Our brewhouse isn’t air-conditioned. That means this coming week is going to be really gross while we brew. But our pain is your gain because it’s going to be absolutely perfect weather for celebrating Independence Day, barbecuing, sitting by the pool, and crushing easy-drinking, crispy lagers. With that in mind, we’re releasing our American Lite Lager, Classic Crisp today!

Classic Crisp is light, dry, flavorful without being in-your-face, and at $12.99 for a 6-pack of 16oz cans…. Wait, that can’t be right, let’s check the notes. No, that’s what the notes say, just $12.99 for six POUNDS of beer! How can you go wrong? Supporting local? Check! Buying craft? Boom! Saving money? Absolutely!

So come grab a couple of 6-packs and use the cash you saved for Roman Candles. They don’t scare the animals as much and you absolutely shouldn’t get a bunch of buddies together and shoot them at each other. That would be wildly irresponsible and no one here has ever done that.

Seriously though, have fun and be safe as you celebrate ‘Murica’s 250th birthday! We want to see everyone in here on the 5th with all of their eyes and fingers in good, working order.

Your favorite Floridian dessert beer is back! Key Lime Pie Berliner is on draft and in 4-packs to-go this afternoon. Packaged today and bursting with tart lime, vanilla, and graham cracker crust, this one is sure to be a hit poolside, lying in the sand, or just after dinner on the couch!

And don’t give our photographer Ben any hassle on the photo. We know those aren’t Key Limes but we’re a small brewery and while we did WANT to send him to Key West to pick some, it just wasn’t in the budget.

Also back in cans and pouring on cask in the taproom today is our Dark English Mild, Over The Edge. One of our favorite pub ales, OTE is roasty but approachable! It has notes of roasted pecans, fig, and bakers chocolate. At 4.6% this sessionable ale will hit you with nuanced flavor and a light, crisp finish, but won’t wallop you if have a couple . Come grab some real ale this evening!

From our family (not all pictured!) to yours, we’d like to express what a pleasure it’s been to serve our South Park neighborhood, Dayton, and Ohio for the past eight years. It hasn’t been without pain or struggle, but for the vast majority of the time, we’ve had an absolute blast making beer for you, serving it to you, and drinking it with you.

Just noticing that this looks like a “We’re closing” notice. Sorry about that! No, this is simply a heartfelt thank you to every person who’s come to the taproom for a pint, tried our beer at a friend’s house, or taken a chance by grabbing a 4-pack off a shelf. We couldn’t have made it these eight years without you.

To those of you who came to our 8th anniversary party on Saturday, we hope you had as much fun as we did! It was a blast. We have a few bottles of Feral Dawn and a VERY limited amount of Double Chocolate Feral Dawn remaining too. We have a bit of both left on draft as well, so come give them a try if you didn’t get a chance over the weekend!

Thank you all so much for the past eight years. Hopefully we’ll be a part of this community for many more!

Dudes! And those of you who don’t identify as Dudes!

Do you want to try Citra hops in their most Citra-ey glory? Come check out Citra Maze today. Wander your way through T-90 Citra, Citra Cryo, and Citra terpenes. We even whispered “Citraaaaaaaa” in our creepiest voices every time we walked past the tank while it was fermenting just to imbue this beer with that bit of extra Citra magic.

Citra Maze is loaded, as you may have guessed, with all the best Citra flavors. There’s mango, orange, lemon, lime, passion fruit, and a bit of a dank bite at the end. On the nose you may notice grass clippings, lemongrass, vanilla, and a bit of citrus zest as well.

Come get lost in a Citra Maze today. We promise there is no Minotaur in the middle. Just delicious flavor.

Citra Maze is on draft and ready to make the trip home with you when we open at 4 today!

Have you been enjoying our cask ales in the taproom? Our cask boxes are the closest you will get to that experience at home!

Just in time for Anniversary weekend and all your other Summer shenanigans, these 5L boxes of beer fit perfectly in your fridge and serve up ~10 pints of pub ale.

Order online or stop in and grab yours today!

New today! Canning LITERALLY (the actual definition, not like “I could literally eat an entire cow!” “No you couldn’t Steven, you’d die.”) as this post is being written, we have Crooked Time!

At 7%, we’re coming in slightly higher than our usual Hazy IPA. Still, filled with Nelson Sauvin, Strata, and a touch of Mosaic, you’ll barely notice that ABV bump. Crooked Time has a super soft mouth-feel (everyone’s favorite descriptor), a slight minerality, and loads of cantalope, blackberry, honeydew, and a trace of white wine to finish. Crooked Time is a Velociraptor to our usual Ankylosaurus. It’s more flowing grace than brute force. If you didn’t like dinosaurs as a kid, that analogy is totally lost on you. Don’t worry, you can just come in, try the beer, and make your own random comparisons from when you were seven years old!

And hey, we won’t be upset if you post pictures of your favorite dinosaurs in the comments. We’ll see you at 4!

Oh, and if Steven were an actual carnivorous dinosaur he MIGHT literally be able to eat an entire cow. We’re sorry, Steven, you may actually have been using the word correctly.

For our final release announcement, coming this Saturday on draft and in bottles will be Double Chocolate Feral Dawn! A blend of our 41-month-matured Wild Turkey stout barrel and our 17-month-matured Buffalo Trace stout barrel, this beer was then conditioned further on pounds and pounds of organic cacao husks and cacao nibs!

This decadent, bold stout features a creamy, mocha-colored head that releases waves and waves of semi-sweet and milk chocolate aroma. If you find you prefer your beer like revenge, served cold, you’ll enjoy delicious dark chocolate, espresso, and baking chocolate. But if you feel that good things come to those who wait, and you allow it to briefly warm, you’ll be rewarded with stronger flavors of fudge, brown sugar, caramel, and brownie batter. To say we’ve enjoyed sampling this one would be a bit of an understatement.

If you’re staying with us for a while on Saturday, it may be hard to choose when to try this one. It’ll make for a perfect dessert in a glass, but if you wait too long, it may be gone!

Anniversaries call for big beers, right?

The next release slated for this coming Saturday is a whopper of a triple West Coast IPA. Clocking in at 11%, “Time and Different Space” is hopped heavily with Strata, Mosaic, and Columbus. It’s dank, slightly boozy, and is filled with berry and tropical fruit flavors. This beer will see some distro in kegs, but it’s a taproom exclusive if you want to take any home with you, so if we may suggest you join us for a fun time this Saturday and grab a 4-pack while you can? It seems silly not to come have a blast. Big stouts, Big IPAs, silly slushees, great food, and more!

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!
