Grove City Brewing Company is heading back to Columbus Brewtails 2026, and this year, we’re coming with unfinished business.
On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, some of the most creative breweries in Central Ohio will gather at Edison Brewing Company in Gahanna for the annual Columbus Brewtails Cocktail Competition—a unique event that challenges breweries to transform their craft beverages into innovative cocktail creations.
For Grove City Brewing Company, Brewtails has become more than just a competition. It’s become a tradition.
A Brewtails History Worth Raising a Glass To
When Columbus Brewtails launched, Grove City Brewing Company made an immediate impact by taking home the championship in the inaugural competition. Our team showcased what happens when creativity, craftsmanship, and locally made beverages come together.
The following year, we returned determined to defend our title and once again found ourselves among the elite competitors, finishing in the Top 3 overall.
While we narrowly missed another championship, anyone who was there knows the story. A small ingredient omission during the final round changed the outcome by the slimmest of margins.
We’ll admit it—that one still stings.
But competition has a funny way of fueling innovation.
Year Three: The Comeback Tour
Now, for Columbus Brewtails 2026, Grove City Brewing Company is back for year three.
We’re bringing the same passion for craft beverages that has earned us recognition throughout Central Ohio, along with the competitive spirit that comes from knowing exactly how close we’ve been to reclaiming the title.
Our team has spent years building a reputation for creative beverages, whether it’s:
- Locally crafted beers brewed right here in Grove City
- Award-winning wines from Plum Run Winery
- Seasonal specialty releases
- Innovative cocktail creations that showcase the best of both worlds
Brewtails gives us the opportunity to push boundaries and create something guests may never experience anywhere else.
