The Columbus Brewing Company was originally founded in 1830. In 1988, the name was once again chosen to resurrect the proud brewing heritage of its namesake.

Our Brewmaster brings years of experience to the brewery including an apprenticeship with a German-trained Brewmaster, completed the Master Brewers progam at U.C. Davis, and brewing at several breweries throughout North America.

We are dedicated to exploring the flavors of American hops, subtleties of German-style lagers, the intensity of barrel-aged beers & everything in between.

2$ can from vintage. Clear pale, white head fades quickly to nothing. Nose is lemony and a tad medicinal. First taste is tart lemon lime. Quite tart I'd say. Very refreshing too. Has some lime peel in there as well. The salt is there, and it sorta makes it come across like a more tart gose. Hard to find anything really negative about this except maybe you can't really tell that there is beer in there, hehehh. Finish is not bad, I think I could do a few of these. The tartness along with a decent level of carbonation feels good on the palate. Ironically, I don't like real margaritas per se.

Nice review, superspak!! My can pours orangish pale with a slight haze. White fine creamy head. Nose is sweet beefy alarming heavy malty hops. First taste is a big kick in the face, excessively boozy and it just don't care. So difficult for a pale lager lover, whew. Almost causes a gag reflex. So big, so bad, so bitchy, so bastard, so bollocks, so barbaric and bawdy. Like man, who gives a shit? After the first half can, I'm hoping some numbing sensations will begin to cool my brain. Don't know if I can finish this but my feeling is; if I can, I'll get the most buzzerie. Thanks to the massive mouth coating bitter bite, my reaction to the bitterness is rooted in instinct and genetics. Thanks to evolution, I was born with an instinctive super blech reaction to anything that tastes this nasty bitter. Towards the end, I'm thinken; this hop bomb is pretty viscous. Almost sticky in nature. So difficult to finish. It's actually making my eyes water. I'm such a wimp when it comes to these, my early ancestors were hunter-gatherers, and a primal reaction to bitterness helped them avoid poisonous plants. Certainly one of the most over achieving IPA I've had in months. Think Revolution X Hero Juicy Rush, Mad Tree Galaxy High, Green Flash Green Bullet and Lagunitas Waldo's Special. Niw my nose is runny, blah. Even if I cut this with 10 parts pale lager to one part creeper, it would still be a bonafide IPA! There you have it, the thoughts of a macro pale lager lover.

Just another stupid ass IPA that is the same as a trillion others out there. Its nearly clear pale, with a white head that goes craggy. Smells like mild diesel fuel. Not sure why so many tasters love this style especially since they all taste the same. Terribly on style. If you like IPA, you need to try this one. Big bitter ass mouthcoating experience. I did have a longer descriptive explanation of the flavors, but for some reason, when I submitted it, it didn't take and erased it all. Piss me off. But anyway, there you have it. Happy BS I say.

2$ can. Smells like orange juice on top of hop perfume. Nice thick foamy head. Very hazy light orange tinted pale. First big swig is juicy and a little viscous. From the first impression of taste, not sure if I'd call this imperial or not but it is quite boozy. Slight warming sensation on the way to the tummy. Think orange juice poured into yer favorite double impy IPA and you'll get the drift of this brew. In the middle this big ass beer is getting bigger, now I think its wandering around and crossing into impy territory. The bitterness keeps building and I realize I think its a sonnah bitch. Toward the end, that orange nose keeps my olfactory busy. Its a facade of what actually lies within. There is some co2 but it needs more to keep my mind off this brutal awakening. What a finish, glad its over. Hoping the 8+ alky kicks in soon to take my mind off this straight up rude ass bastard IPA experience. There, you have it.

The beer pours pitch black with a medium foamy beige head that diminishes slowly. Sticky patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of bourbon, coffee and chocolate. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, dark chocolate and charred malt. The finish is moderately boozy with a mocha aftertaste. Good beer all around.
