In 1836 Louis Hoster established the first brewery in what would become the Brewery District. Over the following century, many Bavarian families opened breweries and saloons, brewing and distributing beer in the tradition they brought with them from Europe. The neighborhood where they lived became known as German Village.

Today we continue their work by producing award-winning brews in every style imaginable. Residents and guests alike enjoy Columbus craft beer in taprooms, beer bars, and restaurants in every corner of the city.
