Ohio Brew Week

We're just four weeks away from the start of Ohio Brew Week 2024, so we wanted to give a huge thanks to the Ohio University Alumni Association for helping to make this 19th year possible.

Chances are, many of you reading this are members of the Ohio University Alumni Association - just by being a graduate! The association's mission is to connect, inform, and serve the University's diverse alumni and friends. They offer career resources, scholarships and more to help support not just alumni but also the next generation of Bobcats.

Huge thanks to the Ohio University Alumni Association for their support of Ohio Brew Week and the Bobcat community.

See ya'll July 12-20 in Athens!

New Beer Alert 🚨 Margie’s Strawberry Milk Stout

Exciting things happening at Happy Hollow, we’ve got new bottles, labels and beers finally ready!

This collaboration with Margie's Meatloaf Mecca was very briefly on tap during Ohio Brew Week at Tony's Tavern Athens, Ohio, but now we’ve got Margie’s Strawberry Milk Stout in bottles for a very limited release. This big and sweet Willet bourbon barrel aged beer was racked onto vanilla and heaps of strawberries for a neapolitan like flavor profile. Does not contain any lactose, so it’s safe for our intolerant friends.

Our new bottles are 500ml/16.9fl oz so the perfect in between size for sharing or maybe just enjoying yourself. These new labels are collectible trading cards so dust off your old baseball/magic/pokémon card binders and make some space. Keep a look out here for updates on the limited distribution and upcoming brewery membership program.

Cheers 🍻
