Good morning, Franklin County. The Kelce brothers are making waves beyond the football field as New York investment firm Durational Capital takes a "large" stake in their Columbus-based Garage Beer. This partnership brings serious financial muscle to the Ohio craft beer brand, proving that when NFL stars and savvy investors join forces, business can certainly brew something special.
Meanwhile, Columbus is turning it up to 11 this week. White Castle is partnering with the highly anticipated "Spinal Tap II" in a promotion that pays homage to the cult classic's famous line. And speaking of making meaningful connections, over 400 law enforcement officers from 13 states gathered in Columbus for crisis negotiation training that's literally saving lives—as evidenced by the recent successful intervention that prevented a suicide attempt on an interstate overpass. These specialized conversation skills now handle approximately 48 hostage situations annually in our city.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🍺 Durational Capital takes big gulp of Kelce brothers' beer brand. The New York-based investment firm has acquired a "large" stake in Columbus-based Garage Beer, joining NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce as owners. The Kelce brothers had previously partnered with the Ohio beer company in a high-profile backing. This investment brings experienced financial muscle to the growing beverage brand. Garage Beer continues to expand its presence in the competitive craft beer market.
🏰 White Castle teams up with Spinal Tap II for epic promotion. The burger chain is partnering with the highly anticipated sequel to the cult classic mockumentary "This Is Spinal Tap." In a nod to the original film's famous "goes to 11" line, White Castle describes this collaboration as one that "goes to 11." This marks another strategic partnership for the Columbus-based fast food company, which has been expanding its presence in new states recently. White Castle also made headlines earlier this year by naming its first non-family president in its 104-year history.
🚔 Crisis negotiators save lives with the power of conversation. This week, over 400 law enforcement officers from 13 states gathered in Columbus for the Midwest Crisis Negotiators Conference to learn de-escalation techniques. The timely training coincided with a real crisis where deputies successfully talked down a person threatening to jump from an interstate overpass. The conference featured powerful testimony from Alex Magana, who was saved from suicide by negotiator Joe Campagna and now aspires to join law enforcement himself. Columbus police respond to approximately 48 hostage negotiation situations annually, underscoring the critical importance of these specialized skills.
