Business Spotlight: Ignite Brewing Company

We are pleased to feature Barberton’s Ignite Brewing Company for this month’s Business Spotlight!

Ignite does more than sell craft beer and tasty snacks – they also have a goal to make their taproom the place where good friends meet, where strangers become friends, where groups gather, where great ideas are born, where community involvement is planned and where every glass you enjoy resonates with good.

One reason we are lucky to have Ignite is because they believe in giving back to the community of Barberton. The Ignite team lives locally and their taproom is part of our growing downtown. They strive to make life a better place for residents and visitors through their partnerships with local businesses and regional causes. The Ignite team also honors the history of their hometown with their name – paying tribute to how O.C. Barber’s Diamond Match Company “ignited” the growth of Barberton.

Mark your calendars for this month’s Change for Change, which will be at Ignite on Thursday, August 24th from 4:30–7 pm. Proceeds will support Diamond Sports Little League.
