As we close out another incredible year at Ignite, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our mission: Making Beer Make a Difference. From raising glasses to raising funds, 2024 has been a year of building stronger communities and making an impact through Ignite beer.

Our Making Beer Make a Difference Pillars
To ensure our efforts are focused and meaningful, we have built our mission on three pillars.

  • Community Wellness: Supporting mental health, promoting physical activity and supporting the fight against cancer.
  • Social Economic Impact: Creating economic opportunities and fostering local talent to strengthen the social fabric of Barberton and beyond.
  • Craft Beer Community: Participating in industry events to strengthen the craft beer industry.

Ignite Beer Sparks Change
At Ignite, every beer poured is a step towards giving back. Over the past year, we have partnered with a number of organizations that align with our mission, including:

  • Stewart’s Caring Place
  • The Lake Anna YMCA
  • Main Street Barberton
  • Toys for Tots
  • The Ohio Craft Brewer’s Association
  • Barberton Firefighters Local 329 & the Muscular Dystrophy Association
  • Magic’s Ready-to-Learn

From brewing specialty beers, to participating in annual fundraising events, and everything in between, one of our proudest achievements this year was the overwhelming support we received from YOU – our loyal Ignite family and friends. Every pint purchased and event attended contributed to building stronger communities. We can’t thank you enough for your continued support.

Cheers to another year of Making Beer Make a Difference!
