4. Benefits Local Non-Profit

Any funds that are not spent on the festival, are donated back into the community. Columbus Craft Beerfest Co. was formed by a group of young people who wanted to have a high quality event in Columbus. After learning the constraints of non-profit partnerships, they set out to do it on their own and created this company. Their focus has been, and will continue to be — to do right by the brewers, attendees, their city, and all involved in making this festival happen. The #1 goal is to throw a high quality event, spread the love of craft beer, and improve the life of residents of Columbus.
