Grand Opening for Urbana Brewing Co

By

Under the leadership of three long-time Urbana residents, Jason Kile, Neal Pence, and Jamon Sellman, Urbana Brewing Co. hopes to build up a burgeoning nightlife in the small town, and ultimately attract beer lovers from across the Miami Valley.

Pence shows off his recently installed brewing system.

“I started with a two-gallon Mr. Beer kit, bought at a local drugstore,” Pence, the head brewer said, when describing his transition from hobbyist brewer to business partner. “Quickly I expanded there to five gallons system and most recently I was brewing on what’s known as a half-barrel system.”

At Urbana Brewing Co. his output will expand tenfold, but Pence said the basics remain the same. “You start with hot water, you mix in grain, you take the liquid off, you add in your flavors and hops and then you let the yeast do their magic,” he said. “Mankind has been doing it for as far back in history as we can really see.”

When the brewery gets up and running, Pence wants that process to be on full display, with his brewing system featured prominently on the main floor, along with a family-friendly set of games, while those looking for a quieter atmosphere can head upstairs to the furnished rooftop.

At the center of the experience though, Pence wants to make sure his beer shines.

“The bar ends up being your focal point for any good brewery,” he said.

An engineer, Pence said he came to Urbana about 20 years ago for his first job in his field, decades later, he’s proud to call the city his home.

“I’ve always been a small-town person at heart and I just love what Urbana has to offer,” he said.

The above was originally posted by Michelle Alfini of Spectrum News.

It’s grand opening weekend for the brewery, starting at noon Friday, Nov 18th.

Urbana Brewing Co will be operating under a self service model. You’ll order your beer and food at the bar, your beer will be poured then, you’ll be notified when your food is ready.

Crowlers and growlers will not be available during grand opening weekend, but look for them in the near future.

Here’s the opening beverage menu:

Limited edition art glasses to celebrate Ohio Pint Day

By

Ohio Pint Day will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2022 at more than 180 participating breweries across the state. Craft beer enthusiasts are invited to purchase a limited-edition collectible pint glass available exclusively at the participating brewery taprooms.In partnership with OCBA member breweries and Boelter Beverage, $1 from every glass will be donated to the OCBA.

Ohio Craft Brewers Association commissioned Juan Vergara, co-owner of Pulpo Beer Company in Willoughby, to design the 2022 Ohio Pint Day glass. Here’s his statement about the design:

My inspiration behind this year’s Ohio Pint Day design was Solidarity. With every struggle the hospitality industry has been through in the past couple of years and as it continues to this day, we shall never forget that lending a helping hand between all of us and sharing our misfortunes and accomplishments we can all survive and overcome. This design is also to inspire those who remain in this hard fought industry to remember why they are in it, to enjoy it, because it is a craft like no other to welcome and pamper customers while providing a great experience. Also, to those who patronize our establishments to be courteous, patient and enjoy themselves, but to also remember to stand in solidarity with your favorite local businesses, because these are who make your communities whole and unique.

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. 

 

Brewery & WYSO Celebrate Partnership

By

Yellow Springs Brewery and WYSO will release the second version of the WYSO-inspired Vox Populi beer at a dance party this Friday, August 16, at the brewery’s Barrel Room.

Radio Basim, host of “Behind the Groove,” will DJ from 7–9 pm, and Chef Dane will be on site from 5–8 pm to prepare dinner. Screen printer Four Ambition will be in the parking lot starting at 6 pm to print T-shirts, with the Vox Populi artwork, that will be available only at the event.

Vox Populi was first released in 2014, as an American Pale Ale. The new batch is a pilsner, brewed with German malt and German and Czech hops, and will be available Friday only on tap (no cans yet).

WYSO Music Director Juliet Fromholt said this long-time partnership with Yellow Springs Brewery formed easily because both organizations are community-minded. “It felt natural to celebrate that,” she said. “It’s so wonderful to combine our talents to gather the community together—and dance!”

On Friday, attendees can also get maps for and information about the musicians playing at Yellow Springs Porchfest, which starts at noon on Saturday. During this free event, local musicians play on the porches, in the front yards, and on the patios of homes and businesses within about a half mile radius of downtown Yellow Springs.

It’s Miami Valley Craft Beer Week- Sept 10 -17

By

Dayton’s craft breweries started popping up in 2013 and have continued to grow with over 30 local breweries dotting the landscape. In 2017 they introduced the Dayton Ale Trail, encouraging beer lovers to visit each brewery, collecting stamps in their passport books and turn them in for swag each year.  In 2019 they joined together to host the “Dayton Strong Beer Bash” raising funds to support  local tornado relief efforts in the wake of the devastating storms that destroyed so many homes and businesses in the Miami Valley.

Now over 30 breweries have joined together to launch Miami Valley Craft Beer Week.

They banded together to brew “So Original” IPA with the help of sponsors Imperial Yeast and BSG Craft. Unique versions of the collaboration beer were brewed at Bock Family Brewing, Branch & Bone Artisan Ales, Bushrod Brew Works, Hairless Hare Brewery, Lock 27 Brewing, Southern Ohio Brewing and Star City Brewing.  You’ll be able to sample “So Original” IPA starting Sat, Sept 1oth.

 

Throughout the week, the participating breweries will hold a variety of events in their taprooms, including special beer releases, food and beer pairings, games and more. Here are a few of the highlights:

27 Breweries to Celebrate American Craft Beer Week May 16-22

By

Just a few years ago, the term ‘microbreweries’ was used to refer to what we now call ‘craft breweries’. This term was used to distinguish small-scale brewers from ‘macro’ brewers. The pioneers of the micro revolution were two breweries — the Boston Beer Company, which produces the beer Samuel Adams, and Sierra Nevada. Both breweries were some of the earliest adopters of the hallmarks of craft brewing and achieved success regardless of their small production scale.

In 2006 American Craft Beer Week was established as an  annual springtime salute to local beer and local breweries. It’s an opportunity to honor the hometown gathering places that give our communities their unique flavor. We invite you to toast the local businesses that have endured tough times to ensure our glasses, growlers, and beer fridges remain full. Head over to your local brewpub or taproom and enjoy a pint, or grab a sixer or growler to-go.

Grab your Dayton Ale Trail passport and head to the  local breweries to celebrate.  We reached out to all the breweries and have  listed special events for those that shared them with us:

A statewide celebration is the From the Heart fundraiser collaboration beer that directly supports the mission of the Ohio Craft Brewers Association: to promote, preserve, diversify and unify Ohio’s craft brewing industry.

More than 70 Ohio breweries are gearing up to celebrate  American Craft Beer Week with a special statewide collaboration brew. From the Heart: Volume 2 is a fundraising beer to benefit the Ohio Craft Brewers Association, the non-profit trade organization working to promote and protect the state’s craft beer industry.

The From the Heart fundraiser was made possible through the generous support of OCBA allied business members Blue Label Packaging, the Country Malt Group, Crosby Hops, Great Western Malting, Lemon Grenade Creative and Origin Malt who donated ingredients and packaging materials for the project.

Breweries participating in the collaboration purchased the donated ingredients from the Ohio Craft Brewers Association and brewed a variation on a hazy IPA recipe developed by Chris Davison of Wolf’s Ridge Brewing and Dan Shaffer of Land-Grant Brewing Company. The name “From the Heart” – coined by Krista Alvarado of 4KD Crick Brewery in Defiance – was chosen last year out of dozens of suggestions from our members.

The Ohio Craft Brewers Association counts nearly three-quarters of Ohio’s 396 independently-owned craft breweries among its membership. The organization provides a wide range of member services, including legislative advocacy at the Ohio Statehouse, brewery marketing through programs like the Ohio On Tap passport app, technical and educational conferences and seminars, and community-building connections between breweries and the businesses that support the industry

Lock 27th Re-Releases Sunfish-American Pale Ale

By

Lock 27 Brewing has announced their 3rd of 10 historic beers being released out of the Lock 27 Brewing vault to celebrate their 10th Anniversary: Sunfish – American Pale Ale.
Sunfish was Lock 27 Brewing’s first Pale Ale brewed in 2014 and was the nickname of the actual Lock 27 located in Miamisburg along the Miami and Erie Canal. So naturally, it felt fitting to be the name of one of their earliest brews.
Sunfish now stands as an ode to the early days of craft beer. A classic American Pale Ale brewed with Belma hops, giving us hints of strawberry & melon citrus flavors. It’s light in body with a perfect malt foundation that keeps the bitterness as bay.
Sunfish will be released Thursday May, 12th at 5pm in the Lock 27  Brewpubs!
ABV – 5.8%
IBU – 43

Lock 27 Release Two New Beers

By

Lock 27  Brewing is releasing two new beers today inspired and crafted for Cinco de Mayo, these new brews are available on tap in our brewpubs for a limited time!
Mexican Lager
To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, they are releasing a traditional Mexican Lager using yeast straight from Mexico City.
While most other US craft breweries take inspiration for Mexican brews from a certain light beer with lime often found on beaches, Lock 27 looked to Modelo Negra for inspiration when crafting the perfect Cinco de Mayo Lager. The nutty flavor notes with hints of caramel create a flavorful darker beer and easily drinkable brew. This beer has been properly lagered for over a month, giving us that beautiful crisp, clean lager finish.
ABV – 5.5%
IBU – 22
Margarita Gose
The brew team got a little creative with this lime-packed sour beer, getting this brew as close to the classic lime margarita that a beer can get. Margarita Gose is loaded with lime juice and puree, orange peel, and a touch of agave nectar – finished with coriander and Himalayan pink salt, for the ultimate margarita flavor!
ABV – 5.5%
IBU – 10

10 Beers for 10 Years at Lock 27

By

Today is the 2nd release in Lock 27’s 10 Beers for 10 Years promotion releasing a beer from the Lock 27 Brewing vault to celebrate their 10th Anniversary! The re-released brews were made by Lock 27 at some point over the past decade but were eventually retired – until now. In coordination with the re-releases, customers can earn a chance to win limited edition anniversary prizes. With each 10th anniversary beer purchase, customers will be offered a stamp card that they can fill up with stamps for each anniversary beer purchased. The more stamps collected, the bigger the prize.

Release # w is 1492, an American Red IPA, was first brewed in 2013 as part of a Hop 101 experimental brewing series educating Lock 27 Brewing customers on the distinct characteristics of different hops. The Columbus hop was a fan favorite—enough to be officially named 1492 and be put on tap a few more times through 2017.

This brew is the perfect blend of strong hop flavor and sweet malts, with a moderately strong bitter taste that retains a dry finish and lean body – which makes IPAs so beloved. Its flavorful notes of caramel, toffee, and dark fruit make this Red IPA so distinctive, with an overall balance of sweet and hoppy.  Ohio.ABV- 7.7% and IBU- 77

Over the next month, Lock 27 Brewing will focus on the often-overlooked stories of this historic year from the perspective of the Native American community. They’ll be holding an educational event at the end of the month to highlight and celebrate Indigenous culture, contributions, and innovations. They’ll be sharing what the year 1492 meant to Native American people, and how their global contributions shaped the world that we know today. $1 of every 1492 purchase will be donated to the Sunwatch Indian Village to support the Native American community in Dayton,

This historic brew is hitting the taps at Lock 27 on April 14th at 5pm! Stay tuned on the 10th of each month for the next release.

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.
