Akron brewery seeks to trademark 330 area code
Area codes are hot news in the brewing industry right now. Anheuser-Busch InBev is seeking to trademark area codes in many major cities, including 216 in Cleveland, but is being mum about why. And news just broke about Goose Island's plan to move production of 312 Urban Wheat Ale to Baldswinsville, N.Y. -- home of the 315 area code. Now, Thirsty Dog Brewing Co. in Akron is seeking to trademark the 330 area code in Northeast Ohio. Brewery co-owner John Najeway says Thirsty Dog will produce a "330 Summit IPA," made with all Summit hops. The beer will be brewed in about four weeks and also will be the 1000th batch made at the Akron brewery. "The big boys have gotten a bunch of different area codes and they don't care enough about the 330 people," Najeway said with a laugh. "We shouldn't be forgotten."
