Columbus Ohio Beer

[6midgets]

I’m going to Columbus Ohio next week for a business trip. Any recommendations on beers I should be on the look out for?

 

[6midgets]

I guess nobody has had any good beers from Ohio?

 

[Coookies58]

Columbus is busting with new breweries in the last few years. Lots to choose from. Where in Columbus will you be?

 

[Coookies58]

Near downtown try out:
Seventh Son
Hoof Hearted
Land Grant
Wolf’s Ridge

 

[CrimsonYeti]

Platform is now in Columbus.
North High is awesome
There is a good bottle shop called Savor Growl.

 

[6midgets]

Thanks for the suggestions. We will be staying in Dublin

Just saw this... Did you find The RAM?

What’s the “RAM”?

 

[CrimsonYeti]

I believe he is talking RAM restuarant and brewery. Its a chain kinda like bjs brewhouse.

All of the breweries in Columbus are surrounded by very good places to eat. But most have great food themselves.

 

[DublinOhioBrewer]

See above. He is correct. Its in Dublin. What places did you end up hitting? I noticed that no one mentioned four strings or zaftig or Endeavor unfortunately. Hoof hearted is also a classic. I'm a little late to the party though. Have you already been here or are you coming this week?

 

[CrimsonYeti]

I always forget about Zaftig. Never had anything from Endeavour.

 

[DublinOhioBrewer]

Endeavor used to be Zauber. Their beers are very good. Their Tripel and Old World Wit are excellent

 

[treacheroustexan]

I always forget about Zaftig. Never had anything from Endeavour.

I go to Zaftig to hang out with their cat, Hops.

I'm late to this post. All good recommendations above.. but I hope you made it/make it to BrewDog! It's my 2nd home there. Such a terrific atmosphere, also great beer and food.

 

[DublinOhioBrewer]

I would have to say that hops is an extremely appropriate name for any cat that hangs around in a brewery. Nicely played sir

 

[DublinOhioBrewer]

I haven't been down to Brew Dogs but I will say there Elvis juice is phenomenal. It's one of my favorite beers

 

[CrimsonYeti]

BrewDogs campus is awesome. I can't wait for the doghouse hotel to open.

 

[DublinOhioBrewer]

It's a long way from Dublin. But I need to get down there at some point. I need to hit hoof hearted too, I've heard that place is epic

 

[CrimsonYeti]

I live north of Dayton just a bit so its an hour plus for me to get there.

 

[DublinOhioBrewer]

Are there any good breweries out your way that I would be amiss if I didn't try? I don't know any of the Dayton breweries

We are going to BJ’s Brewhouse for a company dinner Wednesday.

 

[DublinOhioBrewer]

BJ's Brewhouse is a chain. Their beers are okay but definitely not going to be the craft beer style you're looking for most likely. Their amber is decent.

 

[ProblemChild]

Been to BrewDogs.

Great brewery, great restaurant (that alone is worth it).

My interpretation of the beer is well done and properly to style brews. You will not find a Pliny or a Heady here, but their offerings are very good. They also have a decent variety.

Next time in Ohio, I will go back for sure.

I’m with a group so it’s hard to go anywhere too extreme. Last night we went to Thurman’s. Tonight we are going to Pins in Dublin for a company meet and greet. I’d like to check out the Pint room while we are up here.

 

[CrimsonYeti]

Pins from what i hear is great. I think the same people own 16bit arcade bar.

I would say Dayton beer company, Toxic Brew. People like Warped Wing also. Nowhere in Particular started in dayton but they are nomadic brewers. Yellow Springs brewery is close by. As well as Lucky Star, Star City and Hairless Hare.

 

[DublinOhioBrewer]

What's your favorite Dayton area craft beer? I'll give it a try

 

[6midgets]

Columbus was fun I had some great beer while I was there. The most impressive beers Thai had while I was there was. White Rajah by the brew kettle, followed by Bohdi by Columbus brewing co. And finally my absolute favorite was Aerialist by Hi-wire brewing. Thanks for the recommendations guys it was a fun trip.

Well...you had two of the top rated ipas from the state. I think Bohdi placed 7th last year in the top 150 ipa blind taste. And White Rajah has always been rated up there too. The Hi-wire beer i think they are out of one of the Carolinas. Either way looks like some good choices.
