The state of local breweries in Ohio and nationally

In 2025, Columbus was ranked as the fifth best beer city in the country. One of the contributors to that was BrewDog, which had opened breweries around Columbus and its surrounding neighborhoods.

What is the state of local breweries in Ohio, and what about beer on the national level? Are we drinking more beer than in the past or is the craft beer trend finally tuning down? Guests: Bob Vitale, dining reporter, Columbus Dispatch Joshua Bernstein, author, journalist and consultant specializing in beer Jen Burton, co-founder, Seventh Son Brewing Collin Castore co-founder, Seventh Son Brewing
