Ohio Breweries Fighting THC-Infused Drink Ban To Keep Jobs In State

Mar 31, 2026 | Feature, Great Lakes Region

THC-infused beverages are officially outlawed in Ohio. The beverages are off store shelves and not being served in restaurants and bars, even though local breweries said they were popular there.

After the failed petition to place a referendum on Senate Bill 56 on the November ballot, 11 major Ohio breweries are taking the fight directly to lawmakers.

Breweries like Saucy Brew Works and Great Lakes Brewing Company are asking Ohioans to contact their representatives to demand a vote to override Governor Mike DeWine’s decision to ban THC-infused drinks and certain hemp products.
