My absolute favorite brewery in Columbus. You can tell how much energy and thought is put into each beer they craft, all of them barrel-aged and delicious. From light and refreshing to dark and intriguing, this brewery has something everyone should be able to sample and enjoy, even if you don’t think you’re into sours. I’ve had numerous friends not think they’d enjoy their beers because of the sour label, but they end up pleasantly surprised with how good they are…more like a fine wine than your average craft beer. If you live in or around Columbus, you should definitely check them out. And they’re dog-friendly, too!

We absolutely love it here. Their beers are so fun and delicious and they’ve even started to offer some things other than sours for those that don’t like them (but even some of their sours aren’t very sour so just ask!)

If you want unique beers and a great atmosphere, look no further. Great conversation and beers I would have never thought could be

Great venue for events with ski ball, classic arcade games, darts, etc. They're very focused with the beer they craft, and if you're not into sours, then this isn't the place for you. That said, they do what they do very well. I would definitely recommend stopping by to try their selection or have them host an event.

Updated for recent visit. Still the king of sours. They had two lagers now, the one we tried was blah. The peach and apricot sour was fantastic.

Such a great space inside, I'm not a huge sour guy but they do make some top notch sours!

Excellent sour brews, prices not at all bad, could use perhaps a bit more atmosphere just to cap it all off, but a fun brewery to visit.They also house a good variety of video and arcade games, as well, a great way to have some fun while sampling their wares.

The place to come for sour beers in Columbus! They offer flights with 4oz samples which gives you an opportunity to try their various offerings. They have featured some sour IPAs and bourbon barrel aged varieties. The venue has expanded to offer more seating, some games, and they have some delivery services within the city limits. Come out and enjoy!

Amazing beer and staff. Highly recommend! Can't wait to visit again.

It's a sour beer brewery, you have to like sours. I don't like sours. I love skeeball and they have free skeeball. I'll drink one of your weird beers very slowly to play free skeeball. If you aren't understanding me, I don't like the beer but I like the skeeball.
