Taking place next Sunday evening, June 14th at 6pm!
The Great Hormonal Plot Twist
A spicy workshop series for people navigating hormones, heat, rage, brain fog, libido shifts, and midnight Googling.
We will explore the absolute audacity of perimenopause, the feral ferocity of menopause, and the liberation that is post menopause.
Science-backed.
Shame-free.
Fun as hell.
Come learn what your body is doing, why it’s doing it, and how to thrive through the chaos with more knowledge, power, pleasure, and community.
Sweaty? Maybe.
Broken? Absolutely not!
This 3-part series will take place once each month, Sundays, through summer.
June 14: Know Your Bits
July 12: WTF is My Body Doing
August 9: Thrive Through the Fire
These classes are intended as a complete course but you do NOT have to attend all of them to learn, enjoy, and thrive. Join us and learn!
(Sorry, we’re not re-releasing Flip It Upside Down just now. Our esteemed presenter happened to love this photo and thought it might conjure ideas of female reproductive health.)
Are you into oak?
Doug and Justin picked three barrels for this year’s Feral Dawn blend to be released at our anniversary party, Saturday the 13th. And if you enjoy an oak-forward, really big stout, this is your year!
The guys started with two barrels we’ve been maturing for almost four years, one Jim Beam, the other a Wild Turkey. These are barrels that have tasted great in past trials but we didn’t have the perfect final barrel ready that would bring out all of their very best characters. After pulling nails on many of our other stout barrels, they also selected a 17 month old Buffalo Trace barrel for the final blend. The older barrels had prominent notes of brown sugar, chocolate, and caramel. The younger barrel was a touch drier with more savory notes like tobacco and leather to round out the sweeter tones.
Together, this rich stout hits you with strong barrel character up front, but relaxes into smooth chocolatey tones, and a complex finish that unfolds with baking spice, dark fruits, and rich caramel.
The guys loved this unique blend and we think you will too.
We’ll be releasing Feral Dawn in bottles this coming Saturday at noon. Stay tuned for news on a special variant that we’ll have more info on later this week.
We’ll be pouring Feral Dawn, our Feral Dawn variant, a vintage keg, and some other fun surprises on draft all day. Come grab great food from Greek Street, some great beer, and celebrate eight crazy years with us!

June is always a milestone month for us. It’s full of anniversary planning, celebrating how far we've come, and looking back on the years of memories we've created within these walls. For many of the past 8 years, we’ve featured different local artists each month that inspire us and make our taproom a more beautiful space. Their pieces really pull the room together.
This month is extra special. We are featuring twelve of our past artists who were all given the same prompts: Branch & Bone, Beer, and Dayton. All of them used some interpretation of these prompts that create a connective thread for our anniversary month. We couldn't be happier with the way their pieces have come together to create a showcase that reflects our community.
Pop in to check out, admire, and purchase (if the urge possesses you!) any of these works throughout the month.
And make sure to join us on the 13th for all of our anniversary 8 shenanigans!

We’re really starting to feel that summer weather creeping in.
With that in mind, it’s sour season! Today we’re releasing Passsionfruit Salty Salute on draft and 4-packs of 16oz cans to-go.
This gose, a tart wheat-ale with a bit of salt added during the boil, is loaded with almost 600 pounds of passionfruit and is perfect for pool-side sitting, patio sipping, or as a lawn-mowing beer. Think of it as an electrolyte beverage for adults! Tart, salty, sweet, and completely refreshing!
We also neglected to post about the release of Mirage, a fan-favorite WCIPA, last week! It’s packed with those “cheater” hops, Citra and Mosaic, for a dank, dry, citrus fruit-forward punch that’ll keep you coming back again and again. We love our clear beer!
Both beers are available when we open at four. And keep your eyes peeled through the rest of the week as we release more info about our 8th Anniversary, coming up Saturday June 13th! We’ll have a lot going on!

First Anniversary 8 details coming in!
Our friends at Greek Street are going to bring their truck down and will be hanging out slinging amazing gyros, kebabs, and Greek fries from noon-6. Don’t sleep on their chicken, it’s incredible. These fine folks make amazing food, serve it with a smile, and if you look really closely, you may notice that one of the guys on the truck bears a slight resemblance to our taproom manager, Jama. Don’t mention that to Wyatt though. He already has to have her as a mom. We don’t want draw more attention to it.
Come grab some great beer and some soul-fulfilling Greek food and celebrate eight years of Branch & Bone!
Join us on Saturday June 13th at Noon when we open for our Anniversary Party.
Expect our yearly bottle release of Bourbon Barrel Aged Feral Dawn and a special variant of BA Feral Dawn also on draft and in bottles. Details on the variant and other special draft only beers coming soon.
This year we are also stepping things up with a brand new beer releasing in cans, a Triple West Coast IPA. More details on that one coming soon as well so follow the event for more info.

8 years is big and we wouldn't be here without you. So hope to see you all out to raise a glass to not only what we are doing but to all of you for your continued support. Here's to many more!

NEW BEER ALERT!
We have a brand new beer releasing today, along with a beer we haven’t released in almost four years!
If you’re one of those folks who’ve been lovingly hounding us to release Dream Wax for a good long while, your prayers have been answered! And we went ahead and Double Dry-Hopped it just to make it extra special for the folks who truly love it. This oat cream IPA is loaded with Citra Cryo and Nelson Sauvin, so it’s citrusy, bright, and has a slight apricot flavor, then finishes as smooth as a gentle Spring breeze. You’re going to love it.
We’re also releasing a new Pub Ale that we’re absolutely thrilled with. Stumbling Through Memories is an English Pale Ale that beautifully blends malt and hops. A perfectly clear, straw-colored gem that perfectly balances malt flavor with a crisp hop finish that doesn’t overwhelm the palate. This one might be our new favorite pub beer.
Both of these are on draft and in cans today. Stumbling Through Memories will also be on the beer engine later this week!

Join us Saturday March 7th when we open at Noon for our annual International Women's Day Beer Release, Thanks, It Has Pockets Vol 8. on draft and in cans to-go.
Late last month, in preparation for International Women’s Day, the women who work at Branch & Bone gathered friends, family, and significant others to brew Thanks, It Has Pockets! Vol. 8, a collaboration with our friends at Lily's Dayton.
Jama, our incredible taproom manager, Emily, then GM of Lily’s, and Katie Mae, bar manager of Lily’s, came together to pick a favorite Lily’s cocktail that we could morph into a delicious beer to showcase our shared loves of food, drink, family, and friends! Together, they decided on X-Ray Spex, a mango, passionfruit, lime, and vanilla cocktail that pays homage to the 1970’s woman-lead punk rock group of the same name.
The crew brewed a Berliner Weisse base that we packed with loads of mango, passionfruit, lime, and Madagascar vanilla for a tart and sweet punch that will leave you ready for many more.
A portion of proceeds from this beer will be donated to the Artemis Domestic Violence Center of Dayton, who work with the local community to help victims of domestic violence heal and live free of further domestic abuse.
