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!
