Good morning, Clermont County. From a converted Amish barn in Oxford, Ohio emerges one of America's largest beer competitions. The U.S. Open Beer Championship—the country's third-largest brewing contest—has become "the brewers' competition" with its affordable entry fees and over 100 judging categories ranging from traditional lagers to innovative Milkshake IPAs. This Midwest location has given Ohio brewers a competitive edge, with Third Eye Brewing recently crowned as the competition's first Grand National Champion.
Meanwhile, local authorities have launched an urgent search for 15-year-old Karma-Rose Victoria Hawkins, last seen June 18 in Milford with distinctive blue hair and facial piercings. As this concerning situation unfolds, Loveland residents should note their Independence Day parade has shifted to a new 2 PM start time this year—a significant change from last year's evening celebration that will require adjusting those Fourth of July plans.
