Hit the Columbus Ale Trail (responsibly, of course)

Calling all craft beer lovers! The craft beer scene in Columbus has exploded in the last 5 years, and this is a great way to discover the craft brews along the Columbus Ale Trail.  The trail features over 46 Central Ohio breweries, and you can mark off your visits in the Columbus Ale Trail Volume 5 to earn rewards.

Make a purchase at a listed brewery to get a stamp then earn free swag as you progress on the Ale Trail. Your first four stamps will earn an Ale Trail glass. Visit 23 sites for a a custom Ale Trail bottle opener. Visit all 46 locations, and you’ll get a limited edition Columbus Ale Trail art print by Nick Nocera at the end of your journey. Volume 5 of the Columbus Ale Trail must be completed, and prizes must be picked up before May 1, 2020.

Hitting more than one in a day? Bring a designated driver – craft beer tends to be strong!

A free copy of the Columbus Ale Trail Volume 5 can be picked up at any of the participating breweries or sponsoring organizations, while supplies last. Bring your book to the Experience Columbus Visitor Center in the Arena District (277 W. Nationwide Blvd.) or inside the Greater Columbus Visitor Center (400 N. High Street) to redeem for glasses. You can collect your bottle opener at either The Ohio Taproom (291 W. 3rd Ave.) or from the Experience Columbus locations. Pick up your print at The Ohio Taproom when you reach the end of the trail. Don’t worry – you’ll get to keep your Brew Book as a souvenir, too.
