Every year we round up all the breweries, bars and beer stores in Central Ohio where you can fill up a growler, and every year the list grows exponentially. It seems Columbus has a thing for fresh, eco-friendly beer. Or maybe we’re just into big glass jugs?

Note that some places will fill growlers but don’t actually sell the glass jugs, while other places will not fill a growler that was purchased elsewhere (some even claim it’s illegal – it’s not. We’ve checked. Twice.) We’ve tried to indicate those spots below.
