I was intrigued by their stated adherence (mostly) to the German Rheinheitsgebot that restricts the ingredients that can go into beer. 1487′s core beers follow that, but others do not. Be that as it may, I thought it was worth …

Schmidt’s, located in the Columbus’ German Village, is one of my favorite spots to eat. It’s located on an old part of town with brick streets, and has been in the same family for a very long time. I think …

North High has a few locations in the area, but this is the one located on North High Street from which they got their name. Or, as their glasses proclaim, “Beer so good they named the street after us!” The building …
