Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Ohio’s rise to brewery fame has been a long time coming. We’ve got some incredible establishments in this state that offer some of the best beers in the country. And sure, when you think about seeking out these tasty brews, you probably assume you’ll find yourself in Cincinnati, Columbus, or Cleveland. But our small town breweries are so underrated. These breweries are worth a little road trip on their own, but there are also a lot of fun things to in the small towns they call home as well. Get out there and explore, friends! Cheers!

🏰 The Wild Tale of Chateau Laroche: How a War Veteran Built a Castle in Ohio
Back in 2020, when lockdown was in full swing, I kept thinking of various projects to occupy my mind. I took up embroidery, killed a few plants, and even made a shortlived attempt at baking bread. But none of that compares to one man’s hobby, which wasn’t inspired by a pandemic, but rather his experiences in Europe during World War I. It’s an impressive tale of dedication and determination, and now we all get to enjoy his beautiful creation.
