The Capital Club has always been home to the best in Columbus, and we are pleased to present new local artisanal products. Inevitably you will have heard of some of our new offerings (Jeni’s, ahem) but don’t let that be the end of your taste adventure. Your new favorite might be waiting just inside the Capital Club!
Jeni’s Ice Cream: Columbus, Ohio
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, based in Columbus, Ohio, is a small company making modern American ice creams, yogurts and sorbets. Dedicated to using local ingredients and responsibly grown exotics, Jeni’s flavors will knock your taste buds into unchartered but welcome flavor combinations.
Rockmill Brewery: Lancaster, Ohio
Rockmill is a small production organic brewery located in Lancaster, Ohio. The beers are modeled after the brews of Wallonia, Belgium. Wallonia is the French-speaking region of the country located in the rural south along the French border. The water of this region contains a minerality very similar to the water profile found in the deep well located on the farm in Lancaster, Ohio.
OYO Vodka: Columbus, Ohio
Set in the heart of Ohio, Middle West Spirits is a micro-distillery that draws inspiration from its surroundings. We are mindful of the immense resources we have nearby, and make every effort to use them. And we’re students of time-tested distilling traditions – proud to use the first copper still of its kind in North America, from a company that’s been making the gold standard for nearly 200 years. Clear, bright aromas of dried pear, custard and buttery honeyed praline with a supple, soft off-dry medium-full body with a long, spicy apple pie crust, cream and mineral finish. Exceptional, flavorful and delicious.” – International Review of Spirits, Beverage Testing Institute (92 pts, “Exceptional Rating, 2010 Gold Award Winner).
CBC Summer Teeth: Columbus, Ohio
A crisp, unfiltered kellerbier. This traditional Bavarian style beer is an bronze medal winner from the 2010 Great American Beer Festival. The refreshing, light floral hop aroma is complimented beautifully with a citrus side note. Drinkable while maintaining a satisfying malt flavor: this one will define your summer.
Great Lakes Burning River: Cleveland, Ohio Ohio's first microbrewery hits another homerun. "An assertively hopped American pale ale with citrusy and piney Cascade hops."
Great Lakes Dortmunder: Cleveland, Ohio "A smooth lager that strikes a delicate balance between sweet malt and dry hop flavors."
Additionally, the Capital Club is happy to introduce our other new additions: Hoegaarten, Labatt Blue, Chateau de Campuget Rose, Franciscan Chardonnay and St. Francis Cabernet Sauvignon. Our new wines are offered by the glass or by the bottle.
