Savor Growl

Good spot for a great beer selection, but you really have to be careful about filling your growler here. I've been here numerous times when all of the beers out of the taps were either flat or sour. My latest trip I bought a growler of English ale. Shame on me,, I didn't sample it first. When I got it home and tried it sure as hell it was sour. I don't know what they do with their kegs or their taps, but most of the time the beer out of them is sh*t. Stick with the stuff in the can or bottle in the fridge.

Love the variety, and love the people in the shop. Because of the variety and the staff, I am giving this a three star review.Unfortunately, they do not do a good job of keeping their front clean, and allow unsavory organizations and individuals camp out in front of their building. I once ran into this organization that was very aggressive, stopping everyone that came in the door. When people are out getting beer, they don't want to feel guilty they are not donating half of their hard earned money rather than buying beer. I signed up to volunteer, but it just left me feeling uneasy on my beer run.

MUST STOP when you are in the area! There are so many beers on tap you can try along with an amazing assortment of cans and bottles to pick up. If you pass this place up, it is truly a travesty. Amazing neighborhood joint to get amazing booze!

We decided to stop in here and check it out since we were in the neighborhood. Really glad we did because they had some West Coast stuff we haven't been able to find since moving from the PNW last year like Rev Nat's and Heretic. They also carry Deschutes and Old Rasputin and have a selection of CBD beverages. They didn't have my hubby's favorite Heretic beer in stock, but the staff was very helpful and let him know they do get it when it's available.

Savor Growl is a place to fill up and sample beer. It's more like a convenience store than a bar. They have a bar with several taps. It's not somewhere for you to hang all night. They also have convenience store food and snacks. From the outside it looks like a place to pick up a pack of beer. It's like going to a convenience store and being able to have samples before you get beer. The samples didn't really cost anything, though a tip is expected. No one at the store said anything about a limit, but just don't go crazy. Try a few beers and then go to a reach in cooler and select the beer you liked. If you're hungry they also have some food. This is typical convenience store stuff like pretzels. It has lots of craft beer. It's just kind of overpriced. You can find many of the same brands in other local stores.

They do have an excellent selection of beer, as good or better than most places in Columbus. There are a few others that are on par with Savor Growl. But the management at this store it what keeps it from being top notch. They don't put prices on beers, especially the pricey ones. I don't know of any other store that does this. I also have a sneaking suspicion that they keep beers in the their online database that they don't actually have anymore. 5 stars for selection, 2 stars for customer orientation.

Absolutely love this place! They have the largest selection of beer that I know of in the area. A mix of hard to find beers, local beers and your run of the mill every day carbonated water lol. I stop in once or twice a month to stock up mainly on stouts and porters, with some IPA's mixed in. They also have a large wine selection, but I have no idea about wine, so I can't speak of the selection. The employees there have always been helpful and personable. They have a gyro truck outside that I'm guessing is only open in the summer, the gyro's are great!

Great selection of local beer and very helpful staff! I especially appreciated the large beer cave with plenty of chilled options. I'll definitely stop by again before a party to grab a cold six pack or two of local beers. I do wish there were more options for making my own 6-pack with local beers, but that's a small issue

Absolutely amazing beer inventory, one of the best in Cbus! But, watch the pricing with the clerk, I've been overcharged twice! How course I don't realize it until I get home and think about it and no receipt. Plus I drove a ways and don't want to drive back:(

I love the selection, they have so many options. I hate that they don't put prices on anything. I was ready to check out and the cashier recommended a beer that I thought was based on my beer selections, I think it was more based on how much money they could take from me. An $18 FOUR pack of 12 oz cans. Great selection, but be careful. Put prices on your stuff Growl!!
