OUR STORY
FROM SMALL TOWN TO OHIO'S BEST
Our building was home to Johnson's Restaurant in the 1950's, a regular stop for many, known for their great fresh grilled sandwiches and cold beverages.
Now, over 70 years later, something very special has come to life once again.
A CRAFT BEER
HAVEN
Brewfontaine started as a craft beer haven in Bellefontaine, Ohio, aiming to bring quality beer and a welcoming atmosphere to the community. What began as a small-town spot quickly rose to become a multi-year "Best Beer Bar in Ohio" winner.
More than just a bar, Brewfontaine became a central gathering spot, fostering community through its offerings and creating a space where everyone feels welcome - from the soccer mom to the craft-beer enthusiast.
ADAM RAMMEL
Adam Rammel's vision transformed a historic downtown Bellefontaine building into Ohio's premier craft beer destination. His passion for quality craft beer and commitment to community has made Brewfontaine more than just a bar - it's a gathering place that brings people together.
Under Adam's leadership, Brewfontaine has earned recognition as Ohio's Best Beer Bar multiple times by CraftBeer.com, while maintaining the welcoming, small-town atmosphere that makes it special.
