Looking for a little getaway that breaks the whole “travel for hours to a different state/country” routine, wraps you in cozy holiday vibes, and leaves you feeling like you’ve escaped without actually leaving town? We’ve got you covered with a staycation that’s equal parts brewery, dog-friendly adult college campus, and dreamland for beer lovers.
BrewDog’s DogHouse Hotel in Columbus is the cozy holiday staycation you never knew you needed – and we’re here to tell you why (because we actually did a staycation here!).
Checking In – With a Beer in Hand
The moment you step into the DogHouse, you’re greeted like family – but with a BrewDog twist. Check-in comes with a complimentary drink from BrewDog’s iconic lineup: choose a beer, cider, or NA beer and let the holiday spirit start flowing. With drink in hand, head up to your room, located alongside BrewDog’s warehouse. This view of wooden barrels and massive brewing vats just outside of your hotel room sets the scene for a stay that’s anything but ordinary.
Your Room: Cozy Meets Really F****** Cool
Walk into your suite and get ready to be impressed. If you’re easily excitable, maybe take a few deep breaths because you might pass out from sheer joy. These rooms manage to blend rustic charm with modern luxuries effortlessly. From the moment you step in, it’s clear BrewDog has thought of everything. A fully stocked fridge with a curated selection of beers, a record player to set the mood, and, yes, a real guitar hung on the wall if you feel like serenading your date. But the real showstopper? The beer fridge in the bathroom. That’s right – shower beers aren’t just welcome here, they’re a tradition! So, grab an Elvis Juice and make yourself at home.
Exploring the Grown-Up Playground
Once you’ve settled in, there’s no need to rush off anywhere. The DogHouse is like a college campus for adults – with beer instead of books and dogs everywhere you look. Stroll the property with an open container, make new furry friends at the dog park, or head to the brewery to dive into a food and drink lineup that’s every bit as impressive as the accommodations.
Our BrewDog Feast: Beer Flights and Big Bites
For dinner, we took on a flight of BrewDog’s finest pilsners, lagers, wheat beers, and ciders, all paired with a gigantic pretzel served with house-made cheese and mustard that’s well worth writing home about. As for the main event, we went with the Chicken, Bacon, and Avocado Sandwich, which was loaded with fresh ingredients and served with Cajun fries that hit the spot, and the Signature Brisket Rigatoni. The rigatoni was a highlight – hearty, flavorful, and surprisingly massive.
The Perfect Holiday Staycation
If you’re looking for a little getaway that’s unique, cozy, and memorable, BrewDog’s DogHouse Columbus is where it’s at. From sipping a shower beer with your hot date to strolling through an adult-friendly campus with a cold one in hand, it’s a staycation you won’t soon forget. So, go ahead – book that room, crack open a cold one, and make it a staycation to remember. You’re welcome.
