Created back in 2017, the Dayton Ale Trail passport is a collaboration between Miami Valley breweries that encourage the visitation and support of our local breweries. Each year Cerevisaphiles (aficionado of beers and ales) get a stamp upon visiting each local establishment and have until 12/31/2021 to collect 27 stamps and exchange their passport in for the annual prize at the Yellow Cab Tavern.
Past Ale Trail Prizes have included howlers and bar signs:
This year 15,000 passports have been printed (more will be printed if needed) and the following breweries are included:

It was over a year ago that Elsa’s co-owner Jason Hemmert signed a lease to take over the old Buffalo Wild Wings Space in the Springboro shopping and now it’s finally time to start pouring the Bad Juans. For those not familiar- Simple, pure and lethal. This is for the heavy hitters who like to get down to business and gulp ’em down.
