.  Yes, even then, we were those people, the ones that have their baby at a beer festival.  John had been homebrewing for a few years at that point, and we were really excited to experience the largest beer festival in the USA. When we got to the Colorado Convention Center we were immediately struck by the enormity of this festival. There were hundreds of […]

So, it’s been a REALLY long time. And I’m so sorry. Every week I sit down to write and I think, well, there really isn’t a whole lot to talk about. It’s not that there isn’t a lot going on…. And when I really stop to think about it I realize how much we really still are doing. The taproom is open from Wednesday through Sunday now. We’re serving lunch starting at 11am and we go through the evening, ending at 9pm. Bryon is incredible in the kitchen, so incredible that we’ve had to add another cook. Jarron helps out […]

Hey guys! Today’s blog is going to be short and sweet! I just wanted to drop a line and let you know what all is happening at the taproom. We’ve updated our hours and we’re now open 11 am to 9 pm Wednesday through Sunday. This means that you can come grab a Trek burger for lunch and a crowler for later (or stay and have a pint with your lunch, we promise we won’t tell!). In addition to the taproom being open during those times, we’re also open for To-Go orders. You can call the brewery directly for those, […]

Hey guys! So before you get too far into this post, I’m going to warn you that it isn’t one with any big earth-shattering revelations or new information. Today’s post is simply me writing to stay connected with you all. Though we’ve seen glimpses of light at the end of this pandemic tunnel, we still are miles away from normal. And I miss you. And so, today, I write just to feel a little bit closer. John and I celebrate 11 years of marriage on Saturday. This time of year my Facebook is flooded with memories and these snapshots in […]

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 […]
