Ok so we started this thing last week. And the first week was awesome. And we’re going to keep it going. For the ENTIRE winter. And, we want YOU to be a part of it. Want to know more? Good, because I’m going to tell you now. Last week was the first week of the Stand Up Showdown. We partnered with Weathervane Playhouse this winter to bring you the search for Ohio’s funniest person. It’s structured sort of like the show Last Comic Standing. Three winners each week will advance to a monthly battle round. These monthly battle rounds will […]

You guys, I gotta tell you, I started to write a completely different post this week. I have most of the other one done, but then I started to really reflect on 2019. In my personal life, I’ve started a practice of gratitude journaling. It turns out that my personal life and my Trek life are very intertwined. It also turns out in reflecting on 2019 in my personal life, I realized how amazing it would be to reflect on the year at Trek. In doing so, I realized how absolutely incredible it was, and I decided that today’s post […]

Okay friends, it’s officially official that we’re in the final countdown before Christmas. I’m only panicking a little bit. . Every year I get to this point, and I think to myself, “Why didn’t I start this in September?” There are presents to buy, presents to wrap, cookies to bake, preschool Christmas shows to manage, it’s overwhelming and exhausting… and absolutely wonderful. I’d be a complete liar if I didn’t admit to you all how much I absolutely LOVE this magical season. Much like our personal life, life at the brewery is also insanely busy over the next two weeks.

Hey guys! Happy Thursday! I’ve been waiting for this weekend for so long! We started planning in the summer and now it’s finally HERE! As I’m sure you know, when you support a small business you are supporting real families and helping to realize real dreams. And when small business supports small business, it’s just a whole bunch of awesome in one place. This weekend is our holiday Sip and Shop. We’ve rounded up some incredible vendors to hang out with us from 1pm till 5pm.  They’re going to set up in our event room, so be sure to check […]

Happy Thursday friends! This week flew by on me, and somehow it’s Thursday again and I owe you guys a blog post. I recently had extended family in town and as I was giving a tour, they asked, “Well how does John know what to make?” and I thought maybe other people would be curious about John’s brewing process. The first step is deciding what to make. Many people ask if John specializes in a particular style, and the answer he gives is that he “brews what he likes to drink, which is everything.” I think because of John’s engineering […]

Hey friends! Happy pre-Friday to all of you! Somehow we’ve made it to November and I can’t believe how fast it’s all flying by. We’ve got a really exciting month ahead, and since it’s the month of Thanksgiving, we put a lot of effort into finding great community organizations to give back to this month in our Trek Together nights. As such, we’ve got a full month of awesomeness. Our Trek Together program is the easiest way to give back to the community. All you need to do is come in and drink some beer. That’s it. Trek donates $1 […]

Happy Halloween friends! As most of you know, John and I have two little boys who have pretty much been vibrating with excitement in anticipation of today. Halloween is the absolute peak of awesomeness in the mind of a young kid. They get to dress up in superhero costumes, go knock on the doors of the people they are never allowed to bother, AND they get candy? It’s no wonder that it’s the best. Tonight, after John and I put our little superheroes to bed, we’ll do what most parents of small children do… go through their candy and take […]

Hey all! Happy Thursday! Remember last week how I said I felt like things were just speeding up all the time? Well guess what – we’ve got a FULL weekend ahead of us, and it starts TONIGHT.

Rotary is a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, and they have reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent.  So far, Rotary has contributed more than $1.8 billion dollars toward eradicating the disease worldwide.
