Downtown Lowdown Podcast Spotlights St. Paddy’s Day Beer Crawl and Its Impact on Tipp City
By: Abbi Heckel
The latest episode of the Downtown Lowdown Podcast brings a festive spirit and a strong message of community investment as hosts Tasha Weaver and Greg Enslen sit down with special guest Mike McDermott to talk about all things green and all things growth ahead of this year’s St. Paddy’s Day Beer Crawl.
Hosted by the Downtown Tipp City Partnership, the annual St. Paddy’s Day Beer Crawl returns to historic downtown Tipp City on Saturday, March 7, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The event blends Irish-inspired fun with a meaningful investment in the city’s small business community.
During the episode, McDermott, who serves as the organization’s Economic Development Chair, shared how the event has grown into more than just a seasonal celebration.
“Events like the St. Paddy’s Day Beer Crawl creates both immediate activity and long-term momentum for our downtown,” McDermott said. “When people choose to spend an evening in downtown Tipp City, they are supporting small businesses and investing in the future of our community.”
A Festive Experience with Local FlavorParticipants in the March 7 crawl will stroll through downtown, visiting participating businesses to enjoy 4-ounce pours of beer, cider, and seltzers. Each ticket includes 12 tasting tickets with each ticket redeemable for a 4-ounce pour along with a commemorative pint glass.
The event is designed to encourage attendees to explore a variety of storefronts while sampling unique flavors in a lively, social atmosphere. Weaver and Enslen noted on the podcast that the crawl has become a favorite winter-to-spring tradition, giving residents a reason to gather and celebrate before the warmer festival season begins.
Ticket prices are set at $40 and $50, with a limited number available at the door for $45. Organizers are projecting a sellout at 200 attendees and strongly encourage purchasing tickets in advance.

Investing in Downtown’s FutureWhile the Beer Crawl promises a fun evening out, its deeper purpose lies in economic development. Proceeds directly support the Downtown Tipp City Partnership’s initiatives aimed at strengthening downtown businesses, increasing year-round foot traffic, and creating memorable experiences that keep both residents and visitors coming back.
On the podcast, Enslen emphasized that events like this play a critical role in maintaining a vibrant downtown district, especially in smaller communities where local spending has a direct and visible impact.
Community Sponsors Make It PossibleThe 2026 Beer Crawl is presented by Pathways Wealth Management. Additional sponsors include Mauk Cabinets by Design, Abbey Credit Union, Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, Bash Foo, American Air Care, and Main Street Financial Group Thrivent.
Their support ensures a high-quality experience for attendees while advancing the Downtown Tipp City Partnership’s broader mission.
As the Downtown Lowdown episode makes clear, the St. Paddy’s Day Beer Crawl is more than an evening of tastings; it's a toast to community pride, small business resilience, and the continued growth of downtown Tipp City. With tickets expected to sell quickly, organizers are encouraging early registration to secure a spot in one of the community’s most spirited events of the year.
