About Derive Brewing Company
Derive Brewing Company is a brewery, taproom and kitchen on North High Street in Clintonville, Columbus. It was founded in 2016 by Luke Sherrill, Peter Steffes and Mike Coates as a nomad brewery. The taproom opened in August 2020.
The beer leans toward the unusual. Derive specializes in hazy IPAs, saisons and other more esoteric styles, and clean barrel-aged beers were among its early focus. Sherrill is a Master Brewer from the Siebel Institute, and Steffes is a Food Scientist.
The kitchen serves pub fare with shareables and an infamous smash burger. The place is an industrial-chic brewpub with pizzas, burgers and bar bites. The taproom is relaxed and come-as-you-are.
You can take beer home too. Derive sells a rotating selection of 4-packs to go, and it offers digital gift cards through its point of sale service.
