There are autumn afternoons that are not named, just quietly letting the sunlight fall on the shoulders of the traveler. The wind gently blows, carrying the scent of dry grass and nostalgia. You stand there – in the quiet space of the Columbus yellow leaf forest, holding a glass of Bodhi that is as golden as the last ray of sunlight on the wooden porch. It is not just beer. It is the symphony of Ohio’s land and sky flowing in a glass – a symbol born from passion, grown with desire, and forever living in the hearts of dreamers.
The moment I brought the beer to my lips, the first scent rushed in like the breath of a tropical garden in the early morning: ripe mango, fragrant pineapple, refreshing citrus. Bodhi is not in a hurry – it touches lightly, then spreads like a fragrant smoke lingering around the soul. Each sip of Bodhi is a gentle beat of memory, a page of quiet poetry written with scent, taste, and light.
1. The Glorious Historical Journey of Columbus Brewing Company
Columbus Brewing Company (CBC) is more than just a brewery. It’s a temple to craft—a place where every drop of beer is a solemn ritual, a miracle that encapsulates a dream in every barrel.

Since 1988, CBC has been quietly fueling the spirit of craft beer in Central Ohio. And when Eric and Beth Bean took over in 2004, they didn’t just revive a brand, they gave each batch a soul. Bodhi was born, in the hands of people who love beer more than they breathe, as an answer to an unquenchable passion. It’s not just a result – it’s a symphony of Columbus autumns, where leaves cover the walkways like a carpet for a distinguished guest.
2. Bodhi – When Imperial IPA Gets Poetry
Bold style but gentle as poetry
Imperial IPA – the style of artists who are not afraid to break the rules. With an alcohol content 8.3%Bodhi is not simply strength – it is a desire that takes on a romantic shape. It is when bitterness does not deny sweetness, when sharpness does not lose gentleness.
Bodhi is a slow-motion film of glorious moments. When your taste buds are not attacked, but guided. It is a path paved with aroma, leading you through a sunny garden of mango, pineapple, grapefruit; then stopping in a small corner with the shade of golden malt.
Smell and taste like a love song
- Scent: Bodhi opens like a summer prelude – where tropical fruits call out like an invitation. Mango, orange, tangerine and pineapple are more than just smells – they are memories, colours, unspoken dreams.

- Beer flavor: The first touch is silky smooth, then quickly transforms into a wave of hops – spicy, intense but not rushed. It’s an embrace that embraces every note.
- Color: Golden, pure and clear like the early winter morning light – just looking at it is enough to move the soul.
3. How to Enjoy Bodhi – A Ritual of the Soul
No one simply “drinks” Bodhi. One enjoys it, like a poetry lover reading a love poem in the morning. It is a ritual – where you and Bodhi meet as soul mates.
- Ideal temperature: 10–13°C – at this temperature, each note is awakened, blooming like apricot petals in early spring.
- Suggested cup type: Tulip or Snifter – to keep the full flavor and the fine, misty foam.
Food pairing suggestions
- Bold BBQ: The bass notes echo from the bottom of the heart.

- Aged cheese: Deep, rich, smooth – like a wordless handshake between two old friends.
- Spicy dishes: When Bodhi embraces the bitterness like the autumn wind soothing the nostalgia.
- Handmade Burger: Rough but sincere – a rock love song ending with jazz chords.
4. Awards & Inspiration – When Bodhi Became a Legend
When tens of thousands of people rate a beer 99/100, they aren’t just rating a beer – they’re rating an emotion. Bodhi doesn’t scream to be loved – it just needs to be itself, and that’s enough.
“There are voices that silence us – and there are beers that silence us to the very end.” – shared an IPA lover.
Bodhi is not a product – it is a message from fiery hands. It is a symphony written with yeast, with heat, and with a heart that never stops beating for beer. From the old copper pot to the modern factory, Bodhi remains the same: kind, bold and beautiful as a June moon.
5. Conclusion – Bodhi, Every Sip Is A Chapter Of Poetry
There are flavors that are not on the tongue – but in the memory. There are beers that are not to be drunk – but to be contemplated, to be listened to in silence.
Bodhi is like that. A quiet chapter of poetry in the midst of a hurried life. A slow breath in the midst of chaos. A place where people find themselves – genuine, fragile and passionate.

Let’s raise our glasses – not to drain them, but to begin a journey. A journey of flavors, of emotions, and of dreams that are still being written. Let Bodhi be the poem you have yet to say – but carry with you in your heart.
