BrewDog USA

I thought this would be really cool, and was going to do this my brother, but he had to back out. Cool concept, but pricey. Beer in your room comes with a hefty price. Opted out of any beer packages, which then makes this just a hotel room. Comfortable bed. Tap list in downstairs main room is nowhere near as exciting as the UK outlets I've been too. Free beer at check in is nice, as is a beer and cookie nightcap. Two fridges in room are stocked, prices made known to you. I opted for carry-on. Might be fun for a group, but meh for a solo traveller. Lesson learned.

This monstrosity is able to keep a cool taproom vibe with large indoor and outdoor space. It is very family and dog friendly. There is a hotel attached that apparently has taps in every room and rumor has it....even in the shower. The quality of the food and beer are well above average. The service has always been great. I highly recommend a visit if you're visiting Columbus.

 

 

Great place went there with my wife for the first time recently. Great beer, friendly staff and very, very dog friendly. Next time we will bring our French Bulldog for sure they even have a dog park with activities. You can even bring your dog to the restaurant. Great food and very trendy hotel rooms and a nice free breakfast in the morning.

The Hotel is awesome, very clean with an insane beer book selection in our room. I got to peruse Phil Markowski's Farmhouse Ales book that I've always wanted to check out. The tap in the room was not working perfectly but I was able to resolve it myself. The breakfast including with the room was top notch, very fresh. Food in the dining room was very good and the draft list was very good as well. Beer fridge in the room included some unexpected gems like la vermontoise, speedway stout cans etc. I would definitely recommend staying here. We were also able to purchase single cans to go, some of which were canned the night prior.

 

 

 

We went here as a group - my wife, daughter, son in law, and two year old grandson. My daughter's family was considering moving to the area (I don't think they will). It's a bit out of the way.

While we were there, I think only the Punk was brewed on site and all other taps were from Scotland or guests (like Jackie O's and other Ohio brewers).

The place is new and huge - a giant industrial building. All kinds of work was going on. There was a good crowd for a Wednesday night. We had fun in the outdoor area playing cornhole and stuff.

The selection was good- both theirs (which are often weirdly Scottish tasting) and the guests. Service was so-so. The outdoor menu was limited due to new kitchen, they said. The food was pretentious but good.

 

Update: 7/22/17 We stopped here again for beers and had some food this time. It was a Saturday, mid-afternoon and the place was crowded; however, we got one of the last few tables right away. The food items that we had were typical pub sandwiches, and friends that were with us split a pizza. They thoroughly enjoyed the pizza, but we felt that our sandwiches were nothing outstanding, although they were good. All rating characteristics above are unchanged as a result of this visit, however, the food rating is now added. It's a great experience to visit here, and we'll be back again.

We stopped here just for a quick beer and to check out this new brewery. The entrance into the pub is thru a large merchandise area, but we didn't have time to look. The industrial look usually does not fit my needs to have good Vibe, but this one works well; maybe it's that big, lighted BREWDOG sign over the bar. The large overhead doors were open to the patio area which adds to the ambiance, but we sat close to the bar. We had just one beer each and then had to hit the road. This place is close enough to the highway where we travel to visit family a couple times per year, so we'll plan a longer visit next time so that we can try more of the beers and have a meal. This brewery is very worthy of a visit.

Spacious and new, the only US location for this Scotland-based enterprise. Hard to find any faults, since everything is shiny and new; food and service are very good, and the beer is fresh, with a wide variety of offerings. A bit of a drive to Canal Winchester from downtown Columbus, but worth it.

 

 

The place people love or hate or have never heard of. I'm a full on worshiper and Equity punk. When I found out they were building their USA HQ 1.5 hours from my front door, I went nuts. Fanboy aside, they've had some minor issues at the USA spot. First off, it's amazing. So awesome and total their style. The only problem is the good people of Columbus were not quite ready for what they bring or are about. Plus it's not really in Columbus. It's in Canal Winchester. People didn't like waiting 2 hours to get a table, They are having trouble separating the restaurant from the awesome beer drinking oasis. They have really improved this by adding another inside bar and an outside bar. They are also up and running and brewing a handful of beers, Once they really get in full swing, this will be a destination for beer lovers all over the country.
