Description
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.

Sample at Brews Cafe. The beer pours a dark reddish-amber color with a medium thin light beige head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruit, yeast and malt. Medium to full body with a dark fruit and fig character, and notes of earthy yeast and roast malt. The finish is sweet candi and fruit. Pretty good all around.

Growler thanks to Brian. Pours a cloudy orange with thick creamy off white head that lasts. The aroma is tropical fruit hop, hemp, pine. Medium mouthfeel with juicy hop, nice lingering bitter finish. Very solid.
