3 Ways You Can Support Columbus Craft Beerfest

Many people recently on social media and in our travels around to breweries on the weekends have asked our team, “How can we help Columbus Craft Beerfest?”
First off, we are so thankful that you asked us how you can help and it means a ton that you would be interested in supporting Columbus Craft Beerfest.
Columbus Craft Beerfest Co. was formed by a group of young people who wanted to have a high quality event in Columbus. After learning the constraints of non-profit partnerships, we set out to do it on our own and created this company. Our focus has been, and will continue to be — to do right by the brewers, attendees, our city, and all involved in making this festival happen. The #1 goal is to throw a high quality event, spread the love of craft beer, and improve the life of residents of Columbus. Any funds that are not spent on the festival, are donated back into the community to Millrace Park and Just Friends Adult Day Services.
Secondly, we are really excited about year two for Columbus Craft Beerfest. Last year was awesome and we can’t wait to be a part of this event again. We’re currently two months out from our big day and with your help, we could made year two even better for you, the breweries, and the city of Columbus. Here are three ways you can support Columbus Craft Beerfest.
