    As an ex-Ohioan that didn't start drinking till I moved away: when I visit home, I hit up Hoppin Frog, Fat Heads, GLBC and I try to find some Jackie O's on tap somewhere.

    Great Lakes
    Willoughby

    Pretty much in that order, but have't tried enough from Cincinnati and at would most likely shake things up, at least in the middle/bottom five.

    Should also include Portsmouth Brewing Co. They started bottling last year for the first time since Prohibition.

    In no particular order
    • Fat Heads is the best IMHO
    • Brew Kettle simple for Rajah (Black and White)
    • Jackie O's
    • Columbus Brewing Co (Bodhi is a not so hidden gem anymore)
    • GLB
    • Hoppin' Frog (tasting room is bad ass)
    • Thirsty Dog
    There's so much super solid stuff coming out these days

    Agree with most of the lists above. I would also add Rivertown to my list. They make some pretty approachable sours that I usually enjoy more than I thought I would. My list in no particular order is:
    Brew Kettle
    GLBC
    Fat Heads
    Rivertown
    Jackie O's (awesome bottle release)
    Thirsty Dog
    Maumee Bay Brewing Company
