From Bottle to Bar
About
Created through a collaboration with OHLQ®, the series celebrates the state’s vibrant network of locally owned distilleries and hospitality businesses. Each film offers an inside look at the individuals shaping Ohio’s culture—crafting spirits, building welcoming spaces, and pushing the industry forward through creativity and hard work.
From Bottle to Bar is a celebration of local craftsmanship and the people who make Ohio’s spirits scene what it is today—one bottle, one bar, and one story at a time.
