Craft Beer
Craft Beer is the thing to drink right now and there are plenty of opportunities to do so in Findlay!
Findlay Brewing Company – 227 N. Main St.
We cannot start off any list about craft beer in Findlay without first highlighting our own brewing company! Findlay Brewing Company is only open on Fridays from 5 – 10 p.m., so make sure you plan ahead to try their beer! They frequently have fan-favorites on tap like Floodwater Stout, Hancocked, Brilliant Blonde, and more but often throw in seasonal favorites featuring different coffees, fruit, and even carrot cake! While we recommend taking a seat and enjoying all the new friends you are sure to make, don’t forget to purchase a growler (or three) to tote your beer home and enjoy all week. Facebook.com

Great Scot Community Market – 2021 Broad Ave.
While you can’t go in and enjoy a brew with friends, Great Scot has a very large variety of craft beer and wine to take home. What is even better is that if they don’t have your favorite you can talk to them about ordering it! Choose from the beer that is already packaged, mix and match your favorites into a six pack, or purchase a growler of what is on tap for some draft beer at home. Whether you are hosting friends at your home or heading out somewhere, you must stop at Great Scot before you head that way! CommunityMarkets.com
Wolfie’s Nuts – 1016 Tiffin Ave.
If you enjoy drinking beer why not brew it yourself? While Wolfie’s Nuts has a large variety of Craft Beer to purchase, you can also buy home brewing equipment! Everything you need to brew your own beer can be found at Wolfie’s (including a “Getting Started” tutorial and free home brewing class!), Bill Wolf, Jr., the owner of Wolfie’s is also the head of the Hancock Home Brewers Association so you can pick his brain for expertise (we are big fans!).
