Fifth Street Brewpub Turns Eight

June 22, 2020 By Dayton Most Metro

Hard to believe that the Fifth Street Brewpub is celebrating their 8th birthday this week!

In 2010, a group of 34 St. Anne’s Hill residents invested to restore the local landmark at 1600 E. Fifth Street. The initial plan was to fix and sell the building to a business, but post-renovation, the building sat empty. The group realized that if they wanted a business in the building, they’d have to build one themselves. After a meeting with Jeff Black, brewer and a founding member of Austin, Texas’ Black Star Co-Op—America’s first cooperatively owned brewery—the St. Anne’s Hill neighbors decided to emulate Black Star’s model. It’s Ohio’s only co-op brewery and boasts thousand of owners.

With so many owners, a board of Directors is elected and they work hand in hand with General Manager Tanya Brock, who handles the day to day operations and works with brewmaster Darren Link to run the seven barrel brewhouse. And together they invite the community to come celebrate the brewpubs 8th birthday.

According to Brock, “while the celebration will look a bit different this year, we felt it was important to continue to have one. We were built by a community, saved in these recent times by the community, and continue to serve a community of close-knit neighbors, craft beer and food lovers, and friends. This week we invite that community to smile, drink, and share love whether here with us or virtually.

“By stretching the party over the course of the week we hope it allows everyone to participate and raise a toast in a comfortable, safe way,” says Brock

TUESDAY through SATURDAY at the brewpub…
Join us for a week of Fifth Street Beer growler fills/pitchers at a special $15 Tuesday through Saturday and $12 on Wednesday. (Does not apply to some premium fills.)

SATURDAY at wherever you find yourself…
Wherever you and your growler find yourself, post a picture with the tag #cheersfor8years on our page of you raising a glass in celebration! We’ll pick one winner at random on the following Tuesday for a $50 GIFT CARD as our way of saying thanks!

SATURDAY at the brewpub…
Our patio is open and we have limited and responsibly spaced seating available inside. Join us for:

– Smoked Chicken Wings with two different FSB beer-infused sauces!
– Free beer-infused birthday cake with each $15 Growler and Pitcher Fill!

Don’t forget you can take your #cheersfor8years picture at the Brewpup!

3 Dayton Breweries Medal at U.S. Open Beer Championships

July 9, 2018 By Lisa Grigsby

Breweries from South Carolina to South Korea sent in more than 6,300 beers representing more than 110 different styles for the 2018 U.S. Open Beer Championship. The competition is the only one to include beers from professional breweries and award-winning home-brewers, with judges from England, Canada and the United States.

Judging in the U.S. Open Beer Championships is blind; the judges know only the categories(117 categories were judged at this year’s U.S. Open), but they do not know what beers they are tasting. The final round of judging was held at the Quarter Barrel Brewery & Pub in Oxford, Ohio.

“This competition is significant because it accepts entries from breweries around the world and allows national winning homebrews to compete,” said Dow Scoggins, director of the U.S. Open Beer Championships. “Also, two college breweries took home medals at the U.S. Open. Niagara College won 2 golds and American Harvest Brewpub at Schoolcraft College brought home a gold and silver medal.”

Congratulations to our Dayton Winners:

Hairless Hair Brewery

Honey Beer
Gold – Honey Kickback Kolsch

Wood/Barrel-Aged Scotch Ale
Bronze – Kings Reserve

The Dayton Beer Co

American Style Fruit Beer
Bronze – Hidden Paradise

Wood / Barrel Aged Pale Beer
Silver – Ein Fass 1850

Fifth Street Brewpub

Herb and Spice Beer
Bronze – Mint Cookie Stout

Wood / Barrel Aged Strong Beer
Bronze – BA Schmidion Damme

Fifth Street Brewpub launches new Logo

February 6, 2018 By Dayton Most Metro

This week Fifth Street Brewpub is showing off it’s new brand.

They have adopted a new look with a new logo. After five years they figured it was time to refresh their branding image to remind the community of who they are and what they believe in while also reaching out to new audiences.

Working with Sharpe Creative they developed a logo that helps depict their long-ago adopted motto of “Building a Community, One Beer at a Time.” The logo is comprised of a hand with barley nestled in the palm. From friendly handshakes, to our hand-crafted beer and food, to the many hands that comprise this astoundingly strong co-op, and to the helping hand we lend the community though our charity events, the hand is a symbol of who we are, what we do, and how we connect. And the barley? Well, it is tough to be a brewpub without brewing great beer.

Brewmaster Darren Link turns out beers from the familiar to the unique. He is a master of the craft on his own as well as when partnering with local homebrew winners. Mint Cookie Stout, one of our most well-known beers- is an example of such a partnership with local Jim Witmer. Primarily delicious brews like this are only poured in the brewpub and through limited draft distribution. However, this week they are offering a new brew in bottles. Fifth Date, a stout brewed with lactose, fermented with cherry, and conditioned with chocolate, will be available in bottles beginning 4pm on Thursday, February 8th. 22oz bottles of the 6.5% ABV brew will be for sale in the brewpub and select regional bottle shops. This release makes the beer perfect for getting cozy and sharing the love this Valentine’s Day.

Additionally, to pair with this new beer they’ve crafted a new food menu. In following their brewpub fare tradition, this menu offers, as Chef Molly Parks puts it, “a take on familiar pub food with a comfortable, modern twist.” To be frank, it is simply a collection of food we love to eat while drinking beer. Top sellers such as the Salmon B.E.L.T., Henry Street Chips, Turkey Avo, and our Ohio-raised beef burgers are joined by 24 new menu items. We listened to the community as they shared with us their favorites, their wish for more selection, and their dietary needs. They are doing a soft launch of the menu beginning Tuesday, February 6th and then an official launch on Friday, February 9th.

Started in 2012 by the passion of 32 community members, a once rundown former bar was crafted into a neighborhood brewpub supported by a community of over 3,200 member/ owners. Nestled in St. Anne’s Hill Historic neighborhood among Victorian houses and small businesses, we are a neighborhood pub with a great big heart for giving back while quenching thirsts and filling appetites. . Member or not, their doors are open to all.

Visit the brewpub at 1600 E. Fifth Street Dayton, OH 45403

Hours:
Monday-Thursday 4pm-11pm
Friday 11am-12am
Saturday 10am-12am
Sunday 10am-10pm
