While visiting family in Athens, one of my favorite breweries to visit is Little Fish Brewing Co. Opening the summer of 2015, the owners Jimmy Stockwell and Sean White focused on their mission to create beers from Ohio-grown ingredients. The following year, their “Barrel-Aged Woodthrush” won the 2016 World Beer Cup Gold Medal in the Belgian- and French-style Ale category.
In addition to their craft beers, I love the atmosphere of Little Fish as soon as I walk through the door. The wrap-around bar is large enough to seat about twenty-five with a gigantic chalkboard that lists all of their available beers.
Inside, there are board games for families and friends to play as well as decks of cards for Euchre tournaments or a friendly game of Rummy.
Outside are several picnic tables a large outdoor space for cornhole tournaments or a children’s game of tag.
My favorite craft brews are the Woodthrush and Our Lightest Beer, but there may be a new selection each time I visit. I’m always happy to try the new brews to add to my list of favorites.
When Little Fish first opened, they brought in food trucks so their customers could order food. Today, the breweries in Dayton and Athens have kitchens, run by Becky Clark. In addition to the brewery’s awards over the years, Clark was nominated as a James Beard Award Winning Chef (Best Chef) in the Great Lakes Region for her work with Little Fish. Just another reason why this brewery is so amazing.
