Local Trio Purchases Bock Family Brewing

By

A new chapter is coming to a local brewpub. Local owners JT Rusch, Bill Perry, and Matthew Greene announced the purchase of Bock Family Brewing at 8150 Washington Village Drive and will begin operating the business as North Sea Brewing in May. The public-facing venue will be known as the North Sea Bierhall.

Bill Perry, JT Rusch, Matthew Greene

The acquisition brings together three local community members who will serve as the company’s leadership team. JT Rusch will serve as President and Director of Brewing, Bill Perry as Vice President and Director of Operations, and Matthew Greene as Food and Beverage Director. Together, the team says their focus will be simple: craft well, serve well, and welcome well. That means protecting the quality and character guests already appreciate while steadily building an experience people will want to return to again and again.
The new ownership team will officially take over operations on May 4 and say guests can expect much of what they already enjoy to remain in place, including the brewery’s current hours, a similar food menu, and many of the Bock Family beers customers have come to know and love.
For the new team, the goal is not to start over, but to build on what is already working. “We were drawn to what the Bocks and their staff created here,” said Rusch. “There is already a strong foundation of good beer, good food, and community in this space.”
Preserving that sense of welcoming and belonging is a top priority as well. “I want this business to be the most beloved Bierhall in the Dayton Region,” stated Greene. “That statement includes both the customers and the employees. We want everyone to be excited to come to North Sea Bierhall and connect with each other over good food, great drinks, and great experiences.”
Bock Family Brewing will host a farewell celebration on its final day of service, Saturday, May 2, from noon to 10 p.m. The business will then close on Sunday, May 3, to allow for the transition. North Sea Brewing will begin its soft launch in May with a grand opening celebration planned for summer 2026.

Every Thursday at 6:30 PM, the distillery at 122 Van Buren Street opens its doors for a behind-the-scenes tour of their production space.

The tour wraps up with a guided tasting of their handcrafted spirits, right in the heart of the production area.

At $10 per person, it’s one of the more affordable nights out you’ll find in Dayton, and a genuinely fun one. Whether you’re planning a date night, a friends’ outing, or just looking to geek out about craft spirits, this is the kind of low-key, high-quality experience the 937 does well.

Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to check in and grab a drink in the Van Buren Room before the tour kicks off.

5K Beer Fun Run Hits Loose Ends Brewing in Centerville This Valentine’s Weekend

Trade the roses for running shoes and raise a pint at the finish line. 🍻🏃‍♀️

On Saturday, February 14, 2026 at 11AM, the 2026 Ohio Brewery Running Series makes its way to Loose Ends Brewing for a 5K Beer Fun Run/Walk that blends fitness, fresh air, and craft beer into one lively community event.

This 5K-ish course starts and ends at the Centerville taproom, taking participants through the surrounding streets for a scenic, heart-pumping loop before returning to celebrate. Whether you’re a seasoned runner chasing miles or just looking for a fun walk with friends, this event is designed for all paces and personalities.

What You Get

All registered participants receive:

  • 🍺 One craft brew at the finish line from Loose Ends Brewing

  • 🎁 A seasonal swag item from the Brewery Running Series

  • 🎟 Entry into prize giveaways including Brewery Running Series merch and beer to take home

  • 🎶 Access to post-run festivities featuring live music, games, and partner activations

Because let’s be honest, crossing a finish line tastes better when it comes with a cold pint.

Run for Fun. Drink Local. Give Back.

The Ohio Brewery Running Series isn’t just about logging miles. The mission is simple: be active, have fun, and give back. To date, the series has raised over $500,000 for nonprofit organizations. This event continues that tradition, with 10% of proceeds donated to a local nonprofit chosen by Loose Ends Brewing.

So every step you take supports local community work. That’s cardio with a cause.

Limited Spots Available

Registration is capped to match the size of the taproom, and these events often sell out. If you want to celebrate Valentine’s Day with good vibes, good beer, and good company, sign up sooner rather than later.

Grab your friends, lace up your shoes, and meet at Loose Ends Brewing on February 14th at 11AM for a run that ends exactly where you want it to — at the bar.

Cheers to miles and malts. 🍺✨

Warped Wing Launches First Non-Alcoholic Beer

By

Warped Wing Brewing Co. today announced the launch of its first-ever non-alcoholic beer, Zero Altitude IPA, a taproom-exclusive release now available at all Warped Wing locations.

With the holiday season and Dry January fast approaching, Warped Wing is expanding its lineup to include a refreshing new way to enjoy the brewery experience – without the alcohol. The Zero Altitude series is crafted for guests who want to enjoy the social experience of a great beer while keeping their plans on course.

“Stick to the plan & hit cruise control with Zero Altitude IPA,” reads the can. “A full-flavor IPA with bright hop aroma & smooth drinkability. All the hop character you love – just lighter in lift. Zero altitude. Maximum flavor. No turbulence.”

Containing less than 0.5% alc/vol and pasteurized to ensure quality and safety, Zero Altitude IPA delivers the same vibrant hop character and smooth balance fans expect from Warped Wing – just without the buzz.

Nick Bowman, VP of Sales & Marketing and Managing Partner at Warped Wing, shared, “We’ve seen a huge influx of sober and sober-curious consumers over the past several years, and we think there’s a tremendous opportunity in this space. These guests still enjoy coming out to our taprooms for a great meal and want to have a quality beverage to go along with it. This new option gives them just that. In addition to our housemade sodas, floats, mocktails, and – in Dayton – our new lineup of Dirty Sodas, this non-alcoholic beer is another step toward making sure everyone has something special to enjoy when they visit Warped Wing”.

Zero Altitude IPA will be served exclusively and also available in 6-pack cans to go at all Warped Wing Taprooms for the time being, with a focus on serving guests within the brewery’s own four walls before expanding distribution.

 

Ohio Pint Day

By

Tuesday, Sept 23rd is the 5th annual Ohio Pint Day. Created as a fundraiser that directly supports the mission of the Ohio Craft Brewers Association: to promote, preserve, diversify and unify Ohio’s craft brewing industry.

More than 170 participating breweries across the state will participate and Craft beer enthusiasts are invited to purchase a limited-edition collectible pint glass available exclusively at the participating brewery taprooms.

This years glass commissioned Natasha Wheeler of NW Creative to design the 2025 Ohio Pint Day glass. Here’s her statement about the design:

Inspired by nature, I love to draw flowers and other natural elements. This flowing landscape features some of Ohio’s iconic blooms: sunflowers, cornflowers, trillium, rudbeckia and Ohio’s official state flower, the red carnation. The blooms are bundled together with hops, blending nature and the spirit of local craft beer. It’s a celebration of Ohio roots, craftsmanship and gathering.

$1 from every glass will be donated to the OCBA, which will currently go to support the lobbying  to ask the stage legislature update to Ohio’s franchise law that will reflect the current reality of the craft brewing industry. We need updated legislation that will promote economic growth and support small businesses in our state.

Ohio brewers have been forced to live and work under antiquated laws that haven’t been updated in more than 50 years. These laws established permanent, unbreakable contracts between breweries and wholesalers. The current law, written in 1974, gives wholesalers (the businesses that deliver Ohio craft beers to market) ultimate power in their relationships with brewers. Franchise law deprives brewers of the freedom to seek solutions when their small business needs are not met by the wholesaler.

You can Help Ohio’s small and independent breweries pass common sense, reasonable reforms to Ohio’s franchise law. Ask your legislators to support the Ohio Craft Brewer Freedom Act today. Use this link to use the brewers association quick contact form to support ask your reperesentative to support Ohio Craft Brewer Freedom Act today.

Ohio On Tap brewery passport app users will also be able to collect a bonus stamp by purchasing the glass. Users will be able to submit manual stamp request selfies with their glass from Sept. 23-28 to receive the stamp.

Miamisburg Brewery For Sale

By

Owner Justin Kohnen

Star City Brewing opened in 2013, with a focus on serving the Miamisburg community. According to owner Justin Kohnen the goal was “to bring new life to the historic Peerless Mill building, which had been closed for five years. The brewery started as a passion project to create a local gathering place where friends, neighbors, and visitors could enjoy high-quality craft beers in a welcoming environment. From the beginning, the goal has been to celebrate the local community while offering a unique, memorable experience that goes beyond the typical brewery.”

Kohnen says “I’ve loved owning Star City Brewing, but I’ve been considering stepping back for some time to focus on new opportunities and let someone else take the reins. The decision wasn’t made lightly — it’s about finding the right person who can continue running the business, maintain the community relationships we’ve built, and keep the brewery thriving. My goal is for the business to continue without disruption, with the same great experience for our guests and partners.

We’re looking for a buyer who values the community, the culture, and the relationships we’ve built at Star City Brewing. Ideally, the new owner will maintain the welcoming atmosphere, continue working with local nonprofits, and preserve the core offerings that make the brewery special. At the same time, we hope they consider other opportunities to grow the business, including adding food service or kitchen operations, expanding distribution in kegs and packaged products, and scaling private events, and memberships. This is a chance for the next owner to make Star City Brewing even bigger while keeping its community-focused spirit. Our goal is a seamless transition to a new owner who shares our vision and values. Guests can continue enjoying their favorite beers, ciders, cocktails, and events just as before. Our partnerships will continue, and the community-focused spirit of the brewery will remain unchanged. We’re committed to making sure that Star City Brewing continues to be a welcoming place for everyone in Miamisburg and the Dayton area.”

The sale includes the building (“The Old Peerless Mill”) and the Star City Brewing business. The sale also includes all Star City Brewing branded intellectual property (such as the logo, website, menu designs, and social media), beer recipes, and customer relationships. Interested buyers should contact Michelle Collins at Collins Real Estate for more information.

The brewery typically has 10–15 beers on tap, ranging from traditional ales to experimental small-batch brews, and we also offer a selection of hard seltzers and ciders. In addition they have specialty cocktails, a curated wine selection, and non-alcoholic options.

Bricky’s Comedy Club is a partner of Star City Brewing, and was founded in August 2022 by Dayton comedian Kevin Ruppert with some help from Midwest Comedy Tour. Our goal is for that partnership to continue seamlessly under new ownership. Shows will continue as usual, with the same schedule and the same mix of local and touring comedians. Guests can expect the same high-quality entertainment experience they’ve come to enjoy. Bricky’s also has an exciting upcoming event — they will be making another world record attempt February 11–15, 2026. Shows typically run Thursday through Saturday nights,  find their full show schedule at www.brickyscomedy.com

Justin shared, “It’s hard to put into words exactly what I’m most proud of, but looking back, the events and moments we’ve hosted always bring a smile to my face. Star City Brewing offers a relaxing, English pub–like atmosphere that’s hard to find anywhere else, where guests can unwind, socialize, and enjoy quality craft beers and ciders. We’ve hosted weddings, helped plan proposals, and countless occasions where people have met and fallen in love — some now married. We’ve helped local nonprofits raise thousands of dollars, been home to Bricky’s Comedy Club and other organizations to bring live entertainment and community events to Miamisburg and the Dayton area. These moments, big and small, are what I’ll remember most and make me proud of what we’ve built.

Justin  explained what he see’s in his future: “While I plan to step back from day-to-day operations at Star City Brewing, I’ll remain deeply connected to the Miamisburg and Dayton community and continue supporting the organizations and people that make this region special. Drawing on my degree and 20 years of software experience, along with the knowledge I gained building and managing the technical infrastructure of Star City Brewing, I plan to focus on the technical field, providing custom software solutions and consulting to local nonprofits and small businesses in need of this technical support.

Star City Brewing will remain fully open during the search for a new owner. Guests can continue enjoying the same beers, ciders, cocktails, and events without interruption. Current hours of operation are:

  • Monday–Thursday: 4 PM – 10 PM

  • Friday–Saturday: 4 PM – 11 PM

  • Sunday: 1 PM – 6 PM

319 S 2nd St, Miamisburg, OH 45342

Tuesday, Sept. 24 is Ohio Pint Day

By

Ohio Pint Day is a fundraiser that directly supports the mission of the Ohio Craft Brewers Association: to promote, preserve, diversify and unify Ohio’s craft brewing industry.

Ohio Pint Day will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2024 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.

They commissioned Sam Baird, art director at LemonGrenade Creative, to design the 2024 Ohio Pint Day glass. Here’s her statement about the design:

Ohio is known for several things. It’s home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the NFL, and was the birthplace of aviation. For this year’s Ohio Pint Day glass, I wanted to highlight the latter. Taking a lot of inspiration from early airplane designs, I wanted a fun, retro feeling with lots of movement. Now-a-days, we tend to focus a lot on the here and now, so it was nice to step back in time and appreciate the past achievements of our fellow Ohioans. But in short, planes are cool! I hope you enjoy the design as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Ohio On Tap brewery passport app users will also be able to collect a bonus stamp by purchasing the glass. Users will be able to submit manual stamp request selfies with their glass from Sept. 24-29 to receive the stamp.

TO CLAIM A BONUS PASSPORT STAMP:

  • Start this process at home or away from any brewery locations listed on the passport.
  • Tap the “Passport” icon at the bottom of the screen or the large “Passport” button on the Home screen to go to the Passport section of the app.
  • Tap the “Stamp My Passport” button at the bottom of the Passport screen.
  • When the dialog box pops up, tap the “Manual Stamp Request” link in the box. (If you are at a brewery while trying to do this and you do not already have that brewery’s stamp in your passport, the app will automatically give you the brewery’s stamp first. You will need to follow these directions again after the 30 minute waiting period and away from any brewery to get the Ohio Pint Day stamp.)
  • Tap the camera icon on the Manual Stamp Request screen to upload or take your selfie with the Ohio Pint Day glass.
  • Tap the “Select Location” button and choose “Ohio Pint Day 2024” from the list. *Do not choose the brewery you bought the glass from: your request will be rejected and you’ll need to start over again.*

7 Local Steinholding Competitions

By

Steinholding is a sport with elements of both strength and endurance, so any successful long-term training regimen needs to approach it accordingly. Like just about any other physical activity, doing it over and over and over again is the best way to get better at it. But there are also ways to to improve your time quickly by focusing on your form and following some of our simple guidelines.

As anyone who has held a stein for more than a couple minutes can tell you, steinholding is also a mental battle – not really against the other competitors but against yourself. The first time you raise that stein up, you’ll probably start out thinking: “This isn’t so bad. I can totally do this. For a good while.” Pretty quickly though, you’ll realize that your body simply does not want you to be a part of this activity.

Your shoulder will be the first thing that you start to lose control of and it will be a fight to keep your elbow locked and your arm straight out. If you last a little longer your upper back and then lower back will start to tense up. Your hand and arm will start to shake even as you put 100% of your body and mind into keeping them steady.

If it was just weakness you were fighting, none of this would be so bad. But after a couple of minutes, you are going to be fighting miserable discomfort and then eventually straight up pain for the remainder of the hold until you give up or your body fails you. Don’t worry though, because all of the other competitors are going to be feeling the same thing. The key is to just be better prepared than they are.

U.S. Steinholding Association Judging Guidelines:

Within the first 60 seconds of a competition, judges may provide corrections to competitors (hold higher, straighten back, straighten elbow, etc.) without assigning an official strike. However, if a competitor does not immediately make the correction, a strike should be issued. The allowance for corrections does not apply to spillage, which results in immediate disqualification even during the first 60 seconds.

Beer Lovers- Ohio Craft Brewer Freedom Act Needs Your Support

By

The Ohio Craft Brewer Freedom Act got a first hearing in the Ohio Senate this week. Now is the time to let your state lawmakers know that you support reform of the 50-year-old franchise law that locks small breweries into unfair, virtually unbreakable contracts with powerful beer wholesalers. Franchise laws can inhibit the growth of craft producers, limit consumer choice and lead to higher prices in the market.

Ohio is home to more than 430 independently owned craft breweries. These small business owners are forced to comply with the Ohio Alcoholic Beverages Franchise Act of 1974: legislation that was built to check the power of large corporations but now locks small brewers into unfair, effectively unbreakable contracts with large, powerful wholesalers (the businesses that deliver Ohio craft beers to market).

“Very few people in Ohio right now know that franchise law exists or how it impacts craft brewers. Because of this outdated law, we have no negotiating power, no recourse and no way out of unfair contracts. Our Brewers Freedom Alliance is working to change that,” says Mary MacDonald, executive director of the Ohio Craft Brewers Association. “We are appreciative that Senator Brenner and other Ohio lawmakers have heard our pleas for relief and are now taking action.”

TheBrewers Freedom Alliance urges Ohio lawmakers to support small Ohio business owners with this legislation.“This bill is about small business owners having the freedom and flexibility to make the best decisions for their employees, brewery and customers,” said Senator Brenner, R-Delaware. “I’m proud to carry this legislation that I know will make Ohio an even better place to live and do business.”
Please take a moment to ask your state legislators to help the small and independent breweries in their districts by supporting franchise law reform. Let’s send a message that craft breweries are important parts of our communities that we’ll fight to protect. 🍻
