The Complete Visitor's Guide to Ohio Brew Week 2026

Ohio Brew Week returns for its 21st year, transforming the city of Athens into the center of the state's craft beer scene. Running from July 10 through July 18, 2026, this nine-day event remains one of the few beer festivals in the country that stretches across an entire city rather than a single venue or fairground. There are no wristbands or main entrances. Hundreds of beers from dozens of Ohio breweries take over local bars, restaurants, and community spaces downtown.
