Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Can I Get Your Beer Delivered?

As of mid-January 2022 we have discontinued sales of our beer through our website. Our beer is available for purchase at our taproom as well as at beer retailers throughout Ohio. Our beer is also available via the Brewker subscription service.

Please utilize our beer finder to find a retailer near you.

Who Distributes Your Beer?

Currently, Land-Grant Beer is distributed in Central Ohio by the Columbus Distributing Company / Delmar Distributing.

Southeast Beverage distributes our beer in Southeast Ohio.

Metesich distrubutes our beer in Eastern Ohio. 

We are self distributed elsewhere in Ohio, including the Dayton area.

If you are interested in carrying Land-Grant beer, please use the contact form above to get in touch.

Do You Distribute to My Town/State?

Currently, Land-Grant Beer is distributed extensively throughout the Columbus and Central Ohio Area. Our beer is also distributed to South East Ohio and the Dayton area. We occasionally send a very limited amount of beer to Cincinnati and Cleveland. We are currently not distributed anywhere outside of the state of Ohio.

Can You Ship Me Beer?

Due to various legalities, cost, and our need to supply our tasting room and local market, we are unable to ship beer at this time.

I'm a collector. Can you send me your stickers or labels?

Sure! Send us a self-addressed and stamped envelope, and we'll drop some stuff in the mail for you.

What does the name “Land-Grant” mean?
Glad you asked. Our name derives from the Morrill Act of 1862, better known as the Land-Grant Act. The Act essentially set aside federal land in each state for the establishment of public Universities, bringing higher education to the masses. There's at least one Land-Grant school in every state, and that includes our very favorite school, right here in Columbus.
Didn't you used to be called Oval Brewing? Why'd you change the name?
It's true. Land-Grant was originally the Oval Brewing Company, and that was the name we used during our Kickstarter Campaign. We decided to change the name after discovering a trademark discrepancy. It was a bittersweet change, but in the end we've come to love the Land-Grant, and think it fits our brand like a glove.
Who's that guy with the 'burns? Is he an old president?
The old fashioned looking dude you see on the wall behind our bar is none-other than Justin Morrill, the congressman who penned the Land-Grant Act of 1862, which was enacted by president Lincoln.
Why Columbus?
In short...we love it. The long answer is "We're all from different parts of Ohio, but have all ended up in Columbus at various points and there's something that just keeps pulling us back. We love its energy, support, sports, culture, diversity, and...beer! It's been a joy to run our brewery and taproom in the Capital City, and we're deeply grateful for the Community that's embraced us.

Can We Bring Our Own Food?

We work very closely with Ray Ray's, Late Night Slice, and our food truck partners, and—as a fellow small business—we want to see them succeed. For this reason we prefer that you do not bring in outside food (birthday cakes and other "special" food items are okay). Information about food at Land-Grant is available here, and the trucks are happy to work with you to meet your catering needs. If you are unsure or have additional questions, drop us a line via the contact form above.

What Forms of Payment do you Accept?

Is the Brewery Wheelchair Accessible?

Are Tour Groups and Party Buses Allowed?
Parking for larger vehicles is extremely limited and must be reserved in advance at least 48 hours prior to arrival.

Large groups are welcome at the brewery, however space inside is limited and we ask that you give us advance notice if bringing a group larger than 10 people to ensure that we are staffed appropriately.

Water bowls and treats are available at the bar.
