The Dayton Beer Company

I always explore local breweries, and I had an incredible experience at this one. If you're looking for exceptional craftsmanship, this is the place to visit. You'll feel right at home here, and it's a great choice for spending your time and money.

I went to this restaurant with two women who enjoy light beer. My wife had already chosen a beer that she didn't like, and since I prefer IPAs, I decided to try her beer instead and help her find something else. After her first selection, she wanted to sample another lager, but the woman behind the bar refused and insisted that we had to purchase a taster. I’ve never encountered such a ridiculous policy at a brewery before.

This restaurant is definitely not dog-friendly. I just left because they always told me that my dog could not come inside, but I was alone, and they don’t serve customers outside! I had no choice but to go inside. Additionally, their website says nothing about dogs being prohibited. As for the owner's response, I was only offered assistance 20 minutes after my initial inquiry with the staff. One of the employees simply informed me that dogs were not allowed and suggested I sit outside. I didn’t realize I would be waiting 20 minutes for someone to come and take my order. Furthermore, it seemed like the staff was more interested in chatting with each other than in providing service. I don’t think she was on a break, but perhaps it’s always a break whenever it’s convenient for her.

Love the atmosphere and that they offer local bands/entertainment! Food is really good. Not a fan if their beer. Like that they offer ciders and wine.

As a person who is from out of town and visits brewery across Ohio and the US frequently and would want to try a new beer before drinking it, not my favorite. Didn’t like my beer but would have cost me an extra 3.50 to taste 5 oz of it before I ordered it. Been a while since I’ve seen a brewery charge for tasting when your just trying to make sure you like the beer before you order it. 3 out of 4 of our group didn’t like their beer which being allowed to taste would have helped.. wanted to come for several beers and have now been turned off from this brewery.
