This place is a very cool find. We stumbled on it on our way home down 71 from Columbus. It's in the middle of nowhere, but that adds to its charm. Hoof Hearted is a large brewery with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, there are both regular and high top tables, board games, card games, an arcade and a variety of unique artwork. It's a very cool atmosphere. If it's a nice day, be sure to grab a table or chair outside. It's a relaxing environment with shrubbery and a pond. The beers are plentiful and cold. There is a large assortment of options. You get your grub from a food truck parked just outside the main doors. Order and pay at the truck - they will buzz you when it's ready.Hoof Hearted was a great find for the family! Kids are welcome.

Whenever we are up this way, we always make sure to stop in for a drink! Plus it's right around the corner from Groovy Plants so both hubby and I are happy campers ;)Chill, casual spot with a great outdoor patio with a fire pit and little huts to sit in. Enjoy the beautiful pond or take your beer for a stroll on the short trail out back. Rather stay indoors? They've got plenty of table games and pinball machines to keep you occupied! As for food, they've had many options over the years but as of right now (Oct 2024), they have a Mexican food truck out front. I believe it is always there but double check. I just enjoyed the cheesiest quesadilla there. My husband and father absolutely love their beer. And they usually always have a sour on tap for me. I also like their Turbo Water (hard seltzer) - MUCH better than a white claw. They also have wine and some cocktail options so something for everyone. So go getchu some plants then go have a beer and relax by the fire. (Or wherever you choose; that's just my favorite.)

Nice place, but don't use your navigation system. It is slightly further when you approach it from Sunbury. You can't miss it. Pretty area, not far off I71 and SR 61. I'm just not into beer. Hubby is, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Lots of choices. Huge space. I'm glad I came, even if it is a specialized beer place.

If Ohio had some version of Napa Valley it would be going to Hoof Hearted after a nice relaxing day hunting for plants and stopping by nearby Groovy Plants just a mile down the road. Family and pet friendly, this picturesque gem in the Ohio countryside is an IPA oasis. Some of the best you'll find anywhere and fun names and a great vibe. Food options are limited, with nice weather maybe a food truck or a pizza from nearby Ohio Pizza and Brew, the main attraction is the IPAs that HH shells out like a dealer handing you your fix.Hazy. Juicy.Nectar. Beautiful. While you can find these beers in stores and sometimes on tap, there's just something special about this out-of-the-way brewery that makes you wonder what the hell is in the water in the pond in the back patio? Whether it's pizzas with the little league team or a nice stroll through the countryside, Ohio's own Chateau Montelena delivers on all counts. Must see!

Really nice employees. Really. And that's important. Overall, the beers were quite lame. Over abundance of hazy IPAs which all tasted similar. Only one WC IPA which was really undistinguished. No porters no stouts. The Pilsner was really ... what was it?Environment was fine. Did not patronize the food truck. But again ... the employees were really nice folks.

Great destination for great beer! They have a really nice patio out back with a pond, seating (including 3 quanset-type structures) and a trail to walk while enjoying your beer. Inside there is seating, nice restrooms, and some arcade/pinball games to enjoy for free!In the front there's another nice outdoor space with Hoof Hearted's own food truck. They do have non-beer options including a 'witches brew' frozen drink and their own hard seltzer. It's kid and dog-friendly. We'll definitely be back!

Amazing beers, awesome place to enjoy them, and some vintage arcade games too? The reviews are right. This place is amazing. If I lived closer, I'd visit often. I'm bugging my local bottle shop to stock more hoof hearted. (hee hee. Funny every time!)

The wife and I were visiting friends north of Columbus and after a trip over to the Groovy Plant Ranch we decided we were all ready for a drink! Being so close to Hoof Hearted we decided to head over there. We had seven folks in our group. We first went outside but being that it was so hot and the sun was direct we decided that a more enjoyable time would be had by all if we moved indoors. Although it was a Saturday afternoon in early August we were able to find a spot in the back of the other room.The beers I had & those of others that I tasted were all good. Nice and hazy, full mouth flavor. There was one 'beer' I drank that was not my jam- a version of a seltzer. But hey, you can't love every beer a brewery produces that's just not possible.There was what I would refer to as a food cart there. It was affiliated with HH based on the art on the truck. Served a couple different hot dogs and totchos. It was ok for quick eats but we were all still hungry. Not too long after we arrived, and had a snack, we decided that being still hungry so we ordered a pizza. It was through ChowNow so it was delivered by the restaurant, OH Pizza & Prime. The only real bummer is that I wasn't allowed to keep the sticker off of one of the cans of beer I drank. (HH always has wild can art. Many of their labels decorate our beer fridge.)It had been a heckin' long time since I've made it up to the Marengo HHBrewing! This is the first time I have been into the newer, area. The last time I was here you got your beer from the taps in the first building as you approach on the left and the back building was not quite finished (it was more of an open area with the walls and roof up). I know it's been finished for years now but it looks great & seems to flow well. I would like to explore the outdoor area as it seems there was a bit of a trail. With friends living not too far away from HHB I am sure we'll be back that way soon. (Much sooner than several years! :)) It's nice to see their expansion.

Local joint only a couple miles past the post office so it's easy to find. It's a big distinct place so even at night it's easy to see with lights along the top. There's a pond out back with a fountain and walking trails. They also have a fire pit ringed by chairs and these sort of triangles with overhead heating lights so you can hang out outside even at night. Not a very efficient heating choice since heat rises not sinks, but they tried. They have a good number of pinball machines that range from 50¢ to $1 per play with various themes. Each machine has a cup holder. There's a change machine available since they take quarters to play. The decor is hideous with caricature style art with no real theme. I'm not a beer drinker so I rated this higher than I actually feel. The drinks were all gross and tasted weirdly alike. They have nonsense names like "don't microwave it". The menu changes pretty often. They typically have a food truck outside and occasionally an event going on like a pig roast or hosting Consolidated Electric. The staff is also friendly. Sometimes there are a bunch of kids so it is kid friendly. Good games, community involvement, and outside area. Bad decor. I didn't try the food and since I don't drink much I excluded the bad drinks from my review since I'm not the target audience. My parents also hated the drinks, but they also don't drink much. Decently busy.
