# The Business Journals: Brass Tap sets July 20 debut for 80-tap pub, while looking for more sites

**TL;DR:** The Brass Tap, a Tampa-based craft beer bar and restaurant, is expanding to Columbus, Ohio, and seeking additional locations in the area. Mic Foster is opening his second Brass Tap in Ohio, after previously opening one in Cincinnati in 2013.

## Story

Mic Foster is excited to bring the concept to the Columbus market and to offer the community 40 taps dedicated solely to Ohio brewers. In addition to their craft beer offerings, the restaurant will be serving up pub-inspired creations like a pretzel crust pizza, burgers and more.

This is Mic Foster’s second Brass Tap in the state of Ohio. He opened the state’s first in Cincinnati in 2013. But, he doesn’t plan to stop at two. He said he’s already looking at other potential sites in the area.

“I think we see some real potential here,” he said.
