USA, OH: Jackie Os taking over Elevator Brewing Co. space
One of Ohios most revered breweries is taking over the Elevator Brewing Co. space, the Columbus Business First reported on October 7.
Athens-based Jackie Os will be acquiring the long-time Columbus craft brewerys downtown Columbus spot at 165 N. 4th St., the company said in a press release.
This is something weve been dreaming about for years, Jackie Os owner Art Oestrike said in the release. We are excited its finally becoming a reality and cant wait to bring Jackie Os to our supportive customers in the Columbus community.
Elevator owner Dick Stevens put his 20-year-old Columbus brewery up for sale earlier this year.
Jackie Os is renovating the nearly 6,000-square-foot Elevator brewery space, which includes a 15-barrel brewhouse. It also plans to open a carryout space next door at 171 N. 4th St., which was the site of Elevators taproom. Renovations are underway there as well.
Elevator owned its brewery space, but leased the taproom space. Jackie Os plans a grand opening for 2021 though carryout service is expected to begin in the coming months.
Not included in the deal is the Elevator Brewery & Draught Haus restaurant at 161 N. High St., which has had fully separate ownership from the brewery since 2016.
Jackie Os was founded in 2005 in Athens and has grown into a regional craft brewery serving sites around Ohio as well as notable beer shops around the world.Its Athens holdings include Jackie Os Brewpub, the Public House Restaurant, Jackie Os Taproom and production brewery, Barrel Ridge Farm, and Jackie Os Bakeshop.
