About Us

 

Mission

Established in 2016, our Northeast Ohio whiskey group welcomes enthusiasts of all levels to share in the love of bourbon, rye, and beyond which may not be available in Ohio. We are built on education, camaraderie, and giving back to our community—fostering connections over great pours while making a positive impact in Northeast Ohio.

Philanthropic Impact

Since 2016, the Cleveland Bourbon Co-Op has been built on more than a shared love of whiskey, it’s rooted in giving back. As a community-driven organization, we’ve raised over $170,000 for local charities, supporting causes that directly impact Northeast Ohio.

What started as small, member-led efforts has grown into a series of highly anticipated annual events, including charity bottle shares and raffles that bring people together for a greater purpose. Each year, our impact has expanded, with fundraising totals continuing to climb and reach new milestones.

Our mission is simple: great whiskey, stronger community, meaningful impact. Every pour, every event, and every dollar raised reflects our commitment to making a difference where we live.
