Ohio’s Craft Beer Hotel

Ohio doesn’t exactly scream craft beer mecca, but the city of Columbus will soon be home to a craft beer-themed hotel.

Beer will factor into spa treatments, shower fridges and a hot tub filled with IPA. Scottish company BrewDog is behind the project, and it plans to call it the DogHouse. The hotel is raising money via Indiegogo in the hopes of gaining $75,000 to help it open.

The hotel says it will let visitors wake up to a view of the brewery, with the smell of freshly mashed malt wafting through the air. Hop-infused spa treatments with malted barley massages and a “hoppy feet” pedicure, and craft beer taps in all of the bedrooms, will round things out. The brewery will focus on sour beer.

Naturally, there will also be craft beer pairings at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel and brewery will cost around $6 million to build, and the money raised online will help fast track the project. BrewDog hopes to start operations in late 2018.

“This will be the world’s only fully-immersive craft beer destination. Every single part of your stay at DogHouse will be absolutely dominated by hops, malt and incredible beer; from your shower, to your breakfast, to the view from your room, to the minibar and perks like your own Punk IPA tap,” said James Watt, co-founder, BrewDog, in a statement.
