CENTRAL 

Anticipation has been running high for the opening of Gemüt Biergarten, a new German-inspired brewery and beer hall planned for the Olde Towne East neighborhood in Columbus. We almost got a taste of it this week: the brewery announced an opening date, but was forced to postpone due to a permit delay. The official opening date will be announced soon; download the Ohio On Tap app and get a notification when the brewery is open and added to the statewide passport program.

The last time Earnest Brew Works released Between the Limes, their hazy lime sour IPA, the entire can run sold out within a week. Due to demand for the popular brew, they’ll release another batch of cans at their South Toledo taproom on Saturday, August 17. You can also pick up cans of Earnest’s Oktoberfest lager, which hit store shelves around northwest Ohio earlier this week.
