Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant in Columbus is changing brewers. Chris Alltmont, who has been at the brewpub for nearly seven years, is leaving Feb. 3 to take a job at the new production brewery being set up by Fat Head’s Brewery & Saloon in Middleburg Heights. Keith Jackson, 29, who had worked at Columbus Brewing Co. for several years, is taking over at Gordon Biersch, which specializes in German-style lagers. ”It’s going to be a great experience,” Jackson said. “Chris is an amazing brewer and is doing a great job of showing me the ropes.
