You won’t find a better selection of beer in northern Columbus. The owners are very personable and listen to suggestions. Essential stop!

Small store where beer occupies probably about 20% of the space. Selection is limited in number but it’s a good selection. The good thing about that store is that is seems to be exact opposite of Rozi’s up in the Cleveland area in that it seems to have a slow turnover. Not many beer-geeks seem to go there. This means you can score some interesting beers here when it’s sold out at other locations. To tell you how slow the turnover seems to be, I was there end of april 2008 and they still had YuleSmith Summer 2007. I managed to score a few Ola Dubh 30 Year Old and a few BrewDog Paradox Islay (Batch 008) that were sold out in other stores. Woman clerk was so friendly so I suspect she was the owner. A nice little beer store despite the small selection.

Best store I have encountered found it through this website. Great selection of more hard to find beers including some pretty rare ones including Westy 12 pretty often (28 a bottle). It is a well put together, professional wine and specilty beer store with a friendly staff that knows its beer and wine. Check it out if your in Columbus

This is the place to come if you’re looking for some of the highest quality beers. They may not have the largest selection but they have the best quality that I’ve come across in Columbus! Some of the things I walked away with: Peche Mortel, Westy 12, 3 different Fantomes, Immort and Sierra Nevada Southern Hemishphere.

Average sized, rolling selection of rare brewers. Deffinately an upscale establishment. Was impressed to find a WestV 12 there. They are also willing to ship, and put aside a lot of requests.

Stopped by on a visit to the area. Nice looking store, with warm tones and lots of wood cases spread around. Certainly seems to cater strongly to wine, but they do have a high quality selection of brews. Sadly, not much Founders but there was plenty of Alesmith, FFF, Bells, Arcadia, Hoppin Frog, Buckeye, and others. Really cool staff, good conversations. I’d make this a regular stop if I lived around here.

I found out about this shop on this website. I stopped in here for their beer tasting Friday and the place was packed. Never seen a turn out for a beer tasting like that before. The owner says they usually get between 60-100 people that come through the door. She was quite personable and took the time (even though the store was busy) to show me their beer selection and helped me pick out a few different Belgian brews. If you’re looking for quality beers such as Alesmith, Unibroue, Lagunitas, Rochefort etc this is the place to go.

I stopped into this store for the first time on Friday night. What I stopped into was an unbelievable beer tasting. I had no idea this was going on. Instead of just picking up a few things and leaving I decided to stay for the tasting. The cost was $5.00 and they had some top-rated beers out to taste. I’m talking, Weyerbacher, Bell’s, New Holland, Harpoon etc. As for their store selection, I think they have one of the best selections (quality wise) in the city! They carry all the Sone varieties, Lagunitas, Ommegang, Bell’s, quite a few Trappists ales, alot of Belgian’s and too many more to list. If you’re in the area, or even not in the area this shop is a must to check out!

This place is unbelievable! What an unbelievable selection! Granted, the majority of their store is wine, but the beer selection that they have is top-notched. They have top breweries like Stone, Weyerbacher, Duvel, Ommegang, 3 Floyd’s, Alesmith and so on! Service was outstanding...the owner really knows her stuff! If you’re looking for a beer shop that has quality over quantity than From The Vine is the place to shop!

Nice brightly lit store with a very Clean almost sterile feel. The beers are displayed neatly and there are numerous great finds. Not the largest selection out there, but a selection that’s pruned to offer the best. I was happy to find some Fantome here recently. Makes a perfect stop on the way into Columbus from the north. Very friendly shopkeepers.
