NORTHFIELD, Ohio – When Joe Zaucha got into the importing business he probably never thought he would be getting a lesson in geography.
Zaucha, a Northfield wine and spirits importer, sells Polotsk Vodka from Belarus. He stumbled into it less than two years ago, was impressed, and made a bid to import it. Late last month, he learned it earned a gold medal in the Vodka category at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Results were made public about 11:30 a.m. today.
It s time once again to hit the brewery trail.
The annual Summit Brew Path which includes two Stark County breweries starts Wednesday and runs through Dec. 12.
Participants simply need to stop by one of 24 participating craft brewers in the Akron area and pick up a passport, then have a sample or two.
The path is coordinated by the Akron/Summit Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Those who complete the passport by stopping at 20 or 24 of the breweries are eligible for a drawing with prizes, including a VIP experience at one of the watering holes.
This marks the fifth year of the annual trek, but Jim Mahon, visitors bureau vice president of marketing, admits last year did present some challenges with state-mandated closures as a result of the pandemic.
