Combustion Brewery offers service in two Columbus area neighborhoods with Taprooms in Pickerington and Clintonville. The original Taproom is situated in the heart of the Pickerington Village and attracts locals and craft beer enthusiasts alike. The new Taproom, opened summer 2022, is in Clintonville just north of OSU campus on High Street. To locals, the Taprooms are an inviting space to spend time with friends and family, to attend a fundraiser, catch up with old friends or just enjoy the newest special release beer. It is a true community gathering space. Likewise, Combustion has become a destination. The atmosphere as well as the welcoming and knowledgeable staff offer a great experience, and the award-winning beers keep the locals coming back and draws the attention of tourists and craft beer aficionados. The brewery boasts fresh craft beer and cider all made in-house. With 20+ tap handles, the lineup is impressive and offers a wide variety of beers to please any beer drinker.
Apparel, gifts and more made for OHIO
We are a small company, starting out with products and designs that we have had rolling around in our heads for years. Established in 2015, we started out as a home-based business online and going to shows, eventually, in 2016 we opened our first small storefront in Athens, Ohio! We are all about creating simple, iconic designs all for the love of Ohio. We put our designs on super soft apparel and accessories, most of which are made and or printed in Ohio. Because we are so small, we take pride in designing, making, cutting, sorting, advertising, printing, folding, packing, shipping each and every item you buy from us. THANK YOU for buying local!
To Inspire and Liberate the Human Spirit Through the Arts
Passion Works creates opportunities for all people to explore and socially connect through the process of making art. We follow the aesthetic lead, talents, and interests of people with developmental differences and support collaborations to encourage vibrant and inclusive communities. We upcycle otherwise discarded materials and produce environmentally responsible items. No voice, no resource, and no region are abandoned as the studio fosters purpose, connection, and belonging.

We value the entrepreneurial spirit and accomplishments of our alumni and are always pleased to learn about alumni owned businesses and ventures. To ensure equitable treatment of all alumni and maintain the integrity of our communications, the Ohio University Alumni Association does not provide promotional endorsements, advertising, or direct marketing of individual alumni businesses to the full alumni community.
