The holidays are all about coming together and that’s exactly what Olentangy River Brewing Co. + The Roosevelt Coffee House are doing in support of the Mid-Ohio Food Collective.

Starting today, stop by the brewery in Lewis Center where it will be selling limited edition retro tins of a new winter blend coffee from The Roosevelt. For each sale, the two local drinkeries will donate $10 of groceries to Mid-Ohio to help families during the holidays.

We can’t decide what we want more — the coffee featuring notes of cocoa, pomegranate, and pine, or the vintage-themed container that hails back to the 1950s.

Olentangy River Brewing is open on weekdays at 7 a.m. + weekends at 8 a.m. where it serves coffee and café drinks.
