Eric Evans
It’s a new era fro Carillon Brewing Co, powered by The Dayton Barbecue Company. Owner Eric Evans is know for southern style of barbeque- cooked low and slow. He established his business in 2021, doing pop-ups at breweries around town and in March of 2024 they found what he thought would be a permanent home at Hidden Valley Orchards in in Lebanon.
They were a huge success there, selling out of their brisket, pork, spare ribs most weekend. Their mac and cheese and collard greens became customer favorites. But in Dec of 2024 Evans announced he was looking for a new home, after HVO owners Randy and Robyn Lane shared some upcoming changes with him.
When Brady Kress, president and CEO of Dayton History, heard they were looking for a new home, he approached Evans about taking over the food service at Carillon Brewing and it seemed like a good match. Evans approached his buddy Chef Ashley Ashbrook, who may be familiar to many from his Oregon District hot dog cart, Blind Dogs, to come on as Executive Chef and run the kitchen.
Guests can expect a menu that celebrates barbeque and Evans shared his excitement about his new Marketplace Salad loaded with veggies and smoked chicken,and crispy pork belly and house made dressings. In additions to his mac & cheese, they’ll have crispy brussell sprouts with abalsamic glaze, house made pickles and onion straws and Carillon Pretzel twists with home made beer cheese. Down the road look for locally made sausage to be added to the menu. For dessert, you’ll be able to enjoy a smoked apple bread pudding with a butterscotch topping.
