The Ohio Craft Brewers Association will hold its 2024 Ohio Craft Brewers Conference, Jan.16-18 at the Glass City Center in Toledo.
The ninth annual event will bring about 700 brewers and industry professionals to Toledo for three days of seminars, speakers, vendor connections, and networking opportunities focused on the growing craft beer industry in Ohio.
The Ohio Craft Brewers Association was founded as a not-for-profit organization in 2008 to unify the Ohio brewing community, market Ohio manufactured beers throughout the state and beyond, and monitor and promote a strong beer industry in Ohio.
The Ohio Craft Brewers Association also organizes statewide events that showcase the rich brewing industry and stellar beers being produced in Ohio.
“Industry professionals from around the state gather at the Ohio Craft Brewers
Conference to learn about various aspects of the business of brewing beer,” says Mary MacDonald, of the Ohio Craft Brewers Association. “One of our primary criteria for selecting a venue is the number of breweries in proximity to our site for attendees to visit and support. We are delighted that the growth of the Toledo craft beer scene and the renovation of the Glass City Center have coincided to bring our event to Toledo.”
“We are excited for Toledo to host the 2024 Ohio Craft Brewers Conference,” says Nick Anderson, Relationship Manager at Destination Toledo. “With so many highly regarded breweries across the state, it’s an honor to have our local craft brewery community in the spotlight as we host this year’s conference. The craft beer industry is built on creativity and comradery, so having the chance for brewers to network, compare notes,and share a beer (or two) in our city is a fantastic opportunity.”
