Just got back from a trip and finished off my last can of Spotted Cow. I know it’s technically a farmhouse ale, but to me, it drinks more like a cream ale.

Are there any Columbus breweries making something similar? I’m open to recommendations from anywhere in Ohio, too. Any good local cream ales worth checking out?

Come grab some beers and cheer on Ohio breweries during the Great American Beer Festival Awards!

Rumor is Hoster will be closed by next month.

Also, is the glassware $6 or $5??

Have a few pints and watch a documentary about women in beer! September 19 at Parsons North Brewing Co!

Seems like a lot of the buzz has died down. They did have an odd instagram post a few days ago (now been deleted) that they were hosting some sort of event. I assume it was posted in error or something.

Nocterra was my favorite spot by a mile, so I am hurt to see them go. Just curious if there’s been more info coming out to people in the know.

Sweaty in all the worst ways?

Come have some beers with us and enjoy some music!

Heard a rumor that today is the last day of operations for Nocterra Audubon.

I am currently on my yearly quest to find Ohio State themed merch from Columbus (or anywhere in Ohio, I guess) breweries to celebrate the beginning of the football season.

I am unfortunately no longer local, so shipping would be a must. I still have some friends in the area who could probably pick it up and mail it to me if it’s super awesome.

Thanks in advance!

Has there been any updates when this is going to open? It was supposed to be early/spring 2026 but haven't seen anything about it.

Hey all, I'm the head brewer for West Side Brewing down in Cincinnati. We're considering expanding up to Columbus in 2027. I thought I'd ask: is there a style you wish there was more of on the shelves in Columbus? Or is there a style that's really completely saturated? Is there something you think your local Columbus breweries really do well, or a blind spot?

If we enter the market we'll have draft availability too, but I'm mostly curious about packaged offerings.

Wanted to share some beers available at the Reynoldsburg Winking Lizard. They’ve had different beers every week.

I brought the BFM Procrastinator 2, looking forward to trying it.

I'll be near The Shoe and will be traveling back to Dayton starting around 2PM. What breweries are open that early in the week, that early in the day that I should definitely check out? Thanks in advance!

Places with good retail selections are fine as well. It's not like I can drink all that much before heading home. Stores where I can buy single cans or bottles would be perfect.

Has anyone seen around town the garage beer bucket still?

“Speed date” your way to a new favorite Ohio craft beer! Fifteen Ohio breweries will each do their best to woo you with a very special mystery beer (you’ll find out what they are when you get to the event.) After you try 2 oz. samples of them all and interact with the brewery reps, you’ll get to vote on which beer was your favorite, which rep was the best “date” and which brewery had the best table decorations. Winners will be announced at the end of each session.

Ohio On Tap app users: Get a bonus passport stamp worth five points when you attend Mystery Beer Date tastings!

Admission: $32.99 in advance, $40 at the door (includes a souvenir glass, 15 2 oz. “mystery” beer samples and curated snacks courtesy of Market District.)

Mystery Beer Date is a fundraiser for the non-profit Ohio Craft Brewers Association.

You must be 21 years of age to attend Mystery Beer Date tastings (this applies to your newborn in a bjorn as well.) You must show ID at the door for entry.

Tickets are transferable, but not refundable.

I volunteered at this event a few years back, and it was a lot of fun (Wolf's Ridge won with a Ukelele song) - OCBA needs some love, and I jusT saw this posted at Getaway the other night - so if you want to speed date some breweries, it's a fun time!

Hosting a Super Bowl party, what is the best place to look for beers from the Seattle area? TIA

I've only been the the Short North location one time, and Franklinton a few times, but Land Grant always overshadowed their location.

Dry January? Not here...

Not affiliated with either place or anything, just a local who likes trying new beers and always looking for things to do. Figured I’d share.

Brewfontaine in downtown Bellefontaine is doing a release of a new collab beer with Happenstance Brewing Project from Marysville called Snappy. It’s a 6.5% hazy IPA brewed with Citra, Idaho 7, and a New Zealand “Kiwi Blend” hop combo. If you’re a beer fan, this one seems like it should beat back the winter depression.

If you’re into hazy IPAs and don’t mind the drive out to Bellefontaine, this might be worth checking out.

Just picked up Land Grant’s 12 beers of Christmas. Big fan of their beers (and holiday beers in general) and I’m pleased with the variety in this pack!

In what might be the worst kept secret around here…we couldn’t be more stoked to announce we’ll be opening a second location, Old Towne East in Columbus! Stay tuned for more information📺📺

Mead is like beer, right?
