Wagyu Beef Now Raised Locally

August 9, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

Today Keener Farm Butcher Block, located at 2857 Crescent Blvd has announced they will be offering 100% gourmet Grass fed wagyu beef.  It’s the very first wagyu beef they  have raised. The are even running a facebook contest to give away sample steaks.

According to the American Wagyu Association the unique taste and tenderness of highly marbled Wagyu beef makes for an unrivaled eating experience.  That is why Wagyu beef is finding its way into the repertoires of Gourmet cooks and fine restaurants across the US.

Not only is it a gastronomic delight, but it’s healthy for you too. Health experts have discovered the 13902640_1270262819660288_2014337658342448856_nmono-unsaturated to saturated fat ratio is higher in Wagyu than in other beef and, the saturated fat contained in Wagyu is different. Forty percent is in a version called stearic acid, which is regarded as having a minimal impact in raising cholesterol levels. The profile of marbled Wagyu beef is more beneficial and healthier to human health.

Wagyu is also higher in a type of fatty acid called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).  Wagyu beef contain the highest amount of CLA per gram of any foodstuff – about 30% more than other beef breeds – due to higher linoleic acid levels. Foods that are naturally high in CLA have fewer negative health effects.

Take Me Out To The Ball Park For Beer Tasting

August 5, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

Team_store_website_logo_500For the ninth year, Heidelberg Distributing takes over Fifth Third Field for a celebration of beer.  Guests will have the chance to visit 28 tables and select up to twenty 4oz samples to taste, as well as play corn hole, frisbee golf on the field.  There are thirteen gluten free beers and fifteen featured Ohio beers and plenty of  beers you’ve probably never tasted, as well as some classics.

When you buy a ticket to the Great American Beer Tasting ($30 in advance, $40 day of)  you’ll get a $10  Uber credit with every ticket purchased! Use promo code “GABT2016” for a $10 credit to and from the ballpark thanks to Heidelberg Distributing and Budweiser’s “Make a Plan to Make it Home” initiative!   Your ticket also includes a custom pint glass, and a raffle ticket for Budweiser and Dragons merchandise.  This event runs from 2-6pm, Sat, Aug 6th.

There are also some special time released tastings that will be available in the left and right field corners. Each corner will have the exact same special samplings- but product is first-come, first served wile supplies last.

2:15pm – Goose Island Gillian: A wild ale aged in wine barrels with strawberries, honey and white pepper, slightly tart and pleasantly sweet with an effervescent body. Made with fresh ingredients sourced locally from family farms in the Chicago area.

3:00pm – Rogue Sriracha: Made from Huy Fong original hot chili sauce and sun ripened Rogue Farms ingredients.11809815_1674645902769026_1060651555_n

3:40pm – Breckenridge Tequila Barrel Aged Ophelia: This barrel-aged specialty single starts with our spring seasonal, Ophelia. Ophelia is a delightfully balanced hoppy wheat ale featuring Mosaic and Palisade hops that lend aromas of mango, papaya and guava. We let Ophelia rest in fresh tequila barrels for 11 weeks to create something entirely new. The barrels bring out the subtle sweetness of the malts. A peppery flavor and crisp mouthfeel remain, followed by mellow tequila flavor.

4:20pm – Brooklyn Descreet: A base sour beer featuring barley malt, wheat and spelt. Aged in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels, each containing 15 pounds of fresh raspberries. Finally, the beer was bottle conditioned with Brettanomyces lambicus and Champagne yeasts.

5:00pm – Lindeman’s Framboise: Magnificent aroma, delicate palate of raspberries with undertones of fruity acidity. Elegant, sparkling clean natural taste.

Here’s the tasting list, so you can plan out your stops for the day:

TABLE 1
Leffe Blonde: Rich, golden abbey ale with spicy aromas of clove and vanilla; sweet and silky

Leffe Brune: Dark, Belgian Brown Abbey Ale, roasted aroma with hints of coffee and toffee-chocolaty sweetness, soft, with a dry finish.

Boddingtons Pub Ale: Dark golden-colored ale with aromas of fruits & bananas.

Kirin Ichiban: Beautiful golden color with notes of European aroma hops.

TABLE 2
Alaskan Amber: Richly malty and smooth on the palate, with just enough hop backing to provide the perfect balance. Notes of both caramel and a light fruitiness.

Alaskan Icy Bay IPA: Made from glacier-fed water and a blend of Cascade, Bravo, Calypso, Summit and Apollo hops and premium two-row pale and specialty malts.

Alaskan Kicker Session IPA: A light caramel or toffee malt background and light-medium mouth feel makes this session ale a fuller-bodied and satisfying brew.TrVOiJA

DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus: Its lightly sweet, malty flavor is accented by strong notes of chocolate, coffee and peanut butter, and balanced by a subtle hop character and moderate 6.2% ABV. Finishes smooth, dry and roasty.

DuClaw Dirty Freak: Medium bodied, 5.8% ABV brown ale is a feast for the senses from its dominant blend of warm, roasted malt, coconut, caramel, and chocolate flavors barely restrained by a gentle hop bite, to its tantalizingly satisfying finish.

DuClaw Funk: Sets the rhythm with a soulful fusion of American wheat and hops, before unleashing a stunning encore with big notes of blueberry and Meyer lemon.

TABLE 3 {DRAUGHT}
Hoegaarden: Wheat beer with hazy color; slightly sweet with coriander and orange; slightly citrus.

Breckenridge Agave Wheat: This true American-style unfiltered wheat has something a little special – the nectar of the great Salmiana Agave. Agave compliments the refreshingly light quality of the wheat and adds a subtle note of flavor that expands this beer’s uplifting taste profile. It’s familiar, yet creative.

Uinta Ready Set Gose: Inspired by 16th century brewers in Goslar, Germany, this fully organic, salted wheat beer is snappy and tart with a remarkably refreshing finish.

TABLE 4
Blue Point Toasted Lager: Named for the “toasted” characters of the original, direct-fire brick kettle. The World Beer Cup Gold Medal winning flagship brew is made with six different malts. Toasted Lager’s balanced flavor of malt and hops makes for easy drinking and the special proprietary lager yeast produces and exceptional, long-lasting smooth finish.

beer_426391Blue Point Hoptical Illusion: American-style IPA. A collection of rare hops, hand-selected by the brewers, is added five different ways. Adding it five ways allows the “Essence of the Hop” to really shine through and give this beer its signature resiny, citrus-burst punch.

Breckenridge 471 IPA Barrel Series: Eureka!: We rest 471 Double IPA in whiskey barrels for two months. Then, it goes back into tanks for a healthy dry hop treatment. Oaky, whiskey maturity from barrel-aging combined with the fresh aroma and flavor of hops.

Breckenridge Imperial White IPA: offers flavors of honey, clove and banana from its Belgian yeast. Lemongrass adds a soft overlay reminiscent of tea. Citra and Amarillo hops impart pleasant hop flavor with aromas of tropical fruit and pine.

TABLE 5
Breckenridge Breck Lager: a delightfully crisp standard American lager. Clean and bright with the color of sunflowers, it greets you with a soft, malty, sweet aroma that’s grounded by hints of grains and earth.

Breckenridge Avalanche Ale: We blend pale and caramel malts – and just a kiss of bittering hops – to create a refreshing-but-flavorful, anytime beer. Aromas of pale grains, a semi-sweet middle and a clean-as-Colorado-snow finish make this their best-selling beer.

Breckenridge Breck IPA: A painstaking and elaborate hop treatment was used to deliver an IPA with a distinctively prominent floral and fruit aroma. The perfect malt bill delivers a satisfying and soft mouthfeel that complements hop aroma and bitterness. A rare malt variety is the secret ingredient.

Mango Mosaic LogoBreckenridge Vanilla Porter: An ale that has all the chocolate and roasted nut flavor of a classic porter, with an enigmatic surprise thrown in for good measure. A vanilla kiss in a rich, dark sea.

Breckenridge Mango Mosaic: Mosaic hops naturally give off aromas of guava and mango, lending a unique sweetness to the hop character of this pale ale. To build upon the tropical attributes of the hops, we’ve added a healthy dose of mango.

TABLE 6 {GLUTEN FREE}
Angry Orchard Old Fashioned: Made with a blend of American apples like Gala and Fuji. It is then aged on oak with dried tart cherries, California grown navel orange peel, and charred bourbon barrel staves.

Angry Orchard Knotty Pear: Made with juice from a blend of culinary pears, including Bartlett, Doyenne de Comice, Bosc and D’Anjou, along with apples grown in the US.

Omission Lager: a refreshing and crisp beer, brewed in the traditional lager style. The aromatic hop profile offers a unique, easy-drinking beer for those looking for a lighter and approachable beer style.

Omission Pale Ale: bold and hoppy, this is a hop-forward American Pale Ale, brewed to showcase the cascade hop profile. Amber in color, floral aroma, complimented by a caramel malt body.

Omission IPA: Bright, hop forward Northern Style IPA. The heavy-handed use of Summit and Cascade hops give it notable pine, citrus and grapefruit aromas and flavors. The bitterness is what you would expect of a NW IPA but the beer is balanced and smooth due to the perfect level of malt sweetness. The finish is crisp, clean and refreshing. It’s a true IPA lovers IPA.

Blake’s El Chavo: Sweet, heated blend of habanero pepper, mango and famous Blake’s apples.

Blake’s Flannel Mouth: Made with a wide array of late season table and dessert apples. This succulent combination gives it a sweet flavor that finishes incredibly smoothly.

TABLE 7 {GLUTEN FREE}
White Claw Black Cherry: Hard Seltzer with a clean base and natural Black Cherry flavor.

White Claw Ruby Grapefruit: Hard Seltzer with a clean base and natural Ruby Red Grapefruit flavor.

White Claw Lime: Hard Seltzer with a clean base and a hint of natural lime flavor.

image001-3-1Truly Spiked & Sparkling Pomegranate: Clean, crisp and refreshing with a hint of Pomegranate sweetness complimented by a slight tart flavor.

Truly Spiked & Sparkling Colima: Made from Colima limes from Colima Mexico. Slightly tart with a crisp but subtle sweetness.

Truly Spiked & Sparkling Grapefruit & Pomelo: Grapefruit and Pomelo tempt your taste buds with slightly tart and tangy notes and an undercurrent of sweetness.

TABLE 8
Deschutes Fresh Squeezed: This mouthwateringly delicious IPA gets its flavor from a heavy helping of citra and mosaic hops. Don’t worry, no fruit was harmed in the making of this beer.

Sierra Nevada Otra Vez: Tangy twist on the nearly extinct Gose style. Combines the zip of prickly pear cactus with a hint of grapefruit for a bright and refreshing finish.

Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest: Collaboration with Germany’s Mahrs Brau brewery. This authentic version of the festival beer is deep golden in color with a rich malt complexity, but with a noticeable spicy hop character from the use of the nearly forgotten Record hop varietal.

Sierra Nevada Hoptimum: A 100 IBU, whole cone hurricane of flavor, aggressively hopped, dry-hopped, and torpedoed with our exclusive new hop varieties for ultra-intense flavors and aromas.

TABLE 9
Samuel Adams Nitro IPA: Bold Hop bitterness and surprisingly smooth. A cap of nitro creamy mouthfeel reveals a brawny hop intensity and character beneath it with notes of resinous pine and citrus for a flavorful, lingering finish.

Samuel Adams Nitro White Ale: The frothy white head of this distinctive nitro brew softly cascades into bright gold. Smooth velvety taste with a light wheat character and hints of orange while an undercurrent of peppery spice adds a bright finish.

Samuel Adams Rebel Grapefruit: Brewed with real grapefruit for an added punch of citrusy goodness that amplifies the tropical fruit and citrus notes from the hops.going-steady-IPA

Atwater Going Steady: This citrusy session’s got enough Cascade hop and grapefruit flavor to go around, with just enough of the good stuff to make whatever it is you like doing a little bit better.

Anderson Valley Fall Hornin: Has inviting aromas of caramelized malt and baking bread with highlights of cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin and seasonal spices. Pleasantly creamy mouthfeel and silky body embrace the sweet caramel flavors and tang of spices, with just a hint of hops, that ends in a smooth, round finish.

TABLE 10
Shock Top Belgian White: Unfiltered Belgian Style wheat ale, naturally cloudy, with a light golden hue and a slight taste of orange.

Yuengling Original Black & Tan: combines Dark Brewed Porter and Premium Beer to create a brew that is rich and dark in color, with a well-balanced flavor that finishes smooth and satisfying. It has a faint sweetness with hints of caramel and coffee from the dark roasted malts.

Yuengling Dark Brewed Porter: generous portions of caramel and dark roasted malts deliver a rich full-bodied flavor and a creamy taste with slight tones of chocolate evident in every sip.

Yuengling Oktoberfest: Copper in color this medium bodied beer is the perfect blend of roasted malts with just the right amount of hops to capture a true representation of the style.

TABLE 11
Moosehead Radler: A refreshing blend of beer infused with a hit of natural fruit flavors.

Victory Radler: Spin on a German classic, connecting lemon freshness with the infinite smoothness of a crisp lager.

Victory Summer Love: German hops and pale malt blend beautifully to create this refreshing taste of summer.

Proud Daytonian Now A Kentucky Colonel

August 3, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

Joseph Head being presented his KY Colonel certificate by Michael Veach. Two legends in the bourbon world.

Many of us know Joe Head as the driving force behind the changing of The Century Bar to a bourbon bar.  In 2012 the decor of the bar was changed, to reflect its new direction and the focus of this venue, evolved to celebrate America’s Official Native Spirit.

In 2013 the Bourbon Review named The Century one of  America’s Best Bourbon Bars,”  a title they’ve continued to be a party of. Here’s what they said:

Century Bar, Dayton, OH: In what could be the most underrated Bourbon bar in the country, the Century Bar takes you back to 1862 with its 150-year-old back bar. The home of the former Kette & Sons Rye Whiskey Distillery, Century Bar packs 87 Bourbons and regularly holds blind tastings. It’s the sort of place every Bourbon drinker should visit at least once in his or her life.

In 2015 Men’s Journal declared The Century Bar one of the 10 Best Bourbon Bars in America. Travelandleisure.com put The Century on their list of 15  best bourbon bars in America. Joe has established himself as a bourbon ambassador and now spends more time doing talks and tastings than he does behind the bar. But he’s also made sure to keep the standards high for his staff of bartenders that mimic his passion for the bronze liquid and continue to create new bourbon fans daily.

 

And last night General Manager Joe Head was inducted into the Kentucky Colonels, for his dedication to promoting the bourbon heritage, and thus Kentucky.

Kentucky-Colonels-shield-only-logo-2C-e1445529700812-2The Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels is an organization of talented and capable men and women appointed by the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky because of their service to the state. They act as the Governor’s ambassadors of Kentucky’s heritage and rich history of arts and entertainment.

Here’s Colonel Joe’s reaction from last night, as posted to his Facebook page:

“Wow what an amazing evening so many people to thank, first and for13882228_642702562547982_8434116824604831488_n-1emost my beautiful wife Edye Head without her non of this would be possible , my dear friend Michael Veach for nominating me to be a Kentucky colonel. Thank you for the toast to my friend Jeff Luebbe. To all of you who took time out of your lives to share a glass of bourbon with me, I appreciate it greatly. This was a wonderful night.”

After 60 Years We Bid Adieu To Hara Arena

July 29, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

Hara Arena-Logo on Building_3We all knew it was coming, and yet the news still hurts.  Hara Arena will close its doors Aug 27th.

 

The 5,500-seat multi-purpose arena that once was home to Dayton Jets basketball team and Dayton Gems,  Dayton Blue Hawks, Dayton Owls, Dayton Bombers, Dayton Ice Bandits, Dayton Demonz, and Dayton Demolition ice hockey teams  has officially announced it’s closing.

“We are painfully aware of the loss this announcement will generate, which is why we have fought so long and hard to prevent it,” says Karen Wampler, Hara’s marketing director.

The site was originally the family-owned fruit orchard of Harold and Ralph Wampler.The name stems from HA from Harold and RA from Ralph. In 1956, the Wampler Ballroom was erected, which still stands today in the six-building complex. The arena itself opened in 1964. The original plans did not include an ice rink, but were changed to accommodate the Dayton Gems who were looking for a home arena. The complex now spans 165,000 square feet (15,300 m2) which consists of the main arena, four exhibition halls, a conference center, a pub and a golf course.hamvention_2012-3

This arena is where Wayne Gretzky played his first professional hockey game; a pre-season game between the Indianapolis Racers and the Cincinnati Stingers, on September 27, 1978.  Hara was also the home to  Sesame Street Live®, L Monster Truck Winter Nationals®, the Midwest Ceramics Show®, The Miami Valley Home Improvement Show, The National Holiday Gift Show and a host of others.   In May and October of 2004, Hara was twice bestowed the honor of a Presidential visit from President George W. Bush.

Long the home to  The Dayton Hamvention®, we expect an announcement from them shortly. This annual convention brought thousands of visitors to the Miami Valley each year.  Hamvention organizers shared that it brought an economic impact at somewhere between $10 and $20 million during the three-day event.

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Coming to Springboro

July 29, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

12814488_10153981550149106_1572762922506307149_nThe third-generation, family-run company has restaurants in 43 states in the U.S. and recently opened its 560th store and will be opening it’s first Dayton area eatery in Springboro this fall in the former Graeter’s space on North Main Street.

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is known for their  slow smoked meats, smoked daily  in hickory wood burning pits on-site daily. They offer beef brisket, pulled pork, St. Louis style ribs, polish sausage, spicy cheddar sausage, smoked turkey, and marinated chicken, with an extensive array of homestyle sides from jalapeño beans, asiago cheese creamed spinach to macaroni and cheese. Buttery rolls are served with every meal along with complimentary ice cream. And kids eat free on Sunday.

Catering also seems to be a big part of their business, according to their website.  They offer boxed lunches, they’ll deliver a buffet meal as well as do full scale catering for groups of 100 or more.  logo-2

Dickey’s will be filing their permits in August and if all goes well expect to be open for business by November 1st.

5 Tips For Restaurant Week!

July 24, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

dayton-restaurant-weekOriginally started in 2005 Restaurant Week has become a major event in Dayton Dining. The original concept was a 3 course meal for a set price that related to the year, say $20.16 with $1 being donated to local charities. Since I left the helm of the MVRA, the program has morphed and now includes multiple price points, chains restaurants and more casual eateries, which offer meals deals for two at various price points. I’m not sure if they still do the $1 to charity, I could find no reference to that on the MVRA website or in the promotions for this years event. They have added a night, giving you more chances to sample some of the Miami Valley’s restaurants at a discount. It kicks off Sun, July 24th and runs through Sun, July 31st. Take some time and peruse the menu’s, some eateries offer 4 courses, some add beer or wine to the offering, and be aware of the restaurant’s hours, some are closed on Sunday & Monday.

Here are our suggestions to get the most out of Restaurant Week:

 

1. Reserve Early

Popular Restaurant Week choices will be booked up quickly, so the sooner you get on the phone to make your reservations, the better. Reservations for dinner early in the week (Monday – Wednesday) tend to be easier to get than Friday and Saturday. Some of the more casual restaurants don’t take reservations, so arriving before or after the dinner rush will minimize your wait.

2. Manage Your Expectations

It is Restaurant Week and most restaurants offer fairly limited choices on the Restaurant Week menu, so if you’re a very picky eater, it might not be the best option for you. Menu’s are predetermined for price, volume and ease of service, so don’t be surprised if substitutions aren’t possible. Frequently, the Restaurant Week menu won’t include a restaurant’s “signature” dishes, but you can often order them a la carte if you’d really like to give them a try. Some menu’s may actually differ from what’s listed here, due to product availability.

3. Understand the Price

The $20.16 – 35.16 prix-fixe meal doesn’t include beverages, tip or tax. Beverages can add up quickly, so if you’re concerned about your budget, ask about prices before you order. On the other hand, since your meal is discounted, this might be the best time to splurge on a bottle of wine. Many restaurants offer multiple price points options, so you can decide how much to spend. For the more budget challenged, check out the eateries offering to feed 2 for a set price, like Bunkers Chappy’s Tap House & McGillicuty’s.

4. Vegetarians Beware

Some of the menu’s don’t offer a lot of options for you, but you’re probably not surprised by that. On the other hand places like Christopher’s and Meadowlark always offer creative and tasty options. The tilapia or mushroom options offered by many aren’t much of a restaurant week deal.

5. Tip Your Server Well

Just because you’re getting a discount on your dinner doesn’t mean that the waiter or waitress is getting a break on their rent this month, so tip generously if you get good service. And as a former waitress, let me remind you 20% is the baseline for good service these days.

A New Peoples Choice Voted In At Beer!

July 16, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

Beer AttendeesOver 500 beer lovers gathered today at The Yellow Cab Tavern for the annual annual beer tasting event that is a celebration of Dayton brewing culture. All of the Dayton area breweries submited one beer for tasting and attendees were able to try a 6oz pour from all 13 breweries. Then you get to vote for your three favorite in this unique “people’s choice” event.

Musical entertainment by Todd The Fox, and outdoor games like cornhole and giant jenga kept the crowd entertained and food trucks kept them fed, as they worked their way through the following beer list:

Star City Brewing Adena APA  American Pale Ale

Hairless Hare Brewery  Strawberry Kolsch

Crooked Handle  Roadside Peanut Butter Porter

Dayton Beer Co Upright Kolsch

Fifth St Brew Pub  Mango Cure All  Cream Ale

Beer Representatives

Carillon Brewing Co  Berliner Weisse

Lock 27  Wicked Hopsta  IPA

Warped Wing  Trotwood Lager

Eudora  Mother Fuggle  Brown Ale

Toxic Brew  Brunette  Belgian Brown

Nowhere in Particular  Beat You Wheat

Yellow Springs Grapefruit wobbly wheel

 

The camaraderie of the local brewers was obvious, as many of the owners and managers were on hand, sharing insights on their beers, the industry’s explosive growth and upcoming plans for August’s 7th beer week celebration.

“Considering that there were no breweries in the Dayton area just four years ago, it is great to see the number of breweries growing and that they all have so much support,” shared event organizer Brian Johnson.

In the first year of this evenBeert Fifth Street Brewpub was declared the people’s choice.  Last year Hairless Hare Brewery edged out the first champ by just 7 votes.  Tallying the votes this year  put Eudora in third, second place went to Yellow Springs Brewery and for 2016 the popular vote was in favor of  the Peanut Butter Porter from Springboro’s Crooked Handle. “With Crooked Handle being the newest brewery and taking home the people’s choice award just goes to prove that Dayton’s a region that supports all of our great breweries,” Johnson says.

Votes were counted after the event was over, so no trophy photo was available, but we’re sure you’ll be seeing this big stein behind the bar at Crooked Handle, when you visit them at 760 N. Main Street, in the same shopping center as Dorothy Lane Market, just off St Rt 741.

Crooked Handle is openf4bce9db52578a5ba0ef3e4ab0025a37

4 Pokemon Go Events You Should Know About!

July 15, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

The PokemonGo craze has landed hard in Dayton! The groundbreaking A game has surged to the No.1 free game and No.1 grossing game in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in record-breaking time, qualifying Pokémon Go as a certifiable global phenomenon13680320_10153598765506176_337626139874663088_o.

We’ve seen plenty of folks walking around downtown, in parks and shopping centers with phone in hand, a look of concentration on their face and then a yelp of glee, fist pumping in celebration of a capture!

For those that want to know more, you can join the Better Business Bureau today from 11am – 1pm as they host a Lure Party on Fourth Street.

13698000_1087264898007488_5132081185263765839_oOr stop by Cake, Hope and Love for the best cupcakes and a guarantee of pokemon.  Shop owner Shannon Teague got inspired and as she says, “I spent last weekend watching every video, reading as many articles as I could find about Pokemon.  And I  realized I could use lures to attract the pokemon hunters and offer incentives to them as well.  I’ve met so many new people through this promotion and we’re having fun with it!”

Chili’s in Beavercreek learned that the game has made their restaurant a hot spot for captures.  While we didn’t really have anything to do with it it seems to be drawing people to our location.  Manager Macy comments, “I see all kinds of people walking around the restaurant with their phones, in and out of the bathrooms and around just searching.  Our business has been up the last week or so, and I’m not sure if it’s do to the Pokemon Go hunters, but we’re happy to have them.”13717283_990207904425161_1884238073850659101_o

Proto Build Bar is welcoming the POKEMONGO community tonight with  two pokestops  at their  location  tonight.  They’ll also pulling out their retro consoles and arcade machines. They are also raffling off two tickets to Daytons Mini Maker Fair this Saturday.

And the Oregon District is planning a Poke Pub Crawl July 30th at 9pm all over the District  What better way to bring more people together than Pokemon and beer! Start at one end of The Oregon and finish at the other end.  Who knows how many pocket monsters you’ll find that night!

One things for sure, Dayton is into Pokemon GO, but a word of caution- you will use data, so if you don’t have an unlimited data plan for your phone, be careful.
