Are you ready for our 7th anniversary weekend? Well, have we got great news for you! On top of some specialty draft next Friday. Bottle releases and more specialty draft and slushees Saturday, we’re celebrating Father’s Day on Sunday with our good buddies from Koji Burger! They’ll be here at open to sling the best burgers in Dayton from our parking lot. So come on down to knock off that Anniversary Party hangover, bring your dad down, feed him, raise a glass to him, and then tell him he has to stop sighing and saying “We really needed this…” every time it starts raining. We know how weather works, dad! C’mon!

Here's the taplist headed into the weekend. With the NATO stuff going on downtown, many are avoiding all of Downtown like the plague. It's been a ghost town everywhere this week and all your awesome, local businesses down here can use all the support we all can get.
So venture out and stop at a few places, grab food and bring it in for a pour of your favorite beer, wine, or cider and enjoy the temperate weather on the patio. Grab some beer to go and get ready for your long weekend proper. Cask boxes go great with burgers and dogs on the grill, just sayin'...
Taproom Open 12-11pm Tonight and Saturday, 12-8pm Sunday, Closed Monday.

File under: Things We Never Expected.
We have a song written about us!
Join us at the brewery Saturday, May 10 for new music and new beer! Dayton alt-indie rockers Rude Scholar will debut the music video for their new single, “Branch and Bone,” and will be offering a free CD to the first 50 customers to purchase a pour or 4-pack of Taddy Mason!
Taddy Mason is a sessionable ESB. It’s caramel in color, features a bready malt backbone with gentle hop undertones, for a balanced beer that’s good for a pint or a 4-pack.
Rude Scholar band members will be at the brewery from noon to 4 p.m. to share in the festivities and sing along to “Branch and Bone” with you while the music video is shown publicly for the first time. It’s a catchy tune that captures the neighborhood vibe of the brewery.
What more could you ask for you? Great new beer and great new music – it’s a winning combination!

New Year. New Beer. New Energy.
Our first new beer drop Tuesday of 2025 is exactly what you need for this snow and freezing temp, an 8.9% DIPA to warm things up.
New Energy is a West Coast DIPA with Nelson Sauvin and Citra hops. Big, bitter, citrus and white grape notes abound with a balancing malt character typical for these big hop bombs. Swing by the taproom today to try it on draft and take a 4-pack home to keep things toasty.

As we settle back into the brewery to get 2025 started, we want to take a moment to reflect on 2024.
This past year was a lot. In a lot of ways. We brewed an astonishing number of different beers. We established "core" brands for the first time that are seeing succesful distribution throughout Ohio. We had the amazing experience that was the Eclipse fall right in our laps. The full launch of our wine program also occured making us the only Winery within Dayton city limits. We expanded our draft system to provide more variety in the taproom. We raised and donated impactful dollars for some of our favorite Non-Profits, including Artemis Center Have A Gay Day and To Write Love On Her Arms.
In 2024, we grew as a Brewery. In many ways. Our staff got a little bigger, the amount of beer we produced increased, and our footprint throughout the state got stronger. We also learned a lot about our business, our processes, and ourselves. A lot of changed occurred and we all grew together to meet it head on and improve. While we constantly strive for perfection and continually find room for improvement, we are damn proud of what we were able to accomplish in 2024.
We couldn't have done it without all of you. The support we have received and the response from our community that keeps our weird little dream alive is why we are still here. Thank you. Truly.
It hasn't been easy. 2024 really brought the overall state of the industry into full view. As drinking habits have changed, craft beer as an industry continued to mature, and personal spending tightened, it has brought on tough times for most across the industry. Some of our awesome colleagues haven't made it through. Even tougher times are assuredly ahead. Continue to support the ones you want to see survive. Word of mouth and spreading what we do to those who aren't familiar goes a long way.
But we will continue to evolve to stay relevant and provide value to our community. Through tough times we see opportunity. We have some great things planned for 2025 so be sure to stay tuned!
