BEERCATION – Dublin, Ohio

BEERCATION – Dublin, Ohio

If you identified the Field of Corn from my last post, as being in Dublin, OH, you were correct. The last stop on the beercation was at North High Brewing in this city. The brewpub was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of Interior as The Artz House, which was originally built as a farmhouse by the Artz family in 1890.

The brewpub is located on North High Street and their motto is, “Beer so good, they named a street after us…” I enjoyed a west coast IPA, named Hopes, at the pub. It was 6.8% ABV and 70 IBU. Images of, and at, the North High Brewpub follow.
