Columbus Brewing Andyman Ale
Named after CD102.5’s beloved DJ Andy “Andyman” Davis, this seasonal CBC brew raises funds for the radio station’s For The Kids charity. Andyman Ale is a big, bold beer brewed to honor its namesake. Enjoy a pint in Andyman’s honor this weekend and know that the proceeds are going to kids in the community. Find where it’s on tap
Firkin Friday at the Smokehouse
Every Friday Smokehouse Brewing taps a new firkin, and tonight they’re debuting their new winter seasonal, Imagine. You know, like that Lennon song… making it sort of an anti-Christmas Christmas beer.. Anyway, it’s a spiced winter warmer that won’t be on tap until December 3, so grab a pint from the firkin and preview this new brew.

Drunk Brunch
Drunk brunching could make the list every single weekend for me, but now that we’re in the clutches of cold weather there are few things I enjoy more than hot brunch and a cold mimosa. Explore the Drink Up Columbus Drunk Brunch archives to find the perfect brunch for whatever mood you’re in.
