Hammers & Ales 2026

Raise your spirits (and your glass)!
Haunted Hammers & Ales is BACK — and it’s more BOO-tiful than ever!

Join the Cincinnati ToolBank on Friday, October 30th for a frightfully fun night of fundraising, friends, and festive mischief at our hauntingly good annual celebration.

This year’s event brings back the spooky vibes you’ve missed, with:

• Local brews from our Brewers Philanthropy Award finalists — all included with your drink tickets!
• Costume contest with wicked prizes (fangs optional, fun required)
• Silent auction full of treats (and maybe a few tricks)
• Delicious food from your favorite local spots
• Ghoulish games, eerie entertainment, photo ops & more!

Now in its 12th year, Hammers & Ales has raised over $200,000 to equip nonprofits with tools that help build a better Cincinnati. Every pint you drink and dollar you donate helps put hammers in hands and hope in communities.

Don’t ghost us — grab your tickets, bring your best costume, and let’s make this Halloween eve one to scream about.

Costumes encouraged. Good vibes guaranteed.
