Starting Friday November 13th,, Branch & Bone Artisan Ales will be offering its newest creations for patrons to enjoy, full time food service.  The Brewery and Winery located in the Historic South Park neighborhood of Dayton is holding the grand opening of their taco menu as a permanent food option in the taproom.

It’s been a long time coming.  We have had plans to add food to the experience at Branch & Bone from the beginning, just always waiting for the right time.  Now is the time.  The same commitment to quality and craftsmanship found in our beer translates to our food offerings.  Fresh, from scratch, and full flavored is the theme for our taco menu.

Among the items on the menu are Al Pastor style chicken, chipotle steak, mojo pork, and chili lime shrimp tacos.  For the non-meat eaters, there are two main vegetarian friendly options: Al Pastor Seitan and Fajita Veggie tacos.  Chips, two house made salsas, and kids cheese quesadillas round out the menu.  Special menu items will appear from time to time and alternate menu events are planned to pop up as well, including ticketed beer pairing dinners.

We no longer allow carry in food with the addition of food service to our taproom. Thank you for your understanding.

The taproom is closing early today Sunday Nov 8th at 4pm for a private event. Sorry for any inconvenience. Be sure to swing in before 4pm for your favorites on draft and take a 4 pack home. Cheers!

It's been a long time coming and likely well overdue but the time is now for tacos at Branch & Bone!

Join us at the brewery as we kick off our new food service with the debut of our new taco menu. We've been hard at work cooking this up to enhance your experience when you visit. Beginning on Friday November 13th when we open at Noon, the same committment to quality found in our beer, wine, mead, and cider can now be matched with a delicious meal in our taproom every day we are open.

Stay tuned for pictures of the items we are offering like Chicken Al Pastor, Chipotle Steak, Mojo Pork, and Chili Lime Shrimp tacos as well as a few vegetarian options. Chips and Salsa., a little something for everyone. Hope to see you all in for tacos soon!

Join us Saturday October 31st for our annual Halloween party! Costume contest, special festive draft offerings, and of course, candy!

We will judge the costume contest at 8:30pm. As always we will have a number of fun candy inspired keg treatments. Lastly, we need to have some fun since Halloween falls on a Saturday this year so we decided to whip up a slushie and a warm beer. We’ve got candy to hand out so bring the kiddos while you have yourself a treat!

We will be closed Sunday Oct 25th for a staff outing. Sorry for any incovenience. We’ll wish you a lovely Sunday and hope you’ll bear with us as we get the staff out of the taproom and the brewery for a fun afternoon of turkey legs, Dole Whip, and clashing armor.

Had the opportunity through one of our hop partners indiehops to select our lots of Strata and Luminosa for the coming year.

Strata is one of our favorite hops here at the brewery and we’ve been contracting it for quite a while but haven’t selected individual lots before. All of them were very expressive but selecting lots gives you the opportunity to hone in on the characteristics you most want from each individual hop. The Strata we picked is loaded with melon and a backend of dankness.

Luminosa is a newer hop but one we’ve had in rotation a couple years now. Our pick was loaded with that peach/mango/lemonade we crave from this hop.

To taste our beers with Strata hops, stop by the brewery and try Cruise Your Illusion - Hazy IPA where Strata plays with some New Zealand hops or Yesterday’s Eyes - West Coast IPA where Strata co-stars with Citra.

Look out for beers in the coming months featuring Luminosa.

Are you ready for a good time?! And cooler weather? And German beer styles? And the debut of our food truck? So are we!

Oktoberfest is Saturday, the 19th! We have a loaded slate of lagers, good-natured competitions, new merch, oompah music, games, toasts, themed foods, and everything else your pretzel-loving little heart could desire. Including pretzels!

What’s that? New merch? Damn skippy! We’re excited about Oktoberfest on Saturday. We’re stacking lager kegs in the walk-in and getting the food truck ready. New shirts (pictures of those tomorrow!) are being folded, steins are getting washed. Underbergs are being cooled. It’s almost time for a party! Good beer, good friends, games, new merch, food, and more Saturday, noon to 11!

Are West Coast IPAs back?! If not, we’re okay being out of the loop! As of this afternoon we’re as WCIPA heavy as we’ve ever been. We have a single, we’re releasing a double today, and we still have some of our anniversary triple on draft. Come compare and contrast all three today!

Back in cans and on draft today is our more traditional style WCDIPA, Over Mountains. Like Westies from years ago, Over Mountains features a bit of caramel malt for a lovely, lightly toasted hue and just a hint of roast sweetness to balance all the bitterness from loads of C-hops. We packed it full of Centennial, Chinook, and Citra, so you’ll discover bitterness, piney dankness, hints of fruit and the aforementioned double IPA sweetness.

Also back on draft and to-go is The Fine Print. While Ben’s photo allows you to read ours, there’s no real need! It’s hazy, it’s delicious, it’s fruity and balanced. You’ll want to drink a bunch of them!

Pop in today for a pint or a 4-pack and check out our ridiculously balanced taplist this evening!
