Pigskin Brewing Company (CLOSED)

 

Our group stopped here to try the beers during our 1-day pub crawl. The brewpub is located on the first floor of a 3-story building that is located in an area that appears to be loaded with restaurants, bars, etc. The interior has a sports bar vibe to it, even to the point that the Home and Guest 'scoreboard' lists the 'home' brewery's beers and the 'guest' taps (10 of each). There is a long angled bar and plenty of seating. A covered patio area is also available. The place was not busy on a Saturday early afternoon, service was very good.

We ordered two sampler flights of 4 glasses each so that we could try most of the beers. All of them were brewed well to style, and each exceeded the typical characteristics for its respective style. The beer quality here appears to be very consistent since we gave every one of the beers a 3.75 score (out of 5).

Food is served here, and we ordered an appetizer so we could snack on something, but it took so long because of some problem in the kitchen that they gave us some chips to munch while waiting, then didn't charge us for the appetizer once it was ready. (Though by then we were about ready to leave.) Some liquor and wine is available here, so you don't have to be a beer lover to enjoy this place. We'd come back again if ever in the area.

 

 

Love the atmosphere and beer selection. They have 10+ of their own beers and quite an eclectic list! Food is ok but they said they are opening a bigger kitchen in a couple weeks. Definitely worth a visit and we will be coming back!!

As of now, not much to say about this place. It is a new brewery, so there should be hope that it ages well. The beer here is not overly-complex and sits on the problematic side of bland--that is, except for the Vanilla Porterback which is nice, as well as, the Undefeated IPA is decent.

The space in Gahanna is a lovely, and well decorated, building. However, the venue blasts some terrible pop music swill at volumes which ruin conversation and various sport on the multitude of tvs. The staff were a bit inconsistent with several being pretty good and a few being dismal. However, as I have said, this place is young and I hope it works out its kinks. We need all the great breweries we can get!!

After entering the front door and requesting a seat outside, we seated ourselves and were promptly ignored for 20 minutes while others that arrived only recently were served. The kitchen was unable to tell us what oil they fry in. They literally did not know what freaking oil they used. This is reassuring when you have a daughter with a peanut allergy and a wife with a tree nut allergy. We ordered waters for both my girls (ages 4 & 1) and they were given glassware. Nothing says kid-friendly like handing a mason jar with a straw to a one-year old. Furthermore, the beer was forgettable. There two staple IPAs were unavailable. We were forced to avoid anything fried because of the cooking oil illiteracy and that food was pretty blah. Total disappointment.

Great vibe on warm spring/summer evenings, excellent beer selections, with > 6 of their own brews, accompanied by > 12 other, mostly Ohio regional micro selections. The food is a bit disappointing; small portions and overpriced. Many quality restaurants to choose from within walking distance.
