Brews & Views – 2026

Back by popular demand – we are excited to host three Brews & Views events in 2026!

We created Brews & Views to provide a more casual, conversational space where Consolidated members can engage in-person with our team and trustees. Join us to enjoy live music, great food trucks, and a free drink while our team is available to answer all your questions!

Whether you want to learn more about our co-op, get the inside scoop on the energy world, or ask specific questions about our programs and services, we will have experts ready for you at Brews & Views.

Each membership can reserve up to two spots for a Brews & Views event – including $15 in food vouchers and a drink ticket for each spot, plus one gift ticket. Space fills quickly, so pay close attention as each event approaches!

2026 Event Schedule

Saturday, May 16: Flying Horse Farms in Mount Gilead, 9-11 a.m. – RSVPs Open April 28

Tuesday, August 4: Henmick Farm & Brewery in Delaware, 5-8 p.m. – RSVPs Open July 21

Tuesday, October 13: Hoof Hearted Brewing in Marengo, 6-8 p.m. – RSVPs open September 29

How do I RSVP?

RSVPs fill very quickly, so make sure you know how to reserve your spot!

About two weeks before each event (exact dates listed in the Event Schedule), we will open up RSVPs through an online form. Typically, RSVPs open at 3 p.m. – we will put out a reminder on our social media pages the day before.

When RSVPs open, we will send the link out directly to all members subscribed to our email, we will publish it on our social media pages, and we will add the link to this page.

When RSVPs are full, we will send out more a confirmation via email to everyone who RSVP’d. Generally, we send this 1-2 days after RSVPs fill, because we have to go through a verification process first.

For our second and third events of the year, we will prioritize RSVPs from members who have not attended another 2026 Brews & Views event. We do this to help as many members attend as possible.

Flying Horse Farms – Event Details

We look forward to gathering at Flying Horse Farms for breakfast and coffee on Saturday, May 16 from 9-11 a.m.! Flying Horse Farms is a beautiful camp right across from our office in Mount Gilead, you can learn more about them in our Key Account Spotlight!

In prior years, we have faced some long lines at this event due to challenges like last-minute cancellations. We have worked with our food trucks to make adjustments and help you get your food efficiently so you can better enjoy the event! Each food truck will offer a small menu of $5-10 items, and each registered guest will get three $5 vouchers to use at their discretion. This will help the food trucks put out their delicious food quickly, and it will give you the chance to try all of the trucks if you would like to!

Food Truck Lineup

  • The Columbus Coffee Truck – A wide menu of coffee, tea, and other specialty beverages. Each registered guest will get a drink ticket to use here.
  • ChillJoy – Three flavors of smoothie bowls; you choose your toppings.
  • Belgica Confections – Belgian waffles with a variety of toppings.
  • Roadster – Savory breakfast sandwiches and tater tots.

Live music will be provided by Brian Douglas Day.
