The Best Breweries, Brewpubs & Taprooms in Columbus
There is a brewery district. Kind of hard not to be a good craft beer town when you have a whole district dedicated to making it.

We learned from the Ohio Brewers Guild that Barley's is the oldest brewpub in Central Ohio, having just celebrated their 29th Anniversary in early November of 2021. Good on Barley's for persevering when the craft beer market wasn't as on fire as it is today. Then again, maybe less competition helped.
Barley's has some interesting beers on draft, including a Christmas Ale and the Bourbon Meyer Buckeye Stout™. Solid play on words there. They also run a Firkin Friday, so if you're in the mood for Real Ale, pay Barley's a visit. You can also stop by for a growler fill, or, sitting for some breeze-shooting during happy hour. And if you need to kill some time, there is an arcade (Brewcadia) on the second floor.
