Combustion Brewery & Taproom - Pickerington

We were there on a Saturday late afternoon and it was not crowded. We sat at the bar. Service was excellent and the options for beer were extensive. You can sample / taste without charge. The beer menu is creative and sound leaving little guessing to how each of them would taste. I tried and purchased the Blood Orange Cider and it was one of the best ciders I've had. I also had a 5 oz pour of the "Inch of Dust 2024" which was by far my favorite. While 10% ABV the description was spot on and I loved it. It finished sweet so not one I would drink a lot of at one time but the 5 oz pour was perfect for me.My husband had IPA and enjoyed both of the options he had. They appear to be dog friendly based on seeing two dogs there while we were inside. There is ample parking and seating with a casual vibe. We saw another couple playing a game at the bar. The industrial look / seating can be off-putting and a bit uncomfortable for some but we really did not find it challenging. The entire place is also very clean including the bathrooms. They cycle food trucks out front and do not serve food inside. We will definitely return.

A Greek Food cart is out front and I had an authentic Greek Gyro $10-delicious! The Raspberry Cider was refreshing and little sour and delicious. A lot of covered outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating for a crowd. The service was excellent and tasters are available at no charge. It was busy for a Friday night, not too noisy, and perfect for sitting outside. The farmers market was going on, too.

Good selection of craft beers, none of which that I tried were overly hoppy. Both of the new Apricot items were really good on a hot day. We had our dog with us and sat outside in the late afternoon and it was pretty toasty, not a lot of shaded options or air moving at that time of day in July. We all enjoyed the Dos Patrones food truck while the bluegrass music going on, very enjoyable Sunday evening with the heat.

Great location and live music is usually really good. Decent array of rotating drafts and food trucks always here. Nice efficient staff and the place is really clean.

Been to combustion many times but had to stop in for their 7th anniversary!!! Congratulations guys on 7 strong years. They always have fresh beer with flavors to fit any pallet. Wonderful atmosphere with super friendly staff. Parking can be a little iffy but worth a stop. Stop in and enjoy a pint. The photos are from the anniversary celebration. We were upstairs before it got too crazy.

Cute tuck away den like space. Came during a calm Sunday afternoon. Grabbed a nice beer (it's a cider lol) but they had a vast selection. Grabbed some tacos from the food truck outside - only 3 options and all three were delicious! The Asian taco was my fav. Nice relaxed aesthetic- service was mainly at the bar, nice when you chat but that's all we did. THEY HAVE VERY GOOD COOKIES! Expensive, but good.. like 8 bucks a cookie i think was??

Went for the book swap yesterday and had the Lil Boots beer. It was great, the service - not so much. Bartender acted like we were bothering him and was only friendly to the female sitting at the bar. This is not the first time we have dealt with bartenders with bad attitudes at this location. Will definitely go to the Clintonville location next time. The service there is much friendlier.

This is place to be if you're a beer lover and looking for good delicious pours in Eastern part of Columbus. Located in pretty awkward location and not much options for parking, this is definitely a hidden gem to explore in terms of beers, vibes and their service. I stepped in for a beer and fill my growler- top notch experience. They poured the growlers, offered me the beer and even asked me if I wanted to try anything else. Their Octoberfest and Hazy IPA are not only award winning but Awesome. The Combustion IPA is perfect but I only tasted it. Blue Print and East come Easy go are on my bucket list for next time. Good service. Good Beer. Good Vibes. Highly recommended brewery in Columbus and easter region such as Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Etna, Pataskala. I loved it. Coming back again Soon.

We've been to Combustion several times and have always enjoyed our time while there. While we may not be a big fan of the brews on tap, we've always been fans of the live music and the food trucks that they offer on the weekends. (Currently, there is no live music though due to COVID). During our last visit, I did enjoy the Mayflower Macchiato! If you like stouts, you should definitely check this drink! Combustion has great social distancing protocols in place - mobile ordering for drinks/pickup, taped signs for social distancing, required masks, etc. They have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. On our last visit, we had an entire room to ourselves. The room also had a dartboard to enjoy. During previous visits, I had noticed a little play area for kids - but did not see it during our most recent visit. I really hope that Combustion brings live music back soon. I really enjoyed the live music and feel that it really enhances everyone's experience while at Combustion! Again, I really enjoy the different food trucks that they have in the parking lot on the weekends too. While they offer different food trucks, you can always order pizza from Romeo's right next door too.

Love the beer BUT....It's like drinking at a daycare!I goto breweries to be an adult and be with adults. So tired of being outnumbered by children!!! PARENTS GET A BABYSITTER! A brewery is no place for children. Can we go back to this being more of an adult establishment please!!!
