I get a little jealous, and possessive of our beer… I don’t like to share what we have with other cities. I will say, though… if another city is going to get a taproom, I’m ok with it being Columbus. I think it’s exciting to see our brewery culture spreading outside of this city a

Taft’s is growing, which shouldn’t come as a massive surprise. Unlike the recent news of Fifty West and their expansion to Chilicothe, this move has little to do with branding, or the story of Taft’s and more to do with a bigger picture of the type of brewery Taft’s wants to be in this ever

Who is your local brewery? I don’t mean which one do you hang out at most frequently – I mean… who are they. Call it branding if you want, call it their “story” – what I’m talking about is the feeling you get when you crack open a beer, walk into a taproom, or talk

It’s hard to believe the growth that Braxton has seen in the short (almost) 3 years since they opened their doors.

We’ve talked before about Bad Tom Smith – actually, I love talking about them. (You can read some of the posts I’ve written about the brewery to get a better idea why). They personify the story of redemption that their namesake Bad Tom had at the end of his life. From a brewery that was
