I recently went for the Jenis Strawberry Jam that was held there and had SUCH a blast. They had speciality strawberry flavored drinks from ales to margaritas and even decorated the taproom. This was such a stellar event, the wait time for drinks wasn't too bad, the live music was amazing, and the vibes were so high. Im really looking forward to any future events Land Grant hosts and will definitely be back for their weekly music trivia.

The outdoor area accommodates for those who want to hang out outside with their drinks and purchase any food trucks. They also do Land Grant run groups here. The running group sounds like fun. Run and then grab a drink after those sweaty miles. Next time you need to just relax with some good food outside and drinks come to Land Grant. Also enjoy the music as well!

I ordered the Harvest Kale Salad, didn't taste much of the dressing on the salad, but I could definitely taste the roasted sweet potatoes. For the entree I had the KFC w/ apple jam on the side with garlic fries. The chicken and bacon were both "well done" and the apple jam did not add much flavor, should have requested the spiced aioli that comes with the Hop Salt Waffle fries instead. Asked someone for some of their waffles fries, those are definitely the way to go, very good and flavorful. Took pictures of others orders, the Fall Fruit Salad - the person added salmon to the salad and enjoyed it; the beef and lamb burger and fish & chips were also a hit.

They have a great outdoor space as alwats with a food truck. Then they added the side patio AND THEN the entire garden upstairs. The space upstairs is used for all kinds of events and yoga. Alwats good service - they move quick. If you don't like the food truck, Budd dairy is across the street with plenty of options. Parking here is tricky as on-street is the only available. Budd dairy has a small lot - but it's mostly parking permit on the side streets. They also host vintage markets in the summer on Sundays. I have found parking across the street. You'll be driving a bit but it's doable. Enjoy the space!

But I did get to try a beer from Jackie O's and I was very, very impressed with it. Steve has had their beer before and liked what he had but it was only recently for me when I got to try a beer from here. The beer I had was the Iron Furnace which was a very flavorful and fun Barleywine. A type of beer I don't get often. The ABV on this one was high. Just over 14% which makes this beer a good one to share. Flavor features in this beer are lovely and you can taste Maple, Vanilla and a nice natural sweetness. The beer is nice and smooth which makes this one a real joy to drink... but I definitely recommend sharing it!

Plenty of parking. Open and airy inside, lots of wood and windows, and several big patios. No full-menu food: they have pizza sometimes, or food trucks, but of course the main draw is the beer. And I didn't have any, because I was driving and we weren't staying long, and Kid K is not yet licensed. Our group was in a room off to one side, with patio access at one end. Worked well for us (though it was raining and the roof was a little leaky.) A bit separate but right there for the bar, etc. The kid found their game cart, with both adult and all-ages games, mainly card games. Our folks got to hang out without our noise intruding too much into the other areas (which had music blasting anyway.) I got a ginger beer which was good. Service at the bar was great, friendly and patient, and she made suggestions for kid drinks (basically canned pop.) I'd definitely come back, and hopefully try some of their beers.

First time at Derive…read more Good amount of parking. The space is somewhat small but is done well. The bar has a good vibe and is where I sat. I got the Korean BBQ smash burger topped with Korean BBQ aioli, Cleveland Kraut Kimchi, gochugaru (korean chili flake) and scallion. I don't understand the smash burger craze since I like my burgers medium rare, but if I have to eat a smash burger to enjoy these toppings, I'm in! The heat, texture and combination of flavors were epic. The fries are well done too! They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and this was even after 30 minutes. Nothing fancy but done amazingly well and very quickly. My burger was out in a few minutes. I will say that the pizzas I saw coming out of the kitchen will have me coming back to try one of them. The beer was good, although I'll admit that the heat from the burger affected my pallet to truly enjoy the beers since I got a tasting flight. I was here on a Friday night between 5:45 and 7 and it was filling up until I was ready to head out. They do have happy hour on Friday from 2-5pm for $1 off pints.

I appreciate when walking into someplace I'm unfamiliar with, I am welcomed in graciiously, even though they don't know me at all. I ordered a flight of beer so I could try a few different beers. I also ordered a pint afterward of one of the IPAs I enjoyed. My server recommended some flavors to try while I was there and he was spot on. (I interacted with two different servers, one male, one female, both equally helpful and friendly). I would return, only in part for good beer, moreso it's the inviting feel I get from this place. This staff realizes that we have options around town and they made me feel like they wanted me there.

The focus on the beer was mostly on lagers, which I love. Only negative: the man pouring the taps there one of the nights has no clue what he was talking about. I asked him the difference between two of the bocks they had on tap (a helles bock and a maibock...debately the same style, if not very similar) and he said "how strong the Belgian yeasts are" in a very confident tone. I told him I had never heard of bocks being made with Belgian yeasts, and he said it's "a Cincinatti thing". I got a taste of the beer, and there were no phenolics (for non beer nerds: it had no Belgian flavors) so I ordered one and didn't argue.

We hit up several breweries on a recent trip to Columbus, and Hoster was my favorite beer of the trip. It was just well made, good tasting beer - nothing crazy. To top it off, there's bottomless self-serve popcorn and a vintage jukebox topped with a bowl of free quarters to play your favorite selctions from the decades. The collections of artifacts from Hoster's storied histories, make the walk to the bathroom like a visit to a mini-museum. I loved the homey decor and selection of tables, barstools, and comfy chairs. This place was somewhat family friendly, but it's not a huge space, so it's not great for tots that like to run around. I believe there might have been soooome seasonal outdoor seating, but nothing crazy. Lots of parking and easily accessible. The bartender was super welcoming, friendly, and generous! We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't super busy - that was welcomed! Hoster is worth a visit if you're ever in the area. Their brews rival the big names in the area.
