Land-Grant Brewing Company Brewery • $
424 W Town St, Columbus

“So many positive thoughts about Land-Grant Brewing Company. To keep it short and sweet, they are second to none. The brews they have are filled with love and compassion, their employees and atmosphere are nothing but amazing vibes. The space is so unique, it will make you question why you have never been there or wonder why you don't come back often enough. Then when you think you have seen it all, you cross the alley and what do you know, another, unique space. Paired with some food trucks, specifically Ray Rays and to go beers! I'm kinda glad I don't live right there. Man, would that be dangerous, until next time.“

“Paid $80 for an uber eats order of wings and fish and chips. Ordered extra blue cheese and extra tarter sauce. Both things central to our meal...didn't get any sauce. This is extremely annoying and frankly I'm absolutely sick and tired of basic things like this getting missed on orders. The meal is literally ruined over something so minor...do better.

Edit. While I'm keeping the above message intact, the original "service" 1 star review really was an angry culmination of repeated order delivery errors from a multitude of resturants, not just Barelys. In fact, we still ate our meal the next day (with newly acquired sauces) and I have to admit the food was awesome. Additionally, we received a very friendly and prompt response from Jason the GM who graciously accepted the feedback and pledged to spread my frustration, so it's only right to update the service to 5. Mistakes happen, and yes I was angry, but their immediate and professional response deserves a rescore. We will be giving Barleys another go and I'm confident my future review with be 5 stars across the board, from the start.“

“We recently hosted a corporate event at Hickory Room at Wolf's Ridge Brewing, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Haley was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the planning process, it was a real pleasure working with her.

I also want to give a special shoutout to Jen, who was our lead onsite. One of our team members even said she was “one of the best leads they’ve ever worked with,” and I couldn’t agree more. She was professional, proactive, kind, and made everything run seamlessly.

We’re looking forward to hopefully working with this amazing team again in the future!“
