USA, OH: Four String Brewing Co. shuts down

One of Columbus’ best known craft breweries has shut down, The Columbus Dispatch reported on October 10.

Four String Brewing Co., which has a tap room on Sixth Avenue in the Grandview area and a production brewery on Hague Avenue in the Hilltop, closed overnight.

Owners Dan Cochran and Larry Horowitz have not responded to multiple attempts to contact them, but sources close to the owners confirm that the brewery has shut down. The Hague Avenue facility was locked on October 10 and no one answered the door there, or has answered the phone.

It is unclear if the brewery has gone out of business, or is temporarily closed. Cheryl Harrison, owner of the website Drink Up Columbus, received an email on October 10 from a Four String employee saying that the brewery had closed. Harrison had scheduled an event at the brewery in November and has now moved that to another central Ohio brewery.
