From The Vine

February 18, 2009
I’ve been shopping in this store for at least a year now..they have the best selection in the city in my opinion and obviously many other’s opinions as well..they may not have the biggest selection but they have by far the best! I was very surprised at a couple of the reviews that I read that talked about pricing and selection..as for pricing they are pretty much right on with everyone else..I think mister Beerbelcher maybe needs to study up on Ohio’s prices..a bit different than other states! On my latest venture to From The Vine I picked up some Nogne O, Alesmith, Beer Geek Brunch, Hoppin Frog and some Jolly Pumpkin, and their shelves were plenty stocked!! If you’re in the area (or not) you should take the time to stop into this gem!

I am relatively new to the Columbus area, having moved here a few weeks ago, and I must say that if this website is correct, and that this is indeed the best beer store in the area, I have some reservations about my beer-drinking future here in Columbus. Compared to beer stores in Wisconsin, the selection at this store was limited and what was present was massively over-priced. This is primarily a wine store, and the beer selection is limited to one aisle. And much of that aisle seemed empty or out of stock to me. And what was present was mostly mind-blowing. Some Great Lakes, some Hoppin’ Frog, some Bell’s. I bought two Brew Master bottles I’d also seen at Blacklick Liquors. However, they did have some hard-to-find beers such as Struisse and AleSmith. And what was present was highly over-priced. The few 12oz singles were mostly priced at $4.99; many of these same singles would be less in WI. IL, or IN. The lady proprietor behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. But I can’t say her

Probably my favorite place to buy beer whenever I can get to this end of town. The sophisticated ambiance of a fine wine shop, but with a monster beer selection. The most interesting part is that they don’t dedicate a whole lot of space to beer, but they maximize the space they do have. They use about 1/3 of the space most of the other good beer stores around town use, but still manage to carry some really good stuff you can’t get anywhere else in the city. Jamie the owner is incredibly friendly and she will give you some great suggestions.

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.
