Co-owners Jimmy Stockwell and Sean Whiteopened Little Fish Brewing Company in the summer of 2015 in Athens, Ohio. Their mission was to brew world class beer while sustainably supporting local economies. They designed several of the original core beer recipes utilizing the Ohio-grown ingredients available at the time. These included organic raw spelt and corn grits in the flagship Saison du Poisson and Shagbark Pilsner brews, as well as many specialty ingredients like locally grown fruits and herbs.

When looking to grow their operations, Dayton had always been receptive to their beers so it seemed like a natural. They look to bring the same philosophy to their downtown Dayton location. Executive Chef Becky Clark says, “that they aim to make their food as good as their beer and their beer is amazing.”She also shares that we can expect lots of beer dinners in the future.

You’ll have the chance to check out Dayton’s newest brewery this Friday & Saturday. They are still running a limited menu and shorter shifts while they get everyone trained and work out the kinks.

Here are the hours for this weekend:

Friday 9/2 – 11a-11p (kitchen closes at 10)

Saturday 9/3 – 11a-11p (kitchen closes at 10)

Then come next Wednesday through Friday they’ll be open 11am – 11pm with the kitchen closing at 10pm. The Grand Opening is scheduled for September 17 and that’s when they’ll start staying open until 1am (kitchen until midnight).
