Where History Meets Beer in Uptown Westerville Every Week. This two-hour walking tour will focus on historical information about Westerville’s Temperance past, and teach participants about beer, including samplings.

Uptown Westerville Inc.’s Epic Beer Walks will begin at North High Brewing Co., 250 S. State St., stop at various Prohibition-related sites in Uptown and also stop at Fattey Beer Co., 79 S. State St.

The tour guides will be two 1977 graduates of Westerville South High School: Kurt Sima, owner of Eric Beer Trips (epicbeertirps.com) and Dr. Mark Grimsley, a history professor at Ohio State University. The history lessons will be based on the Uptown Westerville Inc. book by Joe Meyer, Westerville: The War Machine of Prohibition. Beer samples for this tour will be served at North High Brewing and Fattey Beer Company.

Participants should be able to walk approximately 2 miles for the tour. The Beer Walks will be held rain or shine. Tickets available HERE.
