Land-Grant Brewing Company

Land-Grant operates a working brewery and expansive beer garden in a former Franklinton factory complex. House beer remains the center of the visit, but outdoor seating, rotating food options, and event space allow the Town Street property to function as a long afternoon gathering place rather than only a tasting room.

Land-Grant Brewing Company bills its Franklinton taproom and beer garden as an unofficial Columbus Crew headquarters, showing every Crew match with audio inside and on the beer garden's big screen, and every Ohio State football game across three jumbo LED screens outdoors. The dog-friendly beer garden keeps rotating food trucks on site, Ray Ray's Hog Pit among them, for dry-rubbed baby backs, brisket and waffle fries. Order a sour or an Oh, Sure IPA and grab a beer garden table facing a screen.

Columbus Monthly calls the one room Franklinton taproom a neighborhood anchor after 12 years, with expansive beer gardens that turn into ice rinks in the winter, a music stage and food trucks including Ray Ray's Hog Pit and Buck City Sammies. Order an Oh, Sure IPA, the beer the magazine names, and stay for whatever community event is running, up to and including beer keg curling. The gardens run outdoors in warm weather and as rinks once the cold sets in.
