Crafting the Finest German-Style Lager Since 1836
Columbus Ohio's First Premium Beer
-
After prohibition, most regional breweries forged a comeback, affording to do so by cheapening their ingredients and jeopardizing the integrity of their original recipes to survive during the Great Depression. The Hoster family opted to not damage the integrity of their cherished recipe, and ceased production for good. Today, the Hoster Gold Top™ recipe maintains the integrity of the original formula—a proud homage to our forefathers.
Gold Top
™
Our signature beer, Gold Top™, is a German Dortmunder style lager that has won numerous awards since it was first brewed in Columbus in 1836. It is crafted with a unique blend of imported 2-row barley malt and Munich malt and hopped with the finest German and Czechoslovakian varieties, resulting in a perfectly balanced and refreshing beer.
Specialty Beers
In addition to our signature Gold Top™ beer, we also offer a variety of specialty beers that are crafted with the same passion and precision. From our rich and malty Eagle Dark lager to our light and crisp Blonde Ale, we have a beer for every taste and occasion.
