Dinner Menu

DRAFT BEER

Sounds Familiar | Mexican Amber Lager | 5% | 5/16oz.
$3/$6.50
Toasted cereal malt, bread crust and light caramel notes open up in this easy drinking amber quencher. The finish balances a touch of sweetness from heirloom purple corn, while staying crisp and dry. Collaboration with Combustion.
Sumava | Chech Pale Lager | 4.4% | 5/16oz.
$4/$7.5
Inspired by a trip to Czechia, where we made quick friends with some brewers in Prague while enjoying (many) traditional Czech beers. The unique characteristics in this one are subtle, but the riches are there if you go looking for them. Collaboration with Pivovarský dům
Fizzy Bitty | English Pub Ale | 4.7% | 5/16oz.
$3/$6.50
All over England, you will find these classic, copper-hued crushers being served to regulars and visitors alike. Balanced and approachable, we used all English malt, hops and even a heritage strain of yeast sourced in Lancashire to make the closest version this side of the pond. Collaboration with Counterbalance & Gemut.
Universal Dawn NITRO | Coffee Stout | 6.1% | 5/16oz.
$3/$7.50
We made this stout with beans from our friends at One Line Coffee, then layered in caramel and vanilla to compliment the roasty, dark chocolate malt notes. This one is served on nitro, so expect a smooth, decadent mouthfeel.
First Day Back | West Coast IPA | 6.3% | 5/12oz.
$4/$7.50
Way over there on the left coast, the dank arts are deployed to concoct pungent, hop saturated IPAs. This is our latest swing at those resinous, dry and refreshing elixirs we all love. Dry hopped with Citra and Simcoe.
Extended Pleasantries | Double Hazy IPA | 8.2% | 5/8oz.
$4.50/$7.50
We took the classic hop trinity of Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe to an amusement park recently and put them on that spinny-roundy thing so they could get nice and twisted up before pummeling this big boy with them. All of the citrus, tropical and stone fruit that you desire.
Early Access | Extra Pale Ale | 4.9% | 5/16oz.
$3.50/$7.50
Crisp and refreshing is where this little crusher excels. Strong in the tangerine and pineapple notes, but finishes with that snappy hint of bitterness that we love in our XPAs. Dry hopped with Nectaron, Citra and Galaxy.
Turned Upside Down | Fruited Sour | 5.4% | 5/12oz.
$4/$7.50
Our sour-beer take on the American classic pineapple upside down cake, this pleasantly tart beer takes juicy pineapple and layers caramel, vanilla and a hint of cherry in a swirl of quenching summer bliss.
All of the Positions | Amburana Aged Brett Saison | 8.2% | 5/12oz.
$4/9
This bright and refreshing Belgian Ale was fermented with a blend of brettanomyces, adding deep earthy notes of pineapple and cherry, then aged on an exotic Brazilian wood called Amburana which layers in notes of baking spice, cinnamon and graham cracker. Collaboration with Derive Brewing.
Good Things | PB&J Sour | 5.7% | 5/12oz.
$4/$7.50
Get ready for the nostalgia of brown paper sacks, plastic baggies and well, we aren’t judging if you had PB&J for lunch yesterday because this undeniable combo is classic for a reason. Real strawberry puree, strawberry juice and roasted peanuts in a beautiful swirl with just a touch of tart in the finish. Good things, indeed.
Post Fest | Dry Hopped Lager | 5.7% | 5/12oz.
$3/$5
Having spent many hours over many years at our friend’s cocktail bar in Denver, the good folks at Finn’s Manor came out to Columbus to make this crushable, delicately hopped lager with us. Notes of candied orange, dark berries and cereal malt. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Dry hopped with Ramosa, Mosaic and BRU-1. Collaboration with Finn’s Manor.
Strawberry Basil | Hefeweizen | 5% | 5/12oz.
$4/$7.5
To this wheat beer we add strawberries and the cooling flavors of basil, then push it further into the fruity and spicy realm with a classic hefeweizen yeast strain. The result is creamy, fruity and thoughtfully quenching.
Casting Light | Oak Aged Rice Lager | 4.2% | 5/16oz
$3/$6.50
Sure to please both the easy drinkers and hard thinkers, this extra light approachable lager was brewed with 40% rice in the mash and then conditioned on oak for two months. Plenty of subtle complexity without demanding attention. Like that one friend you should call more often.
Open World | Hazy IPA | 6.4% | 5/12oz
$4/$7.50
The paths before you are illuminated with bright mango and apricot notes and a pillowy soft, easy finish that guides you back for more. Dry hopped with an irresponsible amount of Krush and Mosaic.

PRIVATE EVENTS

We have TWO separate areas to choose from to accommodate your private party needs best:

Our First Floor Private Dining Room can seat up to 30 people. It has floor-to-ceiling glass walls that look into the brewery and main bar. A sizeable exterior window provides a great street view and natural light. This space is excellent for business meetings, rehearsal dinners, baby and bridal showers, or other big gatherings. The space is entirely private with adjustable sound for music and a large screen television for presentations.

Upstairs is a much larger space. The space can accommodate up to 100 people, but its shape can also be perfect for smaller gatherings. No elevator is available, so all guests must be able to traverse the extended staircase. Once upstairs, though, guests will have all they need. This space has a personal bar and two restrooms. Overlooking the main bar, the space receives ambient energy from downstairs therefore it is not completely private. Surrounded by large windows, plenty of light makes the room feel even more open. The North side windows all fold open to bring in outside atmosphere and fresh air. 6 televisions can provide desired viewings for games or be used for slideshows. Great for Wedding Receptions, large company gatherings, or just as a unique environment for that special occasion.
