Wife and I will be going through Ohio next week. We have Cleveland and Akron covered for possible stops but need some suggestions for Columbus and Cincinnati (Interstate 71). We are looking for breweries, brewpubs and local food along this route. Please help.
Make sure you check out Columbus brewing and grab growlers of Bodhi. Best beer in Ohio in my opinion.
I am not a local, but do spend some time in the Columbus area. I have enjoyed lunch and beer at Barley's. It is right across the street form the North Market so you can pop over to The Barrel & Bottle to some bottle shopping. And if driving through Cinci, I would take a slight detour up 75 and check out Jungle Jims. It is by far the biggest and best grocery store I have been to, and has an awesome beer selection http://barleysbrewing.com/ http://www.northmarket.com/meet-the-market/merchants/the-barrel-and- bottle http://www.junglejims.com/
