Each brewery has created a special beer for the event: “Feed the People Brown Ale” (Warped Wing) and “We the People Golden Stout” (North High).
The Dayton pub crawl starts at Warped Wing, then moves on to Trolley Stop, Lucky’s Taproom & Eatery, and finishes at Blind Bob’s Bar. The Columbus pub crawl starts at North High Taproom, then on to Parlor Room, House Beer and finally, Bodega, according to a joint release from the breweries.
Admission will be a donation of non-perishable food item or items to be donated to BOGG Ministries & W.A.R.M. There will be a friendly competition between brewers and markets to raise the most donation items for the needy, so the breweries are suggesting that attendees “donate as much as you can.”

Items that are most needed include cereal, ramen noodles, pasta noodles, breakfast bars, popcorn, peanuts, crackers, fruit snacks, jerky, and pretzels.
Warped Wing has been grown steadily since its founding in January 2014. Less than a year after opening, the brewery signed a lease on a second facility north of downtown to accommodate the stronger-than-projected sales of its beers, both in kegs and in pint cans for retail sales. A restaurant inside the brewery opened in 2015.
And in late October, the brewery installed two new 120-barrel fermentation tanks, which, along with a third similar tank installed earlier this year, “will allow us to meet our sales and production projections through the next calendar year,” Warped Wing co-founder Joe Waizmann said. Each 120-barrel tank holds about 3,700 gallons.
