“I’m trying to mix rock ‘n roll and craft beer,” he said. “I think it’s a great combination and I haven’t seen it done really well.” So what does that really mean? Cochran is still working that out.

"Grandview Heights area", hmm? I can think of a few good spots. Good catch, OAngle.

So do we hate Kasich and the GOP assembly a little less now?

i tried to post on the story about Zauber but it wouldnt let me- so here is my comment to the other micro brewers out there and specifically Four String:
I have been hearing about all these local guys opening breweries for several months now but have yet to see any of them on tap anywhere. That being said, I haven't heard a word about Four String Brewery until 2 weeks ago when a sign went up and I saw it on tap at BW3 on 5th ave! I had a couple pints of the "Brass KNuckle" APA and it is out of this world.
This guy obviously did it right. He spent time getting his ducks in a row, perfecting his product, and taking care of all the relevant details BEFORE hyping it up so that when people start to hear about it and ask for it they will actually be able to find it somehwere. Frankly, I forgot about the other guys mentioned above after the first blurb because I couldn't find them anywhere.
The first horse out of the gate showa a lot of heart and I look forward to seeing it at my other watering holes around town. It's easy to spot- the tap handle is a SWEET ASS guitar head- keys and all. Congrats to Four String for putting out a stellar local product that speaks for itself. I expect to be hearing and seeing a lot more about this brewery in the near future.

If any credit is due here, I feel it belongs to Dan Cochran, and are the fruits of his labors from seeds he planted during another administration. Quite frankly, this probably has nothing to do with either administration, but has a lot to with a man's dream to brew good beer inspired by rock 'n roll.
Now if you have something impertinent to add here, I'd love to hear it. If the Kasich administration has made significant effort towards eliminating red tape for Ohio brewers and distillers, that would be welcomed. I know that people in the industry, particularly in Central Ohio, have been calling for change over the last few years and garnered attention from both sides of the aisle, not just the GOP. Personally, I would like to see both sides some together and rewrite Ohio's antiquated liquor laws for the better of this state and the economy.

When I called BW3 to make sure they had the APA, I was told that they wouldn’t run out because the brewery is in their parking lot. I rode right up to the open garage door where I could see Dan pouring malt into his mash tun & stirring. He’s a great guy and hospitable in spite of his obviously heavy workload (he brews after his day job is done). The Belgian Pale Ale that he poured me was spot-on; fruity and spicy but not overwhelmingly so.
At BW3 I had the American Pale Ale; surprisingly complex for the style. Hop forward with lots of citrus (orange?) and a wide array of other fruit.
He’s talking to Craig at Beerfest about a special event Beerfest week, so stay tuned for updates.

Dan gave a December interview to Drink Up Columbus. I like his analogy to building a brewery is like building a band:
Building this brewery and spreading the word is like playing in a band. You have to believe in it and work your ass off to make it happen. If you cut corners, people will know.
