Columbus IPA is by a landslide the best craft beer produced in this town or any other town in this country. Believe it.
Pick me! Picke Me!!
Yum… Beer! My favorite would be either Weasel Boy IPA or Harpoon IPA.
I want! Current favorite is Session Black Lager.

Columbus Pale Ale. love it.
does barley’s barley wine count? if not, I’m in for CBC IPA.
This is a Ohio-Michigan competition I can get behind: Columbus IPA vs. Bell’s Two-hearted Ale.
Current faves are Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout, and Elevator’s Horny Goat Porter.
I’ll take a Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald any day!
Bells Oberon!
Another vote for Cbus IPA!
Not sure if Gordon Biersch still makes it but their Schwarzbier used to be awesome.
Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold FTW! This is a beer that I could drink in unlimited amounts. nom nom nom
Me! One of the rare few (in my circle at least) that enjoyed Bell’s Hopslam.
Oaked Arrogant Bastard is amazing.
