CVSR & HiHO Brewing Co. Unveil “Ride Like The Wind” — A Blonde Ale with a Mission

There’s something new brewing in Cuyahoga Valley—and it’s not just along the tracks! Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR) has teamed up with our friends at HiHO Brewing Co. to launch Ride Like The Wind, a private-label blonde ale that’s as refreshing as the breeze through an open railcar window.

But this isn’t just another local craft beer. Every sip of Ride Like The Wind directly supports the restoration and preservation of CVSR’s California Zephyr Silver Line, a stunning collection of vintage railcars that once carried passengers across America on one of the nation’s most iconic streamliners.

Why “Ride Like The Wind”?

The name draws inspiration from Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind, symbolizing renewal, movement, and adventure. Much like the legendary California Zephyr whisked travelers across the country with elegance and speed, this blonde ale celebrates the joy of travel, the thrill of discovery, and the timeless spirit of the rails.

A Blonde Ale That Goes Beyond Flavor

Sure, it’s crisp, refreshing, and perfect for a late-summer evening—but it’s also a beer with purpose. With every can you raise, you’re helping preserve history, fuel restoration efforts, and keep these vintage railcars rolling through Cuyahoga Valley National Park for generations to come.

Community, Craft, and Conservation

This collaboration is more than a toast—it’s a testament to what happens when local organizations join forces for something bigger. CVSR and HiHO Brewing Co. share a passion for community, heritage, and adventure, and this partnership invites everyone—whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast, a railroad history buff, or simply someone who loves supporting local causes—to join the ride.

All Aboard! Where to Find It

Want to try it for yourself? You don’t have to look far. Ride Like The Wind is now available aboard the train, letting you sip a taste of Northeast Ohio while rolling through some of the most scenic views the region has to offer.

So go ahead—drink in the legacy, preserve the journey, and raise a glass to history on the move.
