Collision Bend at LOK

We’re Bringing a New Collision Bend Experience to Lorain Ohio KartPlex

We’re excited to share that Collision Bend Brewing Company is heading to Lorain.

In July 2026, we’ll be opening Collision Bend Brewing at Lorain Ohio KartPlex- a brand-new concept built specifically for this one-of-a-kind destination.

This isn’t just another Collision Bend location. From the beginning, we approached this project as an opportunity to create something different- something designed around the energy of the track, the pace of race day, and the kind of experience that brings people together.

The Lorain location will feature a full-service bar, a large taproom with seating for 150–200 guests, and a 5-barrel brewing system that allows us to do what we love most: experiment, create, and keep things fresh.

While you’ll still find some of your favorite Collision Bend beers, we’re developing an entirely new lineup brewed exclusively for this location. Expect small-batch releases, rotating styles, and a few race-inspired beers that lean into the spirit of LOK.

This space is being built to be more than just a place to grab a drink. Whether you’re here for a race, a private event, a weekend outing, or just stopping by to check it out, we’re designing it to be a place you’ll want to spend time- before, during, and after everything happening on the track.

“This has been more than two years in the making,” said Michael Grano, Partner and Manager at Collision Bend Brewing Company. “We saw early on that this was a unique opportunity to build something completely new for our brand. It’s a different kind of energy, a different kind of space, and we’re excited to bring that to Lorain.”

We’ve been working closely with the KartPlex team for over two years to bring this to life, and we truly believe it’s going to be something special—not just for us, but for the city and everyone who visits.

We can’t wait to share more as we get closer to opening.

Stay tuned.
