Special Edition Trotwood Lager Can: Triangle Park Movie!

By

Warped Wing Brewing Company, headquartered in the heart of Downtown Dayton, Ohio, is excited to announce the launch of a Special Edition Trotwood Lager can in collaboration with PalMar Studios, producers of the upcoming Triangle Park Movie! Allen Farst, director of the film and founder of PalMar Studios, will be on-site at the Dayton Taproom for the official launch of the Triangle Park Trotwood Lager 6pks on Thursday, September 28th, beginning at 4pm for a meet & greet and autograph signing. Event attendees can also enter to win a pair of tickets to special movie preview night at the Neon in November. The tickets include a Q&A with Allen following the showing.

“We’re all about celebrating Dayton’s rich history,” said Nick Bowman, Co-Founder and VP of Sales &

Marketing at Warped Wing. “The narrative of Triangle Park hosting the inaugural NFL game in Dayton has always been something our team has wanted to commemorate, but the timing was never right until the Triangle Park Film team approached us with the idea of a collaboration. It’s a great honor that we have the opportunity to pay homage to the Dayton Triangles with this special edition Trotwood Lager can!”

The film is scheduled to be released in theaters this November and on Amazon Prime Thanksgiving Day – and will feature several stars from the football world including Troy Aikman, Ben Roethlisberger, Larry Fitzgerald, Tony Dungy, Sean McVay, Joe Buck, Kirk Herbstreit and Cris Collinsworth. Additional details & a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie can be found at www.triangleparkmovie.com.

Copy on the can reads: “Sunday. October 3rd. 1920. Triangle Park. Dayton, O. The first-ever NFL game. 1 of 14 original professional football teams – The Dayton Triangles. Many interesting storylines existed with prohibition. An innovative town that had just risen back from a major flood. Women could vote. Professional football is born. Triangle Park celebrates an American football legacy. Relive the glory.”

Triangle Park Special Edition cans will hit distribution the week following the Taproom launch and will be available at select retailers while supplies last.

Warped Wing Brewing Co. is a Dayton craft brewery inspired by Ohio’s rich history of innovation and invention. We are committed to carrying that spirit forward by brewing new proprietary beer styles along with original “warped” interpretations.

Warped Wing Brewing Company to Open North of Dayton

By

Warped Wing Brewing Company, headquartered in the heart of Downtown Dayton, Ohio, is excited to announce plans for a new Brewery and Taproom location in Huber Heights! Planned to open in Spring/Summer 2023, the new location at 6602 Executive Boulevard in Huber Heights will feature a large taproom with outdoor biergarten, warehouse & production space, private event space with small pilot brewing system and food menu focused on smoked foods similar to the Springboro & Mason taprooms. Seating capacity is 127 in the main taproom, 48 in the event space, and 104 in the outdoor biergarten.

“Huber Heights has a great community of craft beer fans. During the pandemic we delivered more beer via our home delivery program to Huber Heights than any other community. We are forever grateful for their support during that difficult time and so opening this new brewery at The Heights means so much to our team” said Nick Bowman, co-founder and VP of Sales and Marketing. “Huber Heights is definitely a community on the move and we are very excited to be a part of it” said Bowman.

“We are planning on adding a pilot brewing system at our new location in Huber Heights” said John Haggerty, co-founder and Brewmaster at Warped Wing. “The flexibility of having multiple systems allows us more opportunity to experiment and create unique offerings exclusive to our taprooms” said Haggerty.

“We are very excited to continue our partnership with Warped Wing Brewing Company and work with them on their new Huber Heights location” said Jerad Barnett, President & CEO at Synergy & Mills Development. “With the proximity to the growth in northern Huber Heights and the Rose Music Center area as well as fantastic visibility from I-70 and land for additional growth in the future, we believe this is the perfect site for Warped Wing’s fourth location and look forward to beginning construction soon and opening this facility in the spring of 2023.” said Barnett.

In addition to Warped Wing’s vast selection of beers available, the taproom will also serve a variety of beverages including wine, seltzer, hard cider, and spirits with a focus on specialty cocktails as well as non-alcoholic options like housemade sodas.

Construction is set to begin this Fall and is expected to be completed in Spring of 2023. More details to be released as plans for the new Huber Heights location develop. 

 

Killer New Collaboration Beer From Warped Wing.

By

Warped Wing has just announced their newest collaboration-  Killer Brownie® Brown Ale.
A culinary meld of craft goodness. You will get aromas of deep, rich chocolate up front. Followed up with sips of chocolate, caramel, vanilla and molasses. It’s like a brownie in liquid form. And it’s killer.
The Killer Brownie Company is owned and operated by the same family as Dorothy Lane
Market. What started as one unforgettable fudge-y, gooey, double-layered brownie nestled
with pecans and velvety caramel—The Original—has grown into a robust offering of
gourmet brownie flavors, including seasonal additions.
“Killer Brownie is a Dayton staple and we’ve always wanted to partner with them on a beer.”
said Nick Bowman, VP/Sales & Marketing and Managing Partner at Warped Wing. “This
project has been a few years in the making but here we are and I’m excited to bring forth into
the world our liquid version of the famous Killer Brownie!”, said Bowman.
“The folks at Warped Wing are true masters of their craft.” said Jessica Uttinger, Director of
Marketing and Creative Services at Killer Brownie®. “When we began discussing a
collaboration in 2019, it was immediately clear—they would create a brew that mirrors the
decadence Killer Brownie® is known for. Their commitment to quality is matched only by
their love of community, which made them ideal partners to work with. Gathering people
together to share joyful moments over food and drink is something they’ve long been known
for, and it’s an honor to have the Killer Brownie® name on one of their cans.” said Uttinger.
Killer Brownie Brown Ale will launch in the Dayton & Springboro Taprooms on Thursday,
February 3rd – just ahead of Valentine’s Day. It will also be available at Warped Wing’s new
Taproom location opening on Friday, February 4th in Mason, OH. The beer will be available
on draught for on-site consumption and in 6-pack 12 oz. cans to go. Custom branded glasses
will be available for purchase in the Warped Wing Taprooms (while supplies last) to make for
an unforgettable and commemorative experience.

Warped Wing Sets Opening Date for Mason Location

By

Warped Wing Brewing Co. is excited to announce the Grand Opening of their new Mason, Ohio location! The Warped Wing Brewpub & Smokery is located at 5650 Tylersville Rd (at the corner of 42 and Tylersville Rd) and the Grand Opening will take place on Friday, February 4th. The 13,000 square foot facility boasts a large Taproom featuring a menu filled with smoked foods along with an outdoor biergarten opening in the Spring, a small pilot brewing system, and flexible event space.
“It was definitely a unique and rewarding experience melding what was once an old world Irish pub and a fine dining restaurant into a brewery and taproom but our contractors and design team knocked it out of the park,” said Nick Bowman, VP of Sales & Marketing at Warped Wing. “I’m proud of what we’ve put together and excited to share it with the Mason community.”

Brewmaster & Managing Partner John Haggerty is also looking forward to the new space opening in Mason. “I am looking forward to working on some collaboration beers with our fellow Masonians! We already have something in the pipeline with Sonder, a Hoppy Red Rye Ale, and am looking forward to getting together with the other guys in town. It will be great to rub elbows with these guys and be able to learn how they think about beer” said Haggerty. The Sonder collaboration beer, Ryesing Tides, will be on tap for the Grand Opening.
 
Erin O’Neill, Culinary Director & Director of Retail Operations, will bring an innovative and eclectic menu to complement the robust beer selection, similar to that of the Warped Wing Barrel Room & Smokery which opened in Fall of 2020 in Springboro. There will be a major focus on smoked meat/food items and many of the dishes will feature Warped Wing beers as ingredients. “The smoker is delivered and the smell of smoking meats will soon fill the air” said O’Neill. “It is very exciting to bring our Warped culinary experience to Mason and the surrounding areas. We are building a great team and are excited to put our stamp on an already great food scene.” 
Other libations will include hard cider, wine, and a spirits menu with a focus on specialty cocktails, as well as non-alcoholic options like mocktails and housemade sodas, like Root Beer.

A Third Warped Wing Location Announced

By

Warped Wing Brewing Company, headquartered in Downtown Dayton, Ohio, is excited to announce plans for a new Brewery and Taproom location
in Mason, Ohio at 5650 Tylersville Rd (at the corner of 42 and Tylersville Rd). Warped Wing Mason is planned to open in Fall 2021. The 13,000 square foot facility will boast a large taproom with outdoor biergarten, small pilot brewing system, and eventually a flexible event space.  Initially, there will be a focus on opening the main dining area and patio space, with expanded seating and private rental options to be developed at a later time.


“This new site has a rich history in the Mason community and the building itself has such a unique story. We want to pay homage to that history while bringing some new life to the space,” said Nick Bowman, co-founder and VP of Sales and Marketing. “We are excited to join the Mason community and be part of its growing brewery scene,” said Bowman.

“Our plan is to put a small pilot brewing system into the Rathskeller (basement) of the building. The size is TBD as we have not yet finished contracting it. I believe we are going to focus on making “high gravity” or stronger beers on it, allowing us to focus on other styles at the Springboro plant,” said John Haggerty, co-founder and Brewmaster. “Having said that, there really are no rules and we will make what makes sense at the time at either location. In the end, it just gives us that much more flexibility in what we do on the pilot systems,” said Haggerty.
The new facility will not only feature a small pilot brewing system, beers on tap, 6pk cans and bottles to go, but will also offer a full service dining experience similar to that of the Warped Wing Barrel Room & Smokery located in Springboro, Ohio.

“Our food program getting started will focus on smoked meats. We do traditional BBQ with classic housemade sides inspired by BBQ all over the country but we are not just a BBQ place as we are constantly experimenting with other ways to use smoked meats in non-traditional ways, from tacos to poutine. We have a focus on scratch-made sides and the highest quality ingredients,” said Erin O’Neill, Culinary Director & General Manager of Retail Operations. O’Neill adds, “One of my favorite things about our culinary program is how each location takes on its
own personality over time and we get to express that personality through our food specials and seasonal menu changes. From our signature bison bacon burger and our smoked wings, to our unique appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and tacos, we truly feel we have something for everyone.”’

With a unique focus on smoked and beer-infused foods, the new taproom will bring an exciting menu to complement Warped Wing’s robust beer selection. Other libations available in the Taproom will include hard cider, wine, and a spirits menu with a focus on specialty cocktails, as well as non-alcoholic options like mocktails and housemade sodas.

Warped Wing is now in the process of posting and interviewing for positions at the new Warped Wing Mason location. Please visit warpedwing.com/careers for more information.

Warped Wing To Launch Bottled Soda Brand

By

The newly forged Warped Wing Soda Co. will soon be releasing a non-alcoholic, gluten-free, and caffeine-free root beer. The root beer is made with real cane sugar and will be available in 6pk 12oz bottles. The soda will be released to retail partners and will also be available at the Warped Wing Taproom in Dayton and the Warped Wing Barrel Room & Smokery in Springboro.
“This is an exciting opportunity for us,” said Nick Bowman, VP/Sales & Marketing and Managing Partner at Warped Wing. “We have been testing our housemade root beer as a draught only offering for a few years with tremendous success and now we have the
opportunity to offer it as a bottled option to our valued customers. We have seen a growing demand for a true craft soda and we are proud to be part of this category,” said Bowman.
The launch of the new soda brand will coincide with a partnership with Graeter’s Ice Cream. A special collaborative root beer float has been developed to bring both of these craft brands together and will be exclusively offered at both Warped Wing locations beginning Friday, July 23rd. The Dayton area Graeter’s Ice Cream shops will have bottles of root beer available for carryout as well as a special root beer float package available for delivery the following week. Additional venues for this collaboration are still in development, such as a “Movie Night” inspired float where families can enjoy a night on the lawn at Wright Station across from the Barrel Room & Smokery. More information will be forthcoming as details come together.
The root beer will start hitting the market the week of July 26th and you can find it at your favorite local accounts that carry Warped Wing products. “We also have other flavors in the development stage but we are going all in on root beer out of the gate,” said Nick Bowman. “We see this eventually becoming a portfolio of sodas to satisfy a wide variety of palates.”

Our First Impressions of Warped Wing Barrel Room & Smokery

By

We first wrote about the opening of Warped Wings newest spot that opens Saturday to the public.
But one of the cool perks we get at DaytonDining is being invited to pre-openings of some of the areas restaurants, breweries, bakeries and distilleries.

The logo hangs on the wall in the private function room.

Today we headed to the the  new Warped Wing Barrel Room & Smokery in Springboro.⁣ Nicole Marie, Bryan Suddith and I visited this afternoon and all three of share our first impressions:

Nicole Marie

Nicole:
I’m looking forward to bringing friends to this new location! The addition of their curated cocktail menu is a great touch. While Warped Wing is known for their beer, the option for something different should make this location a must-visit. I tried the – the Ole Hickory Shandy and The Panther were pretty tasty.⁣- Oyo Vanilla Bean Vodkea, hickory smoked simply syrup, fresh lemon and pineapples juices topped with Trotwood Lager and The Panther- Stillwrights Light run, coconut liqueur, blue cuacao, pineapple juice, fresh squeezed lime juice topped off with Warped Wings housemade Ginger Ale.

They’ve done a fantastic job of trying to keep as many things as possible locally sourced. Cheers to that!

Bryan Suddith

Bryan:

Sometimes you find superb barbecue in the unlikeliest of places. Like the new Warped Wing Barrel Room & Smokery.  They are smoking brisket, pork belly, wings, pork shoulder and turkey on a legit Ole Hickory Pits smoker out back.

I’m not gonna lie. Expectations were low and they exceeded them all. The pork belly sliders with fried jalapeño slices were awesome. Just a touch of sweet bbq sauce. Same with the brisket sliders. Great peppery bark and full of smoke flavor. Tender. Good pull. One of the best bites of brisket I’ve had in Ohio! The onion straws and cheese just added to the bite. Wings. Smoked then flash fried for service. Get em with the dry rub.

All In all. 4.5 ribs out of five. Great room. Great service. Awesome bbq.

 

Lisa Grigsby

Lisa:

The layout felt very urban and if it hadn’t been raining when we went, I’m sure the 2 big garage doors opening to the patio would have let in an awesome breeze.  There is a private room, perfect for a meeting or special event, which seats about 30 right now, but post-covid will be a great place for beer dinners of up to 50.  Servers came to your table to take your drink orders. If you wanted to order food, you were given a timed buzzer and when if went off you could go to the Smokery Window and place your order, which kept you from waiting in line and is very socially distance and safe. When your food is ready, they bring it right to your table.

I agree with Bryan on the meat, and thoroughly enjoyed the Tater Kegs- big oversized tots stuffed with bacon, cheddar cheese and chives.   The sliders come with your choice of fresh cut fries, cowboy chili, mac ‘n cheese, collard greens, jalapeno cheddar grists, BBQ bans or coleslaw.

I predict that this Springboro brewery will be quite the hot spot!

Warped Wing’s New Springboro Location to Open Saturday

By

Warped Wing Brewing Co., a Dayton, Ohio based brewery, announces its official opening of The Warped Wing Barrel Room &  Smokery. The unique barrel-aged facility, taproom, eatery and test pilot brewery is located at the new Wright Station development, in the heart of downtown Springboro, located at the intersection of State Routes 741 and 73. The 20,000 square foot facility boasts a large taproom with outdoor biergarten and a flexible event space. The remaining facility will accommodate up to 400+ aging barrels along with a small-scale brewery and distribution hub.

Warped Wing will provide a one-of-a-kind experience for patrons. Special customer programs are being developed such as a Barrel Club Reserve membership, which will allow members to get up-close, hands-on tour experiences, exclusive tastings and first offering purchases of extremely limited bottles. Warped Wing has won accolades for a series of their barrel-aged products such as “Whiskey Rebellion”. They continue to develop many other brands within their traditional beer and barrel-aged portfolio.

“Our barrel-aging program has propelled us into an interesting place” said Nick Bowman, co-founder and VP of Sales and Marketing. “My partner, Co-founder and Brewmaster John Haggerty has a wealth of knowledge and experience with brewing and barrel aging,” said Bowman. “He pushes the creativity of recipe development to another level. Barrel aging is an intimate and patient process. A lot of our beers rest in wood for up to a year or longer. We are excited to share this process and experience with our customers. The Barrel Room & Smokery will take beer to a new level and will change the way people perceive and interact with beer. That is what I’m most excited about” said Bowman.

“The pilot brewing system will give us endless opportunities to experiment with new beer styles and flavor profiles” said Bowman.

The new facility will not only offer bottled and draft barrel-aged beers but also a staple of its flagship beers such as IPA’s, stouts, lagers and other styles. There will also be an extensive bottle collection for patrons to choose from which will be available to drink on premise or purchased to go.

Warped Wing and Land Grant team up on “virtual” beer collaboration

By

Warped Wing and Land Grant aren’t letting this pandemic keep them from coming together on a virtual beer collaboration – on Thursday, August 20th, Warped Wing Brewing Co. in Dayton and Land Grant Brew Co. in Columbus will be launching Long-Distance High Five Gose in their Taprooms. Long Distance High Five Gose will launch in both draught and 6pk 12oz cans cans at Warped Wing and cans only at Land Grant. Warped Wing will release their version of the beer in the Dayton market on Monday, August 24th, and Land Grant will release their version of the beer in the Columbus market on Thursday, August 20th – the same day as their Taproom launch.


The Long-Distance High Five Gose is inspired by Ohio’s rich farm country heritage. The beer is a celebration of some of Ohio’s top agricultural products including corn, wheat, and honeysuckle. 

 

“We’ve wanted to partner with each other in the past but timing wasn’t right.”, said Nick Bowman, VP/Sales & Marketing and Managing Partner at Warped Wing. “So with the quarantine we thought it would be cool to push the limits and create a virtual collaboration.  A few Zoom meetings later and LDH5 was born…” said Bowman.
 
“When we collaborate on a beer, we really want to do something that is reflective of what both breweries are passionate about.”, said Dan Shaffer, Head Brewer at Land Grant. “The unique ingredients and processes we used to make these beers are truly reflective of the people, place, and time in which they were created” said Shaffer. 

Warped Wing Brings on Culinary Director & New Menu

Warped Wing Brewing Co. has hired Erin O’Neill to design and run the culinary program at Warped Wing. The culinary program will be reflected at both the downtown Dayton location as well as a new location, “Warped Wing Barrel Room & Smokery”, a unique barrel- aging facility, Taproom, eatery and test pilot brewery – scheduled to open in the summer of 2020 in Springboro, OH.

Warped Wing helped pioneer the craft beer experience in Dayton over 5 years ago and is the #1 selling craft beer brand in the area. Warped Wing has won accolades for a series of their beer brands within their traditional beer and barrel-aged product portfolio.

“Our drive for making great craft beer has now evolved into a complete customer beverage and food program”, said John Haggerty, co-founder and Brewmaster. “Bringing on Culinary Director Erin O’Neill takes us to another level to the benefit of our customers,” said Haggerty. “Erin’s love for creating an amazing food experience is exciting. And seeing how he executes his skills while building menus designed around our beers is even more impressive. It’s a total flavor experience”, Haggerty added.

“My passion for food and beer comes to fruition through the eyes of our customers”, said O’Neill. “Seeing the expression of joy on a customers face is what keeps me excited about this business. Partnering with our brewers to create one-of-a-kind food and beverage selections that compliment one another is what we are all about. Beer has always been about sharing. Now our food program lives up to that same expectation”, said O’Neill.

Warped Wing’a  new menu for the downtown Dayton location debuts  Thursday, June 27th, right before the 4th of July holiday.

The restaurant at both locations will bring innovative, sharable, eclectic menus to complement the robust beer selection. The new Springboro location will have a major focus on smoked meat/food.
