Old threads lock after 6 months, so here’s an updated list for Columbus and central Ohio (note: these include my notes, which are intentionally brief, and accurate to the best of my ability):
Crooked Handle Brewing Co. - Springboro - Full contact info available. Build-out complete. Awaiting final inspection. Opening date will be announced soon.
Kindred Artisan Ales - Gahanna - Production brewery in East Columbus opening in ‘next few months,’ tap room and barrel house on Morrison Road to follow. Dates TBA.
