The letter ‘Z’ is severely underutilized, but with Columbus’ two end-of-the-alphabet breweries both hosting beer bashes at their respective breweries this Saturday, I finally get to dust off the ol’ ‘Z’ key.

Zaftig Too Cans Extravaganza

September 20, 12-10pm

545 Schrock Road

Featuring five wood aged versions of Zaftig’s Too Cans IPA, food from Pitabilities food truck and three live bands. Zaftig’s new brewmaster Dan Griffin will also be there to meet and greet.

Zauber Oktoberfest
