Brewing beer has been so prevalent in our community’s history that it’s been said that alcohol fueled Columbus’ economy by providing jobs and contrib- uting to charitable causes and business enterprises. From the creation of breweries in the early days of Columbus to today’s popular craft brewers, beer has played a significant role in the history of the city. The Charles Y. and Frances N. Lazarus legacy forum that celebrates Columbus’ history, features the story of beer and breweries in Columbus. Panelists Jay Hoster, great-great- grandson of Columbus brewer Louis Hoster, Megan Wood, director of muse- um and library Services for Ohio History Connection and others will tap the rich brewery history in Columbus. In the 1980s, as part of their efforts to redevelop the area just southwest of downtown, the Edwards Companies coined the term Brewery District to describe the neighborhood of historic breweries that once thrived along Front Street. German immigrants to Columbus in 19th century settled in that area, because it was less expensive living “down-stream” and because of a plenti- ful water supply from natural springs for their breweries. Drive by today and you can see the Hoster and Schlee names on the top of the buildings noting the breweries and families that worked and lived nearby. On the east side of High Street, many of the German immigrants established their homes creating what would later become the revived historic German Vil- lage. On Front street at the “dip” in the road, Hoster established the L. Hoster Brewing Company in 1836, which be- came the largest brewery in the area. Other breweries of the early era included Schlee, Schlegel, Blenkner, Gambrinus, Washington, Born, City Park and combinations of these names representing various brewery partner- ships. Toward the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the breweries lost favor in the community. Anti-immigrant and specifically anti-German senti- ment grew to a crescendo when the US entered World War I in 1917. Concurrently, the temperance move- ment was gaining attention in Hillsboro, Ohio where the Woman’s Christian Tem- perance Union organized in 1873. Due to overwhelming support of its mission, the Anti-Saloon League moved its headquarters to Westerville in 1909. Even though Ohio had voted 58 of its 88 counties dry in 1917, the final blow for Columbus’ breweries didn’t come until the 18th amendment in 1919 for the prohibition of alcoholic beverages. Fast forward to 1988, more than 50 years after the repeal of prohibition, the Columbus Brewing Company spurred by the Edwards’ neighborhood restora- tion and under the direction of Scott Francis, began producing beer again in the Brewery District. Ironically, Francis also helped guide the creation of Tem- perance Row Brewing in Westerville in December, 2014. Forum bonus: taste a sample from Columbus’ craft breweries at the forum. ———— CMC forums are frequently aired on the Ohio Channel via WOSU digital and Columbus Television at channel 3 on Insight and Time Warner and channel 99 on Warner, WOW and AT&T U-Verse.
