For those who imbibe, what better way to quench your thirst on a hot summer day than with a cold brew? Brew Week is a nine-day celebration of Ohio’s craft-brew industry, with live entertainment, competitions and myriad guest speakers.

This year, Brew Week — July 11-19 — will feature events at many establishments in Athens, including Casa Nueva Restaurant, Restaurant Salaam and Jackie O’s Brewery, plus Kiser’s at Eclipse near The Plains.

It’s an opportunity to enjoy the scenery, eat fabulous food sourced from local farms, and, of course, try a variety of brews from throughout Ohio.

Both Brew Week weekends offer fun events, from the Rockn-Roast patio party at the Ohio University Inn to Last Call, the summer’s best street party uptown. (www.ohiobreweek. com)
