I've been a long time land grant lover. From the beer garden to their pickleball courts, they're truly a Columbus staple that I come to often. 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. read more

I came back to Land Grant yesterday for the Strawberry Festival. I feel like I may have misjudged it last time I reviewed it back in 2019. I now see why Land Grant may have more. 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! read more

Very cool Outdoor space all year! They have installed igloos in the winter and winter bumper cars, in the summers they host all kinds of events from fashion shows, to vintage markets, trivia, shows and much more. Ray Rays BBQ truck and 2 others are always on premise. Ly hunk it's a Hawaiian good truck and maybe pizza but they're always closed qhen I go. Ray rays wod thebest. Lots of easy parking around the place, o worries there. When you enter the brewery is on the right and the beer garden is on the left. The bar is open outdoors on busier days. Lots of picnic tables and places tosit. They have a games area with corn hole, basketball and party style seating. Walk through to the other side and there is a cool cocktail linage bar. With different specialty drinks. Dora does work here because you have to cross a street. The other side has basketball courts that convert to pickleball. Seating over here too and a stage. Juat a cool place to meet with friends, reserve cabanas for parties and r ing all your friends here. FUN spot. read more

Located in a rapidly re-developing area in Columbus on the west side of the side of the river, Land Grant is a hip, cool craft brewery that promises, fun times for everyone who visits. It has a vibe that is conducive to conversation, and activities that are sure to keep visitors occupied and engaged. The area where it is located is reminiscent of the early days of the Short North area of Columbus before it was fully developed. I visited, for the first time with friends and was not disappointed. There are some food trucks nearby, offering a variety of items, and I would imagine most people would be able to find something that they like. There was not live entertainment present when we visited, but it appeared that The venue was laid out for such possibilities. this might be an OK place for a very casual first date depending upon the likes and personality of the person you are with. If you enjoy craft brewing, this should definitely be on your list of places to visit in Columbus. plenty of street parking is available and there are a few lots nearby. As a tip, many of the street parking areas use a system called Parkmobile, by which parking fees can be paid remotely using a smart app on a mobile phone that is so equipped. read more

I was here for the day of the eclipse and they had a great live music stage with fun bands playing fun stuff like "black hole sun". The vibes were fun and playful, and so was the beer! They even had some hoppy lagers, my new benchmark for breweries that give a shit about beer! Also: great names. Whoever names these beers deserves a raise! read more

This brewery was so fun! We sat outside by a fire pit with our friends and enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather and sipped on some tasty drinks. They have a very eclectic playlist (loved it) and then later in the day turned on the football game. Their bar staff are really nice and let you try beers before committing to a full pour. Their bathrooms were pristine and they stock free feminine products which is really thoughtful. The inside was decorated so cute for Christmas and they have heated igloos you can rent to hangout in as well. They have a couple food trucks to get snacks from- the BBQ food truck was open today when we went. It smelled delicious, but we had just gotten coffee and pastries before stopping in here, so we stuck to beers. I tired the cerveza de la casa negra, beard crumbs, and the bonspiel and my husband tried several IPAs. We loved all of our beers! Our friends tried some of their beer/wine combos, pilsners, lagers, IPAs, and cocktails. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and we had such a fun time around the fire pit. Definitely recommend stopping in with a group for a lazy Sunday. read more

Land Grant Brewing Company - Dark Mexican lager by the fire pit - Breweries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This is my favorite brewery in Columbus, and I visit a lot of breweries. From the welcoming staff, great beer, and incredible outdoor space, Land Grant does it right. There's a large selection of beers to choose from--my favorite was the West Coast IPA--and a couple of different food trucks on site. Ray Ray's, the best BBQ in Columbus, has a food truck on site, and BBQ pairs great with beer and the outdoors. You can choose to sit in their spacious indoor taproom, or you can venture outside where they have dozens of shaded picnic tables, a large-screen TV for outdoor movies/sports, and several cabanas, as well as some outdoor activities such as cornhole. Land Grant also expanded and now offers a mini sports center with pickleball and more. If you're looking for a great place to enjoy a beer or two, great food trucks, and a great outdoor space, add Land Grant to your itinerary. read more

You cannot go wrong with Land Grant. It's always a good time there and it honestly accommodates everyone whether you like beer or cocktails. Their winter party thing with the igloos, curling, and bumper cars is a blast and I would highly recommend doing it as a winter activity to get in the holiday spirit. OSU game days there are always fun too. Their expansion they've done toward the Gravity building is so good. Last summer they did a mini golfing tournament with merch for sale that was so cute. All around I have nothing bad to say about Land Grant. It's awesome! read more

This place is huge! Has indoor/outdoor seating and extension. Place to play pickle ball and food trucks! (Not truck...) we came on the 4th of July and understandably not all trucks were open. Had some beers and walked to extension. Great vibe and tasty beers! read more

Last year we visited winter garden to check out the bumper cars (super cool) and this year we tried the mini keg curling. It was more like shuffleboard on ice but it was really fun. They also had great new beers to try especially some of their experimental options and food trucks are available as well. Always enjoy our time here, especially when we pair it with one of their acitivites. read more

Celebrated my son's 40th birthday and their private room and it was wonderful! Really enjoyed the food trucks outside, the bar service was top-notch! Had a little trouble finding a parking place and then had to login to pay for the parking, but you gotta expect that in downtown Columbus. read more

Land Grant is a good time... consistently... inside and out... all four seasons. What really sets them apart is how they leverage their outdoor spaces with igloos, curling and bumper cars through the winter and benches, stages, and projection screens spring through fall. Partnering with Ray Ray's and Mikey's Late Night Slice for food is brilliant. Oh yeah, the beer! Get the Open Always homage to Buckeye Donuts. Don't let the color and ABV scare you. This is one smooth ale. Technically, it's a chocolate peanut butter brown ale, but it's good! Those ingredients are present without overwhelming the beer. I also had a Barleywine collaboration with Gemut Biergarten which held its own, but it didn't eclipse the Open Always. I appreciate the bartender honoring a discount that 'may' have expired. Their willingness to go the extra mile to take care of their guests is yet another reason to take a trip to Franklinton. read more

Land Grant Brewing Company - Open Always (left) and Tizzie Whizie - Breweries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I hosted my team's holiday gathering at Land Grant, and it was the perfect spot! Parking: can be tough - there is a garage not far away, but otherwise there is parallel parking throughout Franklinton. Food: food trucks. There was Mikey's Late Night Slice (pizza) and Ray Ray's (bbq). Pizza was sold out & half of Ray Ray's was also sold out on Thursday early evening, so selection was brim. But, I appreciate that there are food options. Drinks: local beer, cocktails, wine, high noon, etc. Activities: recently, LG added in a winter curling and/or ice bumper car experience. You reserve an igloo & get a curling lane for 90 mins, and it holds up to 8 people. We did this, and we had a blast!! Highly recommend - we want to go back. read more

Land Grant Brewing Company - Outdoor curling - Breweries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We had so much fun at Land Grant's Gravity Experience Park Wintergarten last year that we decided to rent the heated igloo and curling lane for Gabe's 9th birthday yesterday. His top birthday wish was for snow -- and Mother Nature came through for him. Family and a couple of friends joined us for a few hours of curling (which comes with the igloo) and ice bumper cars scheduled separately. We reserved a few sessions of ice bumper cars, which were super fun, with the falling snow and groovy music! The pictures could've been better, but my glasses were fogged up, and I couldn't see a thing. The service to the igloo was fantastic, and everyone was happy with their drinks of choice, which included beer, hot toddies, hot chocolate, and my French 75. The overall experience/ atmosphere is 5-star, but I dropped a star mostly because of the food (or lack of) situation, in general. Just plan to eat before or after and enjoy the Wintergarten. We brought a few snacks for the kids it that was all good. read more

Huge outdoor food truck space with a nice mini warehouse style brewery. I was here in the winter and they had heated igloos to sit in outside and a curling rink! Very community driven and inviting! This is the place to hang out with a large group of people because there is something for everyone. Stage for music too! Highly recommend! Beer is good and people are friendly. read more

Really cool location, lots of activities. Really good beer selection great service. Would go back

To be honest, I had no intention of stopping at any restaurant in Columbus, let alone at this place... I was on my way back to my hotel, visiting from out of town. But when I drove by, the Christmas lights caught my eye. I quickly shut off my GPS, scurried around the block, and eventually found a parking spot. Upon entry, I was greeted by the elves of Land Grant. I chose my Hops, and enjoyed the bops. What made it better, while unaware, it was Trivia Thursday and not just any trivia, but music trivia. WTF - "What the Funk?" At first I thought, I shouldn't participate, I don't listen funk. But it wasn't funk! It was a great mix, and a great time. While I'm not a fan of Columbus, I am a fan of Land Grant, and WTF. read more

This place is really big- a spacious indoor area and an outdoor area with lots of igloo areas to socialize and fire pits. They have dispensers for water and a wide selection of beers on tap. They even sell Jeni's ice cream and they have a Mikey's late slice food truck. Outside they have an ice curling area and an ice bumper car area too. read more

loved our rainy afternoon drinking at the extension bar. Brittany was an exceptional server, bartender and conversationalist! she and Becca were awesome. definitely will come back again! read more

I'm not a beer person, but I love the atmosphere at Land Grant! They have a plethora of outdoor seating and dog friendly too. I love the big screen outside for trivia nights or to watch a sports game. Parking can be tough though since it's limited street parking. They have plenty of beer options and one of our favorites is the Lemon Glow. I usually do their cocktail options since I don't drink beer. The beers vary from $6-$10, give or take. They have a water fill station for you to get your own water. Also there's always food trucks outside incase you get hungry. I'm always a sucker for the Ray Ray's food truck. Grab a drink, sit outside, and sip away! read more

LGBC is brewery #246 for me. I almost passed it by because the parking situation was a little rough but I'm REALLY glad I didn't. LGBC has a big outdoor venue with a stage as well as their indoor area. Bug bar area but lots of room on a Sunday at about noon. Connor who was working the bar set me up with a flight and it didn't take long until I was chatting happily with him as well as some other folks at the bar. It didn't hurt that he knows some homesteading folks in North Idaho who my wife in involved with. Small world! Anyway, I don't review breweries based on the people I connect with so much as the beers themselves. I was disappointed to find no dark beers, even reds or ambers, on tap. It was all lagers, pales, and IPA's. That said I hit s flight and was duly impressed with all the beers. One really cool thing about the flight that I have never seen anywhere else was each beer came with a card which described it. Almost a trading card. Be the first one in your neighborhood to collect them all kids! I'm not going to review each beer individually since I was far too busy enjoying the folks I was talking with but all were quite good. I can imagine LGBC is quite the happening spot on a Friday and Saturday night. I'm not sure the crowds would suit me but YMMV. I picked up a brisket sandwich from Ray Ray's BBQ truck outside which was some of the best brisket I have ever had. Wherever you are reading this from, go visit LGBC. My only complaint was a lack of beer diversity. Come on "Diversity is our Strength!" Connor did assure me that dark beers do land on the menu but I just happened to arrive when none were available. :::Sad Sigh...::: If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand.

Best brewery I have ever been to, the outdoor area is the best. And the lemon glow is an amazing beer.

5/5 Not being from the area, I was anxious to try the brewery, However, LandGrant and Reilly made me feel at home as she intentionally crafted tasty flights to match my interests as well as challenged my scope on what an IPA could be. The staff and brewers listened to me intentionally and empathetically to craft a flight designed for my tastes and their creativity was astounding. read more

I had a lovely evening at Land Grant - despite getting our curling canceled (they over curling with beer kegs on an ice rink - reservations needed) due to overly nice weather and thus melted ice, we still thoroughly enjoyed time in the igloo and outdoor space! They do a great job of making the outdoors warm and tolerable even in the winter, and the lighting keeps it inviting and fun even after the sun set. As someone who is not a big beer drinker I really appreciate the fact that they offer rotations ciders (I got the MadMoon) as well as a couple of cocktail options! It's great to be able to go to a brewery and not worry about what you'll drink or finding a beer you'll enjoy. They also offer food trucks in case you get hungry (RayRays BBQ and Mikey's late night slice). read more

Land Grant Brewing Company - Mad Moon Cider - Breweries Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place was jammed on a Saturday afternoon but the weather was decent for December so we took advantage of their large outdoor space. Because it was winter, the outdoor bar wasn't open so we had to queue inside, but that was an excuse to warm up too. The stouts were delicious and seasonal- I would come back for more! read more

Cool Brewery with plenty of seating both indoor and out. Tons of TVs that play different sports. Good selection of beers. We ordered a flight. Street parking around. Del Boca Vista Coconut Vanilla Cream Ale - Good light cream ale beer with a hint of coconut at the end. I enjoyed it and it is super easy to drink. Inflatable Flamingo Watermelon Wheat - great watermelon flavor here and a solid wheat beer. Also easy to drink and more flavorful than the cream Ale. Sweater Vibes Apple Cinnamon ESB - Very light on the flavors but I do taste more apple with the Cinnamon coming through at the end. Open Always Peanut Butter Chocolate Coffee Brown Ale - Great coffee mocha smell and a good peanut butter taste starting off. Not too bad but a light peanut butter cup beer almost. Batch 1000 Smoked Maple Imperial Stout - quite a heavy beer but it is an Imperial Stout. You do get a little bit of the smoked Maple. More of a sipping beer. The taster we got was perfect. read more

Where to start with Land Grant! Tons of beers, friendly employees, and the most epic patio in Columbus if you ask me. Complete with stages, XL screen walls, tons of umbrella-covered tables, bench seating with electric fire places, cornhole, and so much more. tons of space for a large event, and it's a great place to hit on a Franklinton Friday. At night, tons of LED lighting decorates the umbrella tables. It's pretty cool! Land Grant is definitely dedicated to inclusive, fun culture. They often host a ton of their own events that are usually worth checking out. They don't serve food, but they usually are hosting a delicious food truck outside. It's definitely a vibe for a millennial crowd, and can get super busy on event days, so be mindful. Parking in the area can also be a little insane on busy days. read more

I was in town for the weekend so my husband and I stopped by to try some beer. It was packed! We never ended up finding a seat but had no issues standing along the fence. The line to get beer and use the bathroom was quite long but both moved relatively fast. My husband and I each got two beers because we were not waiting on that line again. Their property is huge and had live music and multiple food and craft vendors on site. It was definitely nice and they had a strawberry festival going on as well it seemed. I highly recommend this brewery but would aim to go at a less busy time if that even exists. read more

Great location and atmosphere. The beer garden has a lot to offer with out door serving and plenty of seating. Multiple big screen displays make this a perfect place to watch a game with friends.

I don't want to believe the friendly staff would try and slip ins by customers as they check out but you never know. read more

We stopped into the land grant extension and had the grumpiest bartender ever. It was at 12:30 today and it was not busy at all. My friend ordered a pickle martini and the bartender was very short with her. Wondering if we maybe read her mood wrong, so I asked how her day was going and she replied very shortly with "good and yours" without looking up from her iPad. By this point I had already closed my tab and tipped her 25%. It was my first drink of the day and we considered staying for more because of the great weather, but the bartender was really unpleasant. read more

I always have the best time here! Land Grant is a great spot to go to with friends on a good spring day. There is plenty of covered, outdoor seating so I'm never feeling crowded by other attendees. It's easy to grab a drink at either the full bar inside or the smaller outdoor area; the line moves so quickly since they are always fully staffed. Parking is the only thing that can be tricky, but that's not what I would say is of fault of Land Grant. It's just good to be mindful of when trying to get there at a set time if you're meeting people or if you're going on a busy night. read more

Great outdoor seating and good vibes. Tons of beers on top. Only one cider, which was a little sweet for my preference. Also a little pricey. I'd do a brewery hop and hit Brew Dog across the street and or just skip here and go to Brew Dog. read more

I am a big fan of brewery taprooms. This one did not disappoint. It offers a huge bar and indoor seating area, and has a giant outdoor area as well. We were there around lunchtime on a Saturday afternoon and were surprised at so few people there on a beautiful day. The selection of beer was excellent so everyone in our party of 4 could find something that matched their tastes. I had the Pool Party Pilsner. The offerings seemed heavy on lighter beers, so might not find as much if you are a big far of Ales and Reds. Also had a BBQ food truck in the parking lot that made an excellent sandwich. read more
