Ohio Brew Week awards
Jackie O's Pub & Brewery in Athens took home the top People's Choice award at the sixth annual Ohio Brew Week, which was held last week. The brewpub won first for its Kentucky Monk, a 10-percent, Belgian-style tripel aged in bourbon barrels. The other People's Choice winners were: second, 12 Dogs of Christmas bourbon barrel-aged from Thirsty Dog Brewing Co. in Akron, and third, Javelin American Amber Rye from Black Box Brewing Co. in Westlake. Other awards went to: best bartender: Julie Flint of the Smiling Skull Saloon; best server: Julie Sparhawk of the Oak Room; and best food of the week: Restaurant Salaam. At the Dog Days Talent Show, two dogs finished in a tie for the "Dog that Best Represents a Thirsty Dog" price, which includes a chance to be on a beer label: Scout, a mixed breed owned by Dan Whiteley; and Lilly Neustein, an English bulldog owned by Sam Hook. (See photo below.) You also can find a list of winners from the homebrew competition by clicking here.

Najeway helped judge the winners of the competition in several categories, including these winners who most represent a "Thirsty Dog" and who will have the chance to be featured on a Thirsty Dog label.
