Huge, huge congratulations have to go out this week to Dayton’s Branch & Bone Artisan Ales as they nab a big award, Ohio’s Best New Brewer from this year’s RateBeer Best awards.

The brewery is one of those places that I wish was just a little bit closer, so I could spend more time writing about them (who knows… maybe one day I’ll throw Dayton into the mix of what I write about, hmmm?) and the few times that I have had the chance to stop into their taproom I’ve been blown away by what they’re doing.

Do yourself a favor, and make a little day trip up North to see what they’re up to – grab a beer, and tell them congrats!
