The local distillery’s first bottles of Genever are available at their Spirit Shop and distillery, 985 W. Sixth Ave., starting Monday, November 2.

December 8, 20213 yr Author Bridge's End Brewing to bring craft beer, food to Shawnee Hills Bridge’s End Brewing expects to open in Shawnee Hills next year. Owner and Dublin resident Bill Schirmer said he wanted to establish a brewpub in the Dublin area for years before finally finding the perfect spot for his plans: a vacant site at the intersection of Dublin Road and West Old Powell roads which he plans to transform into both a hub for community activity and a destination for craft beer seekers in that area. The 5,600-square-foot building will seat around 200 inside and another 200 across 3,600 square feet of outdoor space, including an open patio, enclosed patio and upper deck. There will be greenspace around the site as well.

December 16, 20213 yr Author First Look: Holy Trinity Brewing Company If you hear church bells ringing at Holy Trinity Brewing Company, that means someone has ordered the Holy Mutha – an 18-sample flight of the brewery’s entire lineup served on a massive board carried by two cross handles. (Sorry, no solo orderers for this one – at least two imbibers must be present to consume.) It’s one of the many pun meets tongue-in-cheek references in the new Downtown brewery’s arsenal which plans to make its debut mid-next week. Taking over a former dance studio at 155 N. Fifth St., Holy Trinity is a brewery and taproom rolled into one. Brewing happens in the back, seating and the bar are in the front of a bare-bones space that Owner Tim McFeely says fits the theme – Jesus wasn’t a rich man after all, but a carpenter.

January 11, 20223 yr Another beautiful aerial photo from RedHawkDrone on reddit - this one is an aerial of the massive Anheuser-Busch plant along I-270. Although my favorite part of it is the downtown skyline looking rather tiny about 10 miles away: https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbus/comments/rk61j5/the_anheuserbusch_brewery_from_the_sky/
January 25, 20223 yr https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-59957485 Brewdog chief James Watt accused of inappropriate behaviour Quote More than 15 ex-Brewdog workers have spoken out about CEO James Watt to the BBC's Disclosure programme. Former Brewdog USA workers said Mr Watt's behaviour made female bartenders feel "uncomfortable" and "powerless". Lawyers for Mr Watt said the allegations were false and he denied behaving inappropriately. Quote The documentary The Truth about Brewdog features interviews with 12 former Brewdog USA staff who have alleged inappropriate behaviour and abuse of power in the workplace by Mr Watt. The documentary features claims that: -Mr Watt was witnessed by staff kissing an intoxicated customer on a roof terrace bar -Female bartenders were advised how to avoid unwelcome attention from Mr Watt -Managers would try to schedule certain female staff to be off to avoid Mr Watt's visits -One bartender said she felt "powerless" to prevent unwelcome attention from Mr Watt -Mr Watt, while on trips to his US bars, took women on late night private brewery tours, leaving staff feeling uncomfortable -Mr Watt flirted with a staff member before taking her to the roof of a Brewdog building in view of other staff. So far, the response from Watt via his layers is that every single allegation is false. The manager (I assume former, now) at the Franklinton bar seems like a really stand up guy in the piece.

January 30, 20223 yr Author Getaway Brewing adding Airbnb apartment this spring Getaway Brewing soon actually will offer a getaway. The Bridge Park brewery, one of Seventh Son Brewing’s three operations around Central Ohio, is setting up an Airbnb at the Dublin development that’s expected to be available starting in April. “We want to give people more than a pint of beer,” co-owner Collin Castore said. “We want to create a whole hospitality experience.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2022/01/30/getaway-brewing-adding-airbnb-apartment-this-sprin.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
February 4, 20223 yr Author Easton's Forbidden Root brewing its own way What constitutes a local brewery? Forbidden Root’s Chicago ownership and its Easton Town Center polish give the impression of a “corporate” spot, but the reality in the brewhouse is different. Head Brewer Nick Gabriel is a staff of one and in the two years since the restaurant and brewery opened, he’s produced dozens of beers that not only fill that tap list, but are being sent back to the mothership pub and restaurant in Chicago as well. “Creativity is what they wanted and expected,” he said of the Forbidden Root ownership. “They’re hands off. They let us do our thing.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2022/02/04/eastons-forbidden-root-brewing-its-own-way.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
