    Beer was on point. Had a great time there. But food can use improvement. Bacon jam on grilled cheese was stewed tomatoes and bacon. That's not bacon jam. Was still good and would recommend it for effort. Live band was great and I can appreciate what they are trying to accomplish. We will definitely go back.

    This was such a neat little brewery near the downtown area. I would highly recommend coming here if you are in the mood for fruity beers. My two favorites are definitely the Redheaded Cheerleader and the Strawberry Cheesecake.

    Smash burger with beans.

    I LOVED the old location...but now in its bigger location, it is what it is. Three distinct areas: the bar, indoor/outdoor room & patio. Yummy beers (Red Headed Cheerleader for me). Very limited menu but smash burger with beans was amazingly impressive. Worth a stop, especially on a nice day or when there is musicians playing.

    My evening hangout for writing Yelp reviews and winding down from a day of exploring, I had a nice time here. An enjoyable frosty adult beverage with a little bit of power for the phone and laptop. It's a friendly, local watering hole with beer brewed locally. That's a fun time for me.

    We had such a fun time hanging out at Hog Molly Brewing with our dog on their enclosed outdoor patio. They had lots of heaters spaced around and provided blankets just in case we got cold. What a great touch! You will not go hungry here as they offer snacks, they have a food truck and allow you to bring in your own food. We enjoyed our dinner with a flight of beer each. The beers were delicious! Their playbook of beers range from light to dark and offer their classic beers as well as their seasonal beers. They offer cider and wines as alternatives for those non beer loving people. The brewery is family owned by husband and wife who are active in the brewery. They came over to make sure we were warm and happy. They provided our dog with water, treats and much love. What a fun night. Please check them out! We will be back!

    Hog Molly Brewing was our second stop on our road trip to Columbus, IN. This was very neighborhood like type of Brewery, and the owners of the Brewery were very one on one with us and talked to us about the beer and the Brewery. The owners of the Brewery were a husband and wife who learned how to home brew beer right after they retired from their jobs. Martha, the wife, spent a lot of time with us talking about how the Brewery came about and how they came about with their beers. It was excellent and impressive to have that one on one interaction with the owner and learn about their history of the Brewery. The beers were very good and the decor of the Brewery was unique and exquisite with sayings all around the walls related to alcohol. I highly recommend the Session Lemon IPA and the Chocolate Breakfast Stout. They were two of my favorites. I loved Hog Molly Brewing and would recommend everyone to check out this Brewery in Columbus, IN. Another winner in my book!

    If you like your breweries to have a more intimate feel while serving great tasting beer, this place is worth tracking down. They have been open about a month and have six brews on tap. The owners were on hand behind the bar and apparently, the father and one of the sons played offensive linemen in football, which according to their website are positions called "Hog Mollies". So, you will see some football decor around the seating area. There was even a playoff game on the television screens too! The best way to find this is to look for the first side street heading south of US 31 on the east side of the elevated stretch over Indianapolis Avenue. That street leads to Depot and you take a right. The brewery is a half block away on the right. They have their own paved parking lot with some designated handicapped parking and an access ramp as well as stairs. Inside, the seating area and restrooms are to the right. The bar and additional seating are on the left. Simply place your order at the right side of the bar which is also where you settle your bar tab. I went with a flight. Each of the six brews is individually priced so you can get a 5 oz serving of as many as you select. I decided to go with four choices which included an amber, an IPA, a chocolate/breakfast stout, and I finished with a Scottish ale. I really liked the first three. The amber was nicely balanced while the IPA reminded me of a grapefruit juice with its blend of tart/bitter flavor. The stout was smooth and almost creamy tasting. Very good! I also got the Scottish Ale which is a hearty 10.1% ABV with a robust smoky taste. I am not usually a Scottish Ale drinker, so the smokiness caught me by surprise. I think this would be a really good one to eat with the charcuterie board food they have available. Although they don't have much food and only six brews currently, I hope they will consider adding more hours (Friday and Saturdays only now), and maybe add some more ales as they get better established. There aren't a lot of food options nearby (it's an industrial area), so you can use a food delivery or just plan on bringing something with you. The folks behind the counter were really friendly and upbeat making the place seem like a cool place to hang out and most importantly, like I was a welcome guest. If you are tired of being ignored at bars, give this place a try! Review #3507

    Really enjoyed my visit! I originally wanted to try their lemon pineapple IPA, but it was already tapped out. However, I thought it was really cool they had "flavor shots" (blood orange, pineapple and raspberry) to add to any of their beers. I tried the pineapple in the Hefeweizen, it was good but I really couldn't taste the pineapple. However, my fiancé added the blood orange to his lemon IPA and it was really great. This place had plenty of parking, large patio, but didn't serve food. My only complaint, is no one really followed the mandatory mask. The servers were a bit careless too, they may have had a mask on, however their noses were exposed. I wish they would follow the regulations, especially when I as the patron was clearly following.

    We went for Valentine's Day dinner, so yes, I know it's going to be crowded, but the service sucked…read moreand it was poorly run. We had reservations. Hostess asks for my name, finds my reservation, and says she doesn't know how long it's going to be. Then another lady grabs the tablet from her and yells at her to stop seating walk ins when they're fully booked with reservations and they have no tables. Needless to say we were not seated anywhere near our reservation time. Our waitress was typical of the current terrible service in the restaurant industry. Takes order, brings drinks, and you never see them again until they bring the check. They have food runners bring the food out, so if you need anything, they just look at you like a deer in the headlights and walk away. We really liked the food, which is why I gave 4 stars. The pretzel with beer cheese appetizer is worth driving there for. The burger was very tasty and prepared well. I'll agree with other people in that it is a little too pricey. The appetizers shouldn't be the same price or higher than entrees, and the $3+ sodas are just ridiculous. I can see how some people think it's too loud in there, but I guarantee tonight was as packed as they get, and we didn't think it was too bad. I like the style of the place and the seats were pretty comfy. We would eat here again if we're in the area.

She took the time to let us know about the history, the quality of the local-sourced food, her personal recommendations for beer and food. She was exactly what we love about trying a new brewery and sitting at the bar. She let us try a few samples and we found some pretty good brews. These are lighter than our personal preference in craft brews, but they were delicious. The food was amazing. My husband had the burger and I had the Caesar salad. Very good!!!! The overall vibe of the brewery combines elements of history with the pride of keeping things fresh and modern. It's a really nice balance. The brewery is situated right on the river and once the boardwalk and construction is done, it's going to be beautiful!!!! It's still beautiful and the construction didn't affect us at all, but it's an exciting project that Sally told us about. Highly recommend stopping here for some food and drinks. We loved it and heard the brunch is the best around.

    Upland Columbus is filled with upscale historical character, offers great craft beer, tasty food…read moreand superb service. The building sits on the banks of Driftwood River (now called East Fork White River) and offers spectacular views of the famous Robert N. Stewart Bridge in Columbus, Indiana. Upland Brewing Company is a local brewery that started in Bloomington, Indiana in 1998. Now, they have a number of popular restaurants/pubs across Indiana. The building, built in 1871, served as the Pump House supplying water to the city of Columbus, Indiana. The Pump House faced financial, water and quality challenges over the years, but was instrumental in industrial growth of the city. The Pump House operated until 1950, when the city moved to well water. The Pump House served a number of businesses and organizations since 1950. Upland opened the pub in 2016. We were greeted and promptly seated in the bar when we entered. Our server/bartender, Jess, was attentive and friendly. Several other servers also engaged with us, as well. One brought me a fascinating pamphlet describing the history of the building because I was curious. We arrived in time to sample their 3:00 - 5:00 pm Happy Hour. (I love a good Happy Hour.) We ordered Dragonfly IPAs, which went down smooth on a hot summer day. We also enjoyed a couple of sliders from the Happy Hour menu. The Bad Elmer's Fav burger was good with lots of bacon but my favorite was the Hoosier Tenderloin. I should note that much of the food is locally sourced. The building has a large dining room, bar, private dining, private event room, and a fabulous patio with river views. The landscaping is gorgeous. Their signature beers are available for purchase to go along with the logo shirt and a few other logo items. I highly recommend a visit. The food and beer are first class. The setting is lovely and service is attentive.

I was thrilled when I realized it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying! They do an incredible job creating unique, fruit-forward beers. They even make a sour IPA that tastes almost like a margarita--bright, refreshing, and not overly hoppy at all. A flight was the perfect way to try several flavors. The food portions were huge! We ordered the brisket nachos and a mushroom burger without realizing the burger was a double. It was so much food, and everything was delicious.

My girlfriend ordered a Bloody Mary for her drink and we got the Loaded Pulled Pork Fries for an appetizer. The fries were tasty, only complaint is they could've used more of the BBQ sauce due to the pork being a bit bland on its own. The fries were crunchy and seasoned well. The Bloody Mary was good, not the best she had ever had but it was good. She really enjoyed the "snacky snacks" on the top. We then ordered the Margherita pizza. It came out looking visually great. Upon tasting it was a tasty pizza. Would we order it again, I don't think so, but that is because it just isn't our normal go to. It was nice to try and a pleasant experience. When we eventually return we will try a different pizza and hope to enjoy it better.
