Ohio Breweries Reach 10,000 Supporters in Push to Override Vote on THC Beverage Bill

Momentum builds as residents rally behind SaveOhioBevs.com campaign

CLEVELAND, OH — Ohio breweries, including Saucy Brew Works, the manufacturing partner for Saucy THC-Infused Seltzers, have reached 10,000 supporters in a rapidly growing statewide effort urging lawmakers to override the Governor’s veto of key provisions in Senate Bill 56.

The campaign, supported by breweries across the state including Fifty West, Rhinegeist, Great Lakes, Urban Artifact, Seventh Son, Land-Grant, Wolf’s Ridge, Jackie O’s, MadTree, and Third Eye, is mobilizing businesses, employees, and consumers to advocate for clear, responsible regulation of hemp-derived THC beverages. Through SaveOhioBevs.com, Ohio residents can contact their elected officials and urge legislative leaders to bring an override vote to the floor.

“We’re seeing incredible momentum across Ohio,” said Brent Zimmerman, CEO of Saucy. “Reaching 10,000 supporters in such a short time sends a clear message — Ohioans want thoughtful regulation that protects consumers, supports local businesses, and keeps this industry moving forward.”

The push follows Governor Mike DeWine’s veto of provisions in SB 56 that had previously passed both the Ohio House and Senate with strong bipartisan support. Industry leaders believe that support remains and that an override vote is both viable and necessary. Advocates warn that delaying action risks disrupting a fast-growing industry that supports thousands of jobs and generates hundreds of millions in economic activity and tax revenue across Ohio.
