Land Grant Brewing Company

This place is really big- a spacious indoor area and an outdoor area with lots of igloo areas to socialize and fire pits. They have dispensers for water and a wide selection of beers on tap.

They even sell Jeni's ice cream and they have a Mikey's late slice food truck. Outside they have an ice curling area and an ice bumper car area too.

Fun cool tap room and food trucks and curling!

Had a flight of beers, bar tenders very helpful in selections and served them up quick.

Did not have any food but the Late Nite Slice truck reminds me of Cincinnati!

Next time we'll make reservations for keg curling. They book up!

Land Grant is a good time... consistently... inside and out... all four seasons.

What really sets them apart is how they leverage their outdoor spaces with igloos, curling and bumper cars through the winter and benches, stages, and projection screens spring through fall.

Partnering with Ray Ray's and Mikey's Late Night Slice for food is brilliant.

Oh yeah, the beer! Get the Open Always homage to Buckeye Donuts. Don't let the color and ABV scare you. This is one smooth ale. Technically, it's a chocolate peanut butter brown ale, but it's good! Those ingredients are present without overwhelming the beer.

I also had a Barleywine collaboration with Gemut Biergarten which held its own, but it didn't eclipse the Open Always.

I appreciate the bartender honoring a discount that 'may' have expired. Their willingness to go the extra mile to take care of their guests is yet another reason to take a trip to Franklinton.

I hosted my team's holiday gathering at Land Grant, and it was the perfect spot!

Parking: can be tough - there is a garage not far away, but otherwise there is parallel parking throughout Franklinton.

Food: food trucks. There was Mikey's Late Night Slice (pizza) and Ray Ray's (bbq). Pizza was sold out & half of Ray Ray's was also sold out on Thursday early evening, so selection was brim. But, I appreciate that there are food options.

Drinks: local beer, cocktails, wine, high noon, etc.

Activities: recently, LG added in a winter curling and/or ice bumper car experience. You reserve an igloo & get a curling lane for 90 mins, and it holds up to 8 people. We did this, and we had a blast!! Highly recommend - we want to go back.

LGBC is brewery #246 for me. I almost passed it by because the parking situation was a little rough but I'm REALLY glad I didn't.

LGBC has a big outdoor venue with a stage as well as their indoor area. Bug bar area but lots of room on a Sunday at about noon. Connor who was working the bar set me up with a flight and it didn't take long until I was chatting happily with him as well as some other folks at the bar. It didn't hurt that he knows some homesteading folks in North Idaho who my wife in involved with. Small world!

Anyway, I don't review breweries based on the people I connect with so much as the beers themselves. I was disappointed to find no dark beers, even reds or ambers, on tap. It was all lagers, pales, and IPA's. That said I hit s flight and was duly impressed with all the beers. One really cool thing about the flight that I have never seen anywhere else was each beer came with a card which described it. Almost a trading card. Be the first one in your neighborhood to collect them all kids!

I'm not going to review each beer individually since I was far too busy enjoying the folks I was talking with but all were quite good.

I can imagine LGBC is quite the happening spot on a Friday and Saturday night. I'm not sure the crowds would suit me but YMMV.

I picked up a brisket sandwich from Ray Ray's BBQ truck outside which was some of the best brisket I have ever had.

Wherever you are reading this from, go visit LGBC. My only complaint was a lack of beer diversity. Come on "Diversity is our Strength!" Connor did assure me that dark beers do land on the menu but I just happened to arrive when none were available. :::Sad Sigh...:::

Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you!

Stopped by to grab a beer and some food. Love that there is a food truck calendar online so you know what to expect when you arrive. So many beer options, everyone should be able to find something they like. Great service and indoor and outdoor space as well.

This place was jammed on a Saturday afternoon but the weather was decent for December so we took advantage of their large outdoor space. Because it was winter, the outdoor bar wasn't open so we had to queue inside, but that was an excuse to warm up too. The stouts were delicious and seasonal- I would come back for more!

I always have the best time here! Land Grant is a great spot to go to with friends on a good spring day. There is plenty of covered, outdoor seating so I'm never feeling crowded by other attendees. It's easy to grab a drink at either the full bar inside or the smaller outdoor area; the line moves so quickly since they are always fully staffed.

Parking is the only thing that can be tricky, but that's not what I would say is of fault of Land Grant. It's just good to be mindful of when trying to get there at a set time if you're meeting people or if you're going on a busy night.

I've been to this place many times before to watch Crew Games, came over the weekend to watch OSu vs MI...

Had no idea they hosted for football games, it was great!!

The weather was perfect but so were the hosts. They had a big screen outside, lots of picnic tables, had the fire pits going and a few food trucks outside;

Ray Rays (award winning bbq)
Mikey's late night
Donut holes (?)

Waiters kept coming around to clear tables and empty glasses. Kept the place clean.

Great crowd! Will definitely be coming back to watch more games now. Thanks guys!

First time coming here with my friends. The place was packed! They had a good variety of beers but also option to order cocktails. The bartender were chill and nice. The vibe was high energy and fun. We will be back!
