The HOTC was only a week ago and we’re already dreaming about next year!

And if he already took you to Cleveland, then you know. 😉

Talk about making aSPLASH. 🌊🍻

Hot off its launch, Great Lakes Brewing Company brought its brand-new aSPLASH straight to the Head of the Cuyahoga b**r tent — and it absolutely lived up to its name.

We’re grateful to Great Lakes for jumping in with us and celebrating the waterways, riverfront and recreation that make Cleveland so special.

The Head of the Cuyahoga Regatta simply would not be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors.

Thank you for investing in an event that welcomed 2,000 athletes and thousands of spectators for a day of competition, community and celebration on our river. This showcase of Cleveland and the Cuyahoga River provides $1.5 million in direct economic benefit annually.

We are grateful to have you in our boat!

Cheers to our longtime friends at Collision Bend Brewing Company for once again fueling the post-race libations in the HOTC B**r Garden. 🍻

Year after year, we’re grateful for their support of the Head of the Cuyahoga and our Cleveland rowing community.

And what better way to close out HOTC weekend than raising a glass to a great partner?

After all, it’s 5 o’clock (somew)here. 🍺
