Hoster Brewing Company — Restaurant in Columbus

Had an incredible time at Hoster Brewery! The atmosphere was nothing short of amazing, combining a cozy, historical vibe with a great modern twist. The service was top-notch – our bartender was not only friendly but also super knowledgeable, sharing some fascinating history about the brewery, including how they have brewers' notes from the 1800s when the company first started.

The German-style beer was absolutely incredible, perfectly crafted with rich flavors. The back bar area was a true gem – they have this old bar they only paid $100 for, and seeing it in person was definitely a highlight of the visit. It added such a cool touch to the experience. Definitely worth going to see all the cool decorations including Elvis next to the Jukebox.

The patrons were all friendly, and we ended up having some great conversations. Plus, the pizza was delicious! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great beer, a welcoming atmosphere, and a taste of history. If your near the Airport it is worth going to see. Can’t...

New on this year's Columbus Ale Trail but by no means a new name in Columbus, Hoster Brewing is an unassuming hole in the wall situated in what seems to be an otherwise desolate industrial park.

I'll admit that I didn't know much about its namesake — I'm only casually aware that it has existed in some form or another a few times over the last century or so — but I can speak for this incarnation: of the six of us in the party, and every beer we tried was a cut above what's served in many of the city's taprooms.

This quality paired with the complementary snacks, functioning jukebox, and cozy Americana-meets-Irish pub aesthetic (beware the whiplash of stepping in from the barren parking lot) marks this brewery as a true diamond in the rough and certainly a new favorite among our group from this year's passport.

My only regret is that it was the middle child of the evening, as I could have easily spent our entire time...
