Explore Dayton’s Toxic Brew: Local Beer, Community Vibes, and Unique Brews

DAYTON, Ohio — If you’re a fan of local beer and a cozy atmosphere, Toxic Brew Company in the Oregon District should be your next stop. This local favorite is serving up incredible craft brews, rich community vibes, and a passion for collaboration that makes it stand out in Dayton’s thriving brewery scene.

During a recent visit, I had the chance to chat with Tyler Gilcher, one of the legends behind the bar at Toxic Brew, as I sampled their 2021 Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrel-Aged Abbey Belgian Quad. Gilcher explained that this is just one of the cellar treasures they’re offering as part of a special winter lineup. Featuring selections aged in barrels from New Riff Whiskey, Heaven Hill, and even Buffalo Trace, these potent, smooth beers are a treat for connoisseurs.

“Be careful,” Gilcher joked. “They’re potent but smooth.”

The Heart of Dayton’s Craft Beer Scene

The craft beer industry has exploded in recent years, and Toxic Brew keeps up with trends by experimenting with unique brews. But it’s not just the innovative beers that bring people to Toxic Brew. Gilcher credits Dayton’s collaborative community for creating an unparalleled atmosphere.

“Being from a town of 1,200 people, I feel that small-town sense of camaraderie here in Dayton, especially on this street,”Gilcher shared. “Everyone takes care of each other. It’s not about competition; it’s about lifting each other up.”

This ethos is evident in the partnerships Toxic Brew has formed with other local breweries, carrying selections from Warped Wing and Branch & Bone on tap.
