Dayton Breweries Bring Home The Awards

May 21, 2018 By Lisa Grigsby

This past weekend in Lexington, KY the finale of their Craft Beer week celebration was the Alltech Craft Brews and Food Fest. With 60 breweries pouring over 200 beers from across the US, the highlight of the festival is the Commonwealth Cup Craft Beer Competition. Beers were judged on appearance, aroma, flavor, body, color, carbonation, foam, clarity, balance, drinkability, technical quality, and overall impression.

The Commonwealth Cup was awarded to the highest rated beer, which this year was awarded to Braxton Brewing Company for their Barrel Aged Dark Charge Mole Stout.

In addition to the Commonwealth Cup three tiers of recognition were awarded: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. A gold medal beer is an outstanding beer that displays the correct balance of taste, aroma and appearance appropriate for the style, and excellent technical merit. Dayton breweries bringing home the Gold are:

Dayton Beer Company – 3 Gold Medals:
Beast of Tadmor Village, Upright Smoked Lager,
Midnight Dream

Hairless Hare – 3 Gold Medals:
Imperial CRV, Barrel Aged Barley Wine, Barrel Aged Cold War

A silver medal beer is an excellent product that displays the correct balance of taste, aroma and appearance appropriate for the style, and a high level of technical merit. The Miami Valley can claim seven silvers:

Crooked Handle – 2 Silver Medals:

Wee Bit O Trouble

, Roadside Peanut Butter Porter

Hairless Hare – 4 Silver Medals:
Bitter Hare, 3 Quarter Porter, Kings Reserve, Kickback Kolsch

The Dayton Beer Company Lost Tunnel Deep Sea Diving

A bronze medal beer is a quality product with the correct balance of taste, aroma and appearance appropriate for the style, and the absence of major faults. Area breweries brought in six bronze medals:

Devil Wind Brewing – 2 Bronze Medals
Heading East, Steel Cut Stout

Lock 27 – 4 Bronze Medals
Alpheaus, Mouth Breather, Waterway, Brewing Charlosta

Crooked Handle: Trinity Haze

A great showing for Dayton breweries, especially for Devil Wind to medal, as a rookie brewery. We’re lucky to have such great local beers in the Miami Valley. Hope you get a chance to taste all these award winners soon!

Adrienne’s White Rabbit Lounge in Centerville

Adults need a break too. Kids can’t have all the fun this Easter. Today, Food Adventures suggests 3 Dayton area spots to go rabid.. errr rabbit on this weekend. They each have something in common. Can you guess what?

Let’s hop to it…..

— ADRIENNE’S WHITE RABBIT LOUNGE: This place is sure to be a future feature on “Dive Bar Tuesday” with Brian Petro. Have you ever been to a bar, where the whole place is .. well the bar? This is one of those places. It is a no-nonsense watering hole. It is a drinking person’s bar. The staff is friendly and the regulars are welcoming too. The drink prices are very cheap and some of the canned beer specials are amazing. Adrienne’s White Rabbit is located in a shopping center at 889 S. Main Street in Centerville. It is a perfect place for a happy hour after a long work day. Want a MUST DRINK this Easter weekend? This time of year, they are known for a PEEP SHOT. Yep, your shot may have a couple of the marshmallow bunny peeps hanging on the rim of the glass. How is that for unwinding? We suggest you start out your Friday evening here, this weekend….

Hairless Hare Brewery in Vandalia has some Great Beers

— HAIRLESS HARE BREWERY: Good beer, brewed on site, is the hallmark for this Easter weekend stop at 738 W. National Rd in Vandalia. The MUST DRINKS here are KICK BACK KOLSCH, AMERICAN ALE, BELGIAN HARE, T-DAWG AMBER ALE and SHADY RIVER WHEAT. Owners Matt Harris, Mike Legg and brewmaster Tony Dawes push the flavor envelope every month with new creations. The Hairless Hare also has some MUST EATS, the PIZZA. Homemade dough and premium toppings like salmon, are the reason these pizzas are unforgettable.

Speaking of unforgettable, do we have one for you, featuring Hairless Hare beers…. Chef House, Hungry Jax and the Big Ragu are excited for an upcoming Food Adventure dinner on April 1st at Company 7 BBQ featuring 5 food courses and 4 Hairless Hare Beers. Did you know you get all that and tip included for $25? Tickets are pre sale only and available at this LINK. Get your seat before they sell out !

— BUNNY’S HASTY TASTY PANCAKE HOUSE: Ok, this is The Big Ragu’s entry, so humor him. Bunny’s Hasty Tasty Pancake House at 3509 Linden Ave. is a Dayton icon. For the last 64 years, this place has been a staple in the Miami Valley. From the waitress BETTY who has worked there since 1974, to their comfort food, The Hasty Tasty Pancake House is one of a kind. We suggest you hit this place Saturday morning or Saturday 9pm and get PANCAKES as the MUST EAT, to soak up the weekend alcohol from the other 2 places. Want a different route? Another MUST EAT deal is the Friday night all you can eat fish fry for $8.25.

So there you go, 3 stops on the Adult Bunny Trail, this Easter weekend. Drink up, eat up and don’t overdo or you may oversleep through the Easter egg hunt!
