If you are like me, and seemingly the more Civil War aficionados I meet this holds true, you enjoy a good craft beer after a day of battlefield exploration. The John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail across Ohio is one long exploratory route, and it can take a few days to drive the route and peruse the interpretive panels along the way. Stretching from Harrison on the Ohio-Indiana border, and ending near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border, the trail is over 500 miles long. Driving the trail can be thirsty business, and this article is to provide you with breweries along the way to enjoy while pondering the Great Raid.
As these breweries are all nearly locally owned, there is an unfortunate possibility that they may not be in existence in the future as small businesses do come and go. As of this writing these locations are open and ready for you to enjoy their craft beer offerings. Let them know that you are driving the Morgan Trail when you stop in! Also keep in mind that many of these breweries have limited days of the week that they are open for business - plan accordingly by checking their websites for open times.
We'll go county by county, following the trail from west to east. There is also the five and dime rule - in larger urban areas the breweries listed are within five driving miles of the trail, while in rural areas the breweries are within ten miles. And as many breweries often changing their taps, I will not provide a synopsis of what beers are available...let your own palette lead you based on the offerings of the day!
