The 3rd annual Findlay Beer Chase 5K is coming up on Sunday, Sept. 17! This fun event starts and ends here in our taproom. All proceeds from this event benefit The Braden Kramer Foundation, a local organization dedicated to positively impacting those in our community affected by pediatric cancer.
Beer Release
On this day we will tap Saazam!, a special new SMaSH (single malt and single hop) beer made with local malts and hops from Heartland Malting Company and Arcadia Buckeye Hops LLC. Light golden in color, slightly sweet with subtle maltiness and balanced bitterness from Comet hops. Comet hops have a slight fruity yet herbal quality, giving it a "Wild American" flavor and aroma.
Those ages 21 and up will receive a pint of this new brew included in their registration at the conclusion of the race!
