About The Dayton Beer Company

The Dayton Beer Company is a European style beer hall and production brewery in downtown Dayton. Its website says it sits just steps from Day Air Ballpark. The main bar pours 36 Ohio craft taps.

The website says owner and brew master Peter Hilgeman founded the company. Its Kettering Tap Room opened in 2012 as the first locally owned brewery in Dayton in 50 years. The site says the company has won numerous awards.

The seating and the long bar are built from locally sourced reclaimed cedar over 100 years old. Polished concrete floors, stainless tanks and glass garage doors finish the room. When the weather warms, there is a 1,000 square foot patio, a Bier Garden and a Rooftop Bar.

Guest taps change constantly and lean toward Ohio breweries, from large names to small startups. Seltzer, wine and soda are on hand for anyone skipping beer.
