Columbus Brewing Company Sohio Stout

Columbus Brewing Company (Columbus, Ohio)

Located in downtown Columbus, you can find a very popular spot called ‘The Brewery District.’ Among many of the amazing local breweries, you can find the popular Columbus Brewing Company. Columbus Brewing Company, CBC as the locals may call it, has a variety of pale ales, IPA’s, and other seasonal hoppy selections, but as the colder weather starts to creep up, they release their Sohio stout. Sohio stout is the darkest beer that they brew throughout the year. They succeed spectacularly with their pale hoppy beers, and their stout is no exception.

Sohio stout clocks in with a solid 8.5% ABV, which is very well concealed in the brew. It pours with a light creamy head, and a rich dark brown color that appears almost black. The beer opens up with a beautiful aroma of coffee and cocoa, with a slight nutty essence. Close your eyes upon the first sip, clear your mind and experience the full rush your taste buds deserve for this smooth, warming stout. The taste reminds me of a nice warm cup of a medium roast coffee with a touch of dark chocolate. Not too bitter, but bold enough to let you know that its there. It will leave a nice coating in your mouth and hold its flavors so you can savor the beer for awhile. Go ahead and bask in its glory for a minute or two before you take your next sip. Its finish is a pleasantly bright acidic coffee tone. I personally enjoyed this finish as I took another whiff of my glass to smell the fresh coffee shop aromas. If you find this beer on tap, indulge yourself. If you stop by their brewpub, I’d recommend trying this with their Cajun jambalaya. The spicy shrimp, salmon, chicken and andouille sausage will accompany this smooth stout beautifully.

Rumors of Columbus Brewing Company’s Bodhi in Bottles!

Columbus Brewing Company (Columbus, Ohio)

Over the past several weeks, I’ve heard rumors that Columbus Brewing Company may start bottling their most sought after beer in Columbus, Ohio… Bodhi. This double IPA is sought after citywide by local craft beer drinkers. Due to its popularity, Bodhi can be a difficult beer to come across, and once you grab yourself a pint of this fresh hopped, citrusy and incredibly smooth double IPA, you will understand why. The 8% ABV is very well hidden, which could make this beer a bit “dangerous” if you don’t know what you’re getting into.

While enjoying a pint recently, I ran into one of Columbus Brewing Co.’s seven brewers and I decided to ask him about the subject.

His reply was, “I can not confirm or deny that we will be bottling the Bodhi, but what I can tell you is that, packaging is in the works.”

Based on the brewer’s coy response, it sounds fairly promising that the locals of Columbus may receive fresh bottled Bodhi in the near future. Until then, show them that you enjoy their fresh hopped double IPA by buying a pint. You can even enjoy a fresh pint with brunch!

Seventh Son Brewing Co. Humulus Nimbus Super Pale Ale

Seventh Son Brewing Co. (Columbus, OH)

For my first review, I was excited to visit one of my favorite local watering holes.  Local Roots, in Powell, Ohio is an awesome restaurant that uses local ingredients and, you guessed it, a wide variety of Ohio beers on tap.  I was thrilled to find Seventh Son Brewing Co. ‘s Humulus Nimbus Super Pale Ale on tap to fulfill my taste buds for the day.  In the past, I’ve had their American strong ale in the past, self titled Seventh Son, and was not disappointed by any means.  This time I was looking for something a little lighter and smooth to accompany my food, and this beer definitely balanced my meal.

Humulus Nimbus Super Pale Ale opens up with a very light aroma of citrus hops and an unfiltered orange hue. A very thin head sat atop my glass upon pouring. As I swirled it around my tongue, I immediately picked up citrus and stone fruit flavors. It was extremely smooth with just a touch of hops in the finish. Such a smooth beer at a surprising 6% ABV. I’m definitely looking forward to visiting Seventh Son’s brewery in the near future. Stop by and try a pint for yourself!

Seventh Son Brewing Co. is open:

Thursday-Friday from 5pm-2am

Saturday 11am-2am

Sunday 11am-12am
