Eudora Open New Tap Room This Friday

By

It was one of the worst kept secrets in the beer business, when news of Eudora Brewing Company‘s expansion started leaking out last year.  Owner Neil Chabot opened the original brewery in November of 2013 in a strip center on Wilmington Pike in Kettering. Their 3 barrel brewing system just couldn’t keep up with the demand and the tap room was often at capacity.  They officially announced the new location last summer and the move wouldn’t be far, just a couple miles north on Wilmington Pike.  The new location, just south of Dorothy Lane is an old Pep Boys auto shop and is 20,000 square feet,  about six times the size of the original space, which shut down in October so they could start the move.

I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of the new facility, which will open to the public this Friday at 4pm. My first impression- WOW!  The spot is huge, wide open and really inviting!  They’ve kept enough of the original breweries decor and feel to make it feel familiar, but now it’s ready for big crowds!

 

 

Coming with them from the old spot were the Brew Your Own kettles, Eudora is the only place in the Miami Valley where customers can book time to brew their own beer.   Whether you’ve brewed before or you have no idea what you’re doing, their staff will guide you through every step of the process and make it as easy and as fun as possible. It’s a great team building experience, can serve as a fun idea for a bachelor party and the best part can be creating your own beer label. Al

Reservations for this brewing experience is on hold, as they have some equipment repairs to make, but they’ll begin taking reservations soon.

GAMING AREA

 

The pinball machine and video gaming systems also made the move and the have their own expanded dedicated area in the new venue.  Adding to the fun is the vintage bowling game and an expanded selection of board games and tables to spread out and play.

New additions to the tap room include two pool tables, which will offer free play, a large lounge area in front of the fireplace with leather couches, a huge patio with seating for over 100 and areas for cornhole as well as a fire pit.

charity: water

Also continuing, Eudora Brewing Co. will donate a portion of EVERY sale toward funding a water project for those in need of clean water.  They donate to a charity called “charity: water” whose mission is to end the water crisis happening all over the world. They’re a non-profit organization that donates 100% (yes, 100%) of the money contributed to help people in need of clean water. With each purchase you make at Eudora, you’re helping charity: water build wells and water purification systems in villages, schools and clinics in areas where water is difficult to obtain.

The custom built bar made locally by Jett’s Creek Woodworking is huge and gives plenty of spots to belly up to the 18 taps  and a nitro cold brew coffee system as well.

The new brewing system has increased to a 10 barrel brewing  system, and with the addition of brewmaster Jeff Fortney to the crew, Eudora has been brewing to get ready for the onslaught of beer lovers that have been awaiting a pint of Mother-Fuggle, Bangarang, The Bees-Kees or Thunberball.

Private Party Room

Speaking of Thunderball, that’s the name of the private room, available for booking for private functions.  Seating about 30, it’s decked out with table seating, a tv, whiteboards with a great view of the brewing area. Rates will run about $25-$50/hour, based of

Eudora Kitchen

But the biggest addition to Eudora is the new kitchen!  Owner Chabot knows a lot about brewing beer, but admits he knows nothing about running a kitchen, so he contracted with consultant Jonathan Kouse of Chef Therapy Group to help design the kitchen, hire Dylan and James for the kitchen crew and create the menu offerings.

 

Here’s the opening menu, but remember this is  new and menu items and prices will probably change as they work through the opening weeks of the  new eatery.

Dayton At Work and Play: Brett Smith

By

I met Brett Smith when I stopped by Branch & Bone Artisan Ales (905 Wayne). Brett is the founder and head brewer. I had never visited Branch and Bone before, but a lot of other people have already found this brewer that opened in June. I arrived just fifteen minutes after they opened one day and the place was already packed.

I visited to try a new beer called Pretzel Queen, which was made in partnership with Smales Pretzel Bakery. “I wanted to make a Kvass style beer,” Brett told me. “Traditionally, in Central Europe, that type of beer is made with rye bread. We made this one with rye malt and the famous Smales pretzel.”

Behind Brett you can see 12 taps. Each holds a different beer brewed at Branch and Bone. The offerings change regularly, Brett told me, as he tries new beers. My favorite beer name the day I visited was “Last Week’s Was Better.”

Food Service Coming to The Barrel House

By

A new option for food is coming to The Barrel House downtown Dayton! Katie Marks, best known for the The Wicked ‘Wich of Dayton, is debuting  a new food truck operation called Griller B’s, that will be located in the parking lot of The Barrel House.  The name is  a small nod to the hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan,  which is a favorite of The Barrel House owners, Gus & Sara Stathes.

Starting out, Griller B’s will be open Thursday from 5pm-9pm, then Friday and Saturday 5pm-11pm. This way, during peak hours people can still experience great beer on draft without having to leave the premises for food, and also enjoy a great food truck menu without waiting in the cold. The menu will consist of burgers, quesadillas, nachos, different mac and cheeses etc. along with vegan faire. Every fourth Thursday of the month there will also be a gourmet grilled cheese menu to pair with The Barrel House’s wine tasting.  They expect to  begin service on December 7th. Stay tuned to their Facebook Page for more info!

Luminaries of Dayton: Jacob Stickle

By Leave a Comment

Jacob Stickle was born in Neckar-Thailfingen, Wurettemberg, Germany on February 26, 1825, son of John Jacob and Katerina Stickle.

Jacob helped his father on the family farm until he was old enough to be apprenticed to a butcher. He learned the trade of butchering and stayed in the business until he immigrated to the United States, landing in New Orleans on May 1, 1849. He arrived in Dayton on the first of June.

On his arrival Jacob started working for Adam Happle, a meat packer whose business was located on Valley Pike in Mad River Township. He worked for $7 a week and board. After two years Jacob had saved enough money to rent a butcher’s stand and later opened a stall in Harshmanville, on Yellow Springs Pike, which he attended for seventeen years.

In 1868, Jacob purchased the brewery of Sander and Stoppelman on Warren Street. When he started the business he decided to use only the best quality products, and to make his beer out of only barley, malt and hops.

In 1881, the City Brewery building burnt down. Jacob Stickle rebuilt and enlarged it at an expense of eight thousand dollars, building a three and a half story brick factory. The ice houses had a storage capacity of 2,000 tons and the beer cellars of 3,000 barrels. The first year the business made 4,000 barrels of beer and by 1882 the brewery was producing 7,000 barrels annually. The business required ten men and several teams for delivering the beer to local businesses.

Jacob married Barbara Drechsel on August 31, 1851 and they had two children. Jacob’s son, William, later helped his father run the brewery. In 1890, the business moved to 653 and 655 Warren Street. Jacob Stickle merged his brewery with The Dayton Breweries Company in 1904 and then sold out his part.

Jacob died on November 20, 1908 and is buried in Section 63 Lot 1126.

Luminaries of Dayton: Frederick and Otto Euchenhofer

By 1 Comment

Frederick H. Euchenhofer was born in Switzerland about 1812 and came to American when twenty years old. For a few years he lived in one of the eastern states and then moved to Miamisburg in 1836. Frederick opened a bakery and confectionery store there, running a successful business until 1848, when he came to Dayton. He purchased the old Columbus House and ran it as a hotel until 1863.

In 1861, Frederick opened the Third Street Lager Beer Brewery on 1513 East Third Street. The brewery was made of brick, two stories high and had a cellar. In addition, there were three individual cellars, separate from the main building that were capable of storing 1,200 barrels. The brewery was bought by Miller and Ritzler in 1867, but Euchenhofer rebought the brewery five years later.

Frederick later changed the name of the brewery to Third Street Brewery about 1887. In 1888, over 3,500 barrels were being produced each year, most of them being consumed in the home. The annual trade for that year was in excess of $25,000.

Frederick was a charter member of, and a director in, the Teutonia Insurance Company of Dayton, which was one of the most successful financial institutions in the city. Fraternally, Frederick was an Odd Fellow and a member of the Harugari. The German Order of Harugari, sometimes called the Ancient Order of Harugari or by its German name, Der Deutsche Orden der Harugari, was a mutual benefit and cultural association of German Americans founded in New York City in 1847 that was at one time the largest German secret society in the United States. The objectives were mutual protection in a time of high German immigration and anti-German sentiment in the U.S., and preservation of German language and culture. The order forbade discussion of religion, politics, or social issues. The name Harugari comes from the old German word Haruc. It may be roughly translated as “The Teutonic spirit (or priest) of the oak tree.”

Frederick was a Lutheran and in politics a Republican. He was married twice. His only child from the first marriage, Albert, died in February, 1892. His second marriage was to Caroline Disher. They were married in Dayton and had ten children.

Frederick H. Euchenhofer died on February 3, 1891. Caroline died on November 22, 1938. They are located in Section 103 Lot 1619.

Otto Frederick Euchenhofer was born about 1857 in Dayton, Ohio. He belonged to the St. Luke’s German Lutheran Church. He was the father of four children.

Otto Euchenhofer took over the Third Street Brewery on 1513 East Third Street in 1892 and changed the name to Third Street Ale Brewery. Unfortunately, records show that the brewery slipped in business under Otto’s management. By 1895, the brewery’s yield was only 1,000 barrels, down from 4,000 in 1890. He sold the business to Henry B. Pruden and Peter J. Altherr in 1896.

Otto Frederick Euchenhofer died on May 20, 1912. He is located in Section 103 Lot 1619.

Brewery Planned for Downtown Troy

By

Moeller Brew Barn in Maria Stein, just celebrated their 3rd anniversary at their original location in May, and now they’ve announced they’ll be opening a second location in downtown Troy. In the Spring of 2019, Moeller Brew Barn will open a location at 214 West Main Street. The approximately 8,000 square feet building will offer on-site handcrafted beer and locally sourced food menu.

The conversion of the building, built in 1919, will provide seating for up to 170 people and space for 1,800 barrels of craft beer annually. This establishment is expected to create 25 jobs.

“We’re excited to expand the Moeller Brew Barn brand with another brewing location in Troy. We’ll get to build our brewing expertise, continue to foster creativity for new products, and offer even more fresh local craft beer!” -Nick Moeller, Owner/Operator.

While you’re waiting for the Troy location to be built, take a road trip to the original location at 8016 Marion Dr. in Maria Stein, Ohio, it’s about an hour north of Dayton. With a dozen beers on tap, you’re sure to find some unusual brews, like their Wally Post Red, a malt-and-rye spice beer named in honor of local baseball legend Wally Post. “It was the most popular when it came out, and the popularity has stayed,” says Moeller.
