10 Best Craft Breweries in Dayton

“My favorite family friendly place. Bock excels at creating a space where we gather as family, friends, soccer teams, etc with their large open room, but also there's a game room my kids love, foosball, and shuffle board. And that's not even getting to the food and drinks. My favorite snacks include the German nachos, reuben dip, and pretzels. The drinks are always on point- fresh and delicious. we always love the lemon blueberry with with a slice of lemon and the Negligent IPA. They are staffed by some of the greatest people. A family favorite for sure.“

“Branch & Bone Brewery absolutely delivers on the experience. From the moment you walk in, the service stands out—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being over the top.
The atmosphere hits that perfect balance between relaxed and lively, and the music is a huge win. If you grew up in the 90’s, you’ll feel right at home. The playlist alone makes you want to stay longer.
The beer is just as good as the vibe. Clean, refreshing, and clearly well-crafted—exactly what you want when you sit down to unwind.
This is the kind of place you come to not just for a drink, but to actually enjoy the whole experience. I’ll definitely be back.“

“This is a fun and sociable place. The beer is outstanding and the people are even better.“

“Stopped by Heavier Than Air Brewing Co and it absolutely delivered. The service was on point—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being over the top. You can tell the staff actually enjoy being there.
The beer lineup is solid. Everything I tried was well-balanced and drinkable, not just “craft for the sake of craft.” Whether you’re into something lighter and crisp or a little more flavorful, they’ve got options that hit.
The vibe is what really pulls it all together. Good music, relaxed atmosphere, and just a great place to sit back and enjoy a pint. It’s the kind of spot you plan to stay for one and end up hanging out longer.
Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.“
