Another stop on the Ale Trail. It was nice to stop at a place that sells some of my favorite brews. Their beers seem to be at every supermarket and restaurant in Central Ohio. They have beers here that I've never had before.. Great selection, service, and facility. No food this time but it did look good.
What an excellent brewery situated off the beaten path. This was our first visit to CBC, even though I've had their beer hundreds of times. Plenty of parking and well tailored entrance greeted us as we arrived. As we grabbed our seat at the bar, I noticed food coming out to a few people and I knew the pizza was in my future. The chorizo pizza knocked it lit of the park and the dough was seriously my favorite part. Tons of air with a light and crispy mouth feel. It was seriously the perfect pizza and I'd put it in my top 10 for the city. Their beer was fantastic as always and I loved how I could get a few ounces at a time. It really opened us up to trying almost 10 beers on their menu and it was perfect. The staff was super knowledgeable about their menu and beer, answering all of my questions as we went along. We will definitely be back to try the remainder of the menu!
CBC has always been one of my favorite brewing companies in Columbus. I'm a huge fan of their beers, but I'd never actually seen the brewery or even knew where exactly it was located. Now they have an awesome taproom with great food that reopened this past Summer, and it's worth checking out! As with any brewery's taproom, you're going to find a bunch of delicious beer here that you most likely won't find in stores. They had a sour that was very tasty, and I probably could have kept drinking that all night. The real star here for me is the food. I wasn't expecting a whole lot being a small menu and off-the-beaten path taproom, but the food was SO good. The pizza is just as good, if not better, than any Wizard of Za pie (they look pretty similar as well), and the burger is just about perfect with Butcher and Grocer ground beef. I had some of the Za'atar wings as well which was so different from any wings I've had, but they were crunchy and juicy. The service was a little slow, but I can deal with that. Overall, this place is great with a pretty patio and large indoor seating, and I'd very highly recommend checking it out.
Holy MOLYYYY. This... this is one of the best pizzas I've ever had. When I had ordered my pizza I really didn't know what to think. May I have the cacio de Pepe pizza, I said. I had no idea what the pizza would be like, will there be pasta on it? Lots of cheese? Just cheese and pepper? I really didn't know what to expect but wow was it a great surprise. When you bite into this pizza it tastes like you are taking a journey to Italy. The olive oil seeping into your mouth and the gooey cheese pulling between your teeth and pizza as you take a bite. It was a wonderful experience for sure. I'm not sure what type of olive oil they're using for it but you just know it's a good one. The flavor is just out of this world. Well I've done enough pimping over this pizza, I want to tell you about the fun I had here! The wall is painted with a beautiful mural of dragons and aliens and it was thoroughly amazing! They also have plenty of board games you are able to play with some including uno, jenga and a similar game to cards against humanity. Will be back for the pizza!
Great beers, good food, nice open layout (with back patio seating in warmer weather). Love the wall art. Good for families -- we enjoyed the cacio y pepe pizza (very thick and cheesy-- reminded me more cheese toast than pizza) and the boneless wings (good variety of sauces available; wish it came with celery instead of carrots). Will return for casual bites and brew.
Just checked out CBC tonight for dinner and it was so amazing. I expected their drinks to be amazing but their food was out of this world. We shared the chorizo pizza and the bbq garlic parm boneless wings -- those are a must have!!! I'm still drooling over the sauce. Jeez we are definitely going to come back during the summer and sit on the patio and get those wings!!! Top notch place!!
Love having this near to my home with is a relative food desert. The atmosphere is fantastic.
Well, the ballyhooed opening of the CBC taproom has come and gone, and I'm finally sitting in a semi-retro-industrial bar stool at their stretched-u-shaped sanded-concrete bar. That's a lot of s's. (This is definitely not poetry, so nix any thoughts of alliteration).But that's not nearly as many s's as there are CBC beers on tap. 24. 12 each on 2 standpipes. That's good. Right? Yep. And there's lots to choose from in the beer-to-go category. Even better. I won't be able to evaluate all of the beers for a couple of months. I live pretty nearby, but not nearby enough to walk home. Which is a requirement if someone wants to tackle 24 craft brews in less than...oh, I don't know...6 or 7 sittings. But,I digress... There's still work to be done on the facility. Wall graphics. Rail counters along the perimeter. Patio stuff. Etc. But, it's certainly functional as a tap room. TVs? Well, I'm informed that the beer listings are replaced by OSU games. But that's it for "programming". At least for now. There's a paraphernalia section that offers t-shirts, wrist bands, hats, glasses, etc. I snagged a t-shirt. Why not? There's some cool ones. The bar was pretty full heading into 10pm. But there's quite a few tables available, too, for twosomes and foursomes. Overall, I'm optimistic about where this new location for CBC is heading. Taprooms are not "brewpubs", necessarily. And the CBC taproom is sharply focused on the beer & conversation motif of a taproom. Sometimes, simplicity is the silent genius of invention. This is one of those times. Be a wanderer. Check out the new CBC venue when you're on the west side. And take something home, even if it's only a good life experience. ****
First time trying the food and definitely will be returning again soon. Service was prompt and food came out quickly. Had the pizza and burger. Both were great. Draft list was also very good and had lots of options. Only downside is the location as it is a little difficult to get to.
Stopped by the Columbus Brewing Company Taproom with a rather large group after a banquet. The inside is pretty big, with really cool artwork and decor on the walls. They have a patio in the middle of the building, so that's where we sat. The service was good and they were able to take payment on a handheld device up front which made for closing tabs a breeze. I tried the 'Summer Teeth,' a German style lager and it was really good. It also came in a cool, mini-liter German style glass which was neat They have a full menu and the food sounded appealing. A few people in our group got the french fries. We didn't stay very long, so I didn't get the full experience but from what I can tell, the CBC Taproom has a lot of potential and I'm excited to give it another try for a meal and drinks. read more

Come for the beer and nothing else. Geesh, I wanted to love this spot since it is close by enough to bike to and we love CBC beer. The taproom was super underwhelming. Maybe it was just the day but it had a bulk-grocery-store cafeteria atmosphere to it. I expected better with it being new(er) and in a warehouse-y brewery section of the city. The service was absolutely terrible, we waited a very long time and I finally just went up to the bar to order. They weren't particularly slammed, I'm not sure what the issue was. We noticed people sitting next to us getting up and leaving. Finally, what a disappointment about the food! We had always heard the pizza was good - well that was removed from the menu. So we ordered some kids' chicken fingers for my kiddo and I got the chicken sammich. Wow. Not good. Picture included. Bathrooms were messy and out of stock. The only thing saving this from a 1/5 review is 1) the beer was delish, especially the pumpkin beer and 2) they had games available which were entertaining (especially while we waited so long for service). Plus a nice patio. Really hoping this was just an off day for them. read more

I'm so glad to see this taproom finally! I've always been a fan of the restaurant and was missing having a spot to try out CBC beer after it closed. I'll always love the old school breweries who help start a new trend. On to the taproom review... the location is a little off the beaten path, but nearby some other breweries you may be familiar with. The taproom is pretty large with a great selection of merchandise to check out. They have a ton of beer on tap to try with some old favorites like Bodhi and lots of new options to try. Service has been pretty good the few times we have been here, and they have a rotating food truck schedule. Overall a solid spot to visit when on the west side of town! read more
This is one of my favorite breweries so I was excited when I found it right down the road from where I live. It's a bit out of the way from downtown. Kind of a random location but worth the venture out. The inside taproom is great. The bar has ample amounts of seating and there is table seating as well. I love the beer selections. Always something new to try and the classics as well. Bodhi is my favorite ipa but was just in and really enjoyed the Veteran. I like to keep with flights because I can never decide on just one! They also have a great gift selection. I personally love collecting glasses or t-shirts from breweries and they have it all. Staff is also very helpful with beer selection and warm and welcoming. read more

Very average brewery. Probably my least favorite in the Columbus area. I had high hopes but their beer was nothing special. They have a wide variety of sours and IPAs that were super average. There are many better breweries in the area that I would recommend before CBC. read more
Columbus Brewing Company really is different than the now shuttered CBC restaurant. I will get off of my soapbox after saying this, I just really wish they understood the confusion of almost all Columbus residents and didn't treat us like idiots when they are questioned on the history of the two. Ok, if you happen to be a fan of IPA's then chances are you are going to be a big fan of this brewery. When you enter the taproom you get an industrial vibe. You are surrounded by murals that to me a reminiscent of BrewDog (I wonder if they got the idea from them). The bar and seating are is massive. They are not lacking on space. We slid into two bar seats and perused the menu. They offer flights of beer that consists of 4 beer pours, but you can add on as many additional tastes are you see fit. I went with the following 5: Ales for ALS (Pale Ale with $1 from each pint sold going to ALS), Guava Tap, Uncle Rusty (Red Ale), Passion Playground, and Technicolor Hat. I loved the presentation of the beers. They are basically served in over sized snifter glasses and I adored drinking out of them. The visit was easy and for the most part the beers were smooth. Again, if you are craving IPA's find your way to CBC. read more

If God Himself came up with a pizza recipe, this would be it. Best pizza I've had in Columbus and probably top-three ever and I used to live in NYC so I've had some knockout pies. The beer is top-notch too but we all know that. Can't wait to come back. read more
Great beers, plenty of space and a couple large tvs to watch games on. Parking was a bit tight in their lot. They have a couple pizza places nearby which can deliver and are planning to have food trucks more regularly, as well. They've got a patio/ courtyard with a canopy, which is nice, too. read more

First time here and sat at the bar inside. Ver clean, beer is great. Came on a a Thursday night, not crowded but we weren't the only ones there. Didn't order food, but looked a little overpriced for a food truck in the middle of no where. Beer was priced well, and I thought a good bang for your buck. Will be buying Columbus beer in the future, speaking from a Louisiana guy. read more

Finally made it to the new CBC! Love the new location and the space is amazing! I was so disappointed when the original closed, great food and beer. The new one has picked up right where the old left off! CBC has great beer and their own on-site food truck with some good and reasonably priced options. You can't go wrong with wings and pizza! Lots of new merchandise to check out and purchase also! read more
Columbus Brewing Company is about to re-open their taproom! But, until then pickup is how I obtained these beers. This promotion "Drink Like a Girl" features limited release Trail Hazer and Slay on Saison both made in collaboration with the Pink Boots Society, a group dedicated to empowering female brewers. A portion of CBC Drink Like a Girl beer sales will be given right back to the Pink Boots Society for education, job information, networking opportunities and more for female brewers. This promotion also paired the beers with cheesecake samples from our local Hilliard based female baker The Cheesecake Girl. read more

Top notch everything - very impressed. 2 of us split a pepperoni pizza and one of their 2-patty cheese diner burgers. Both were served hot and as good as any we've had in Columbus. Beers are of course very fresh, with a great line-up - something for every taste. Staff always nice and accommodating, dining room spacious and comfortable. Go if you haven't. read more
