Brewery District is just two miles south of Downtown Columbus, and it's the site of the area’s first brewery, “City Brewery.” It was opened in 1836 by three local business partners and experienced fast growth, resulting in a boom of four additional breweries. Shortly after, the neighborhood’s housing industry increased as well.
After the 18th amendment (prohibition) was set into motion in 1919, many of the original breweries consolidated and turned into warehouses. Today, gastropubs and biergartens make up the Brewery District – CBC Restaurant and Rockmill Taverns are both excellent neighborhood spots for handcrafted beer.
Residents of Brewery District not only enjoy the varieties of beer close by, but also the proximity to German Village, Uptown District, and a statue of King Gambrinus, the patron saint of beer.
