Today I’m highlighting an event that signals that winter is ending:
The Downtown Tipp City Partnership’s St. Paddy’s Beer Crawl
March 7, 2026
Tipp City, OH 45371
On a moody March Saturday, we enjoyed a window between rain & snow for the annual St. Paddy’s Beer Crawl. Participants explored downtown at their own pace, enjoying tastings of beer, cider, and seltzers at local businesses. Each stop offered something a little different, from thoughtfully curated drinks to warm food and welcoming spaces.
I loved the speakeasy vibe inside of the Royal Crest Agency Insurance (above). It was my first time attending the event, and everything tasted as good as it looked! The event started with check-in at Mauk Cabinet by Design. While it is a “go at your own pace” event, I highly recommend arriving at the beginning of the event. They offer a beautiful spread of snacks, baked goods, vegetables, fruit, and more.
From there, the experience unfolded as a choose your own next adventure as participants followed their event passport throughout downtown. Each person was given a passport with participating locations. As a DORA community, participants could meander through historic downtown and enjoy visiting shops like Bloomora Botanicals and Thunder Forge while enjoying beverages. Events like this create a sense of community connection that Tipp City is known for.
Some shops also offered snacks and Living Simply Soap had a spread of chili dogs & Reuben hot dogs (the one I chose!).
While it might seem like downtown Tipp City events magically appear, we actually don’t outsource to leprechauns. There are a number of dedicated volunteers, merchants, and sponsors that make them happen. The Downtown Tipp City Partnership is a nonprofit that exists to “enhance, preserve, and promote our downtown.” Their work often extends to reach all of Tipp City & people outside of our community often attend events. For those who want to stay connected, the DTCP regularly shares updates on upcoming events, and their weekly podcast, The Downtown Lowdown, offers a deeper look into the people and stories behind the storefronts.
And if you missed this one, it’s worth keeping an eye on what comes next. The event sold out this year, so I recommend taking advantage of early bird discounts for tickets in 2027! When purchasing tickets, there was an option for designated drivers to participate in the event without buying a beer passport. Thanks to Fox & Feather Trading Co. for the beautiful sweatshirt and t-shirt design!
If this felt like something you would’ve enjoyed, keep an eye on what’s coming next on DTCP’s Facebook & Instagram! 🍀
