## Production

### Storylines

The event featured wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines played out on Impact! and Xplosion.
On June 11, it was announced that Rob Van Dam and Sabu would face The North (Ethan Page and Josh Alexander) in a tag team match on the June 14 episode of Impact! to determine the #1 contenders for the Impact World Tag Team Championship. North won the match, thus earning a tag team title match against The Latin American Xchange (Ortiz and Santana) at Bash at the Brewery.
On June 15, it was announced that Taya Valkyrie would defend the Knockouts Championship against Rosemary, Su Yung and Havok in a four-way Monster's Ball match at Slammiversary XVII. It was later announced that Rosemary and Yung would compete in a warmup match at Bash at the Brewery.

On June 25, Tessa Blanchard accepted Sami Callihan's challenge for a match at Slammiversary XVII due to their ongoing rivalry. On July 1, it was announced that Callihan did not want to wrestle Blanchard at Bash at the Brewery but wanted her to wrestle his Ohio Versus Everything teammates Dave Crist, Jake Crist and Madman Fulton. However, Impact Wrestling management announced that Callihan would have to compete at the event against Rob Van Dam. It was then announced that Rich Swann and Willie Mack would be Blanchard's partners against oVe in a six-person tag team match at Bash at the Brewery. It was later announced that the Extreme Rules match between RVD and Callihan would be the main event of Bash at the Brewery.

## Event
### Preliminary matches

The event kicked off with a six-man tag team match pitting The Rascalz (Dez, Trey and Wentz) against Andy Dalton, Matthew Palmer and Steve O Reno. Dez nailed Dalton with a Final Flash for the win. After the match, Brian Cage appeared to wrestle Moose but was attacked by Michael Elgin before the match, who repeatedly hit Elgin with chair shots in his injured lower back, thus injuring Cage and rendered him unable to wrestle later in the night. Later at the event, Moose confronted Elgin, which led to Moose being added into Elgin and Eddie Edwards' scheduled match, making it a three-way match.
Next, Fallah Bahh defended the RCW Heavyweight Championship against Anthony Andrews. Bahh delivered a Samoan drop and a Banzai Drop to Andrews to pin him to retain the title.
Next, Jordynne Grace took on Havok. Grace applied a sleeper hold on Havok outside the ring and Su Yung attacked Grace until Rosemary made the save, which led to it becoming a tag team match pitting Rosemary and Grace against Yung and Havok. Grace knocked out Havok with a suicide dive outside the ring, allowing Rosemary to hit a spear to Yung for the win.
Next, Rich Swann, Tessa Blanchard and Willie Mack took on Ohio Versus Everything (Dave Crist, Jake Crist and Madman Fulton) in a six-person tag team match. Swann nailed a Lethal Injection to Jake and Blanchard knocked out Dave and then delivered a Magnum to Jake for the win.
Later, Eddie Edwards took on Michael Elgin and Moose in a triple threat match. Edwards took out Moose by hitting him with his Kenny 2.0, allowing Elgin to hit a turnbuckle powerbomb and an Elgin Bomb to Edwards for the win.
In the penultimate match, The Latin American Xchange (Ortiz and Santana) defended the Impact World Tag Team Championship against The North (Ethan Page and Josh Alexander). After a back and forth match, Page hit Santana with the title belt, allowing North to pick up a pinfall victory and win the World Tag Team Championship.

### Main event
