Little Fish Beer Archive: Every beer we have ever brewed

Imperial milk stout with vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, star anise, and white pepper.

Our tart wheat ale with peaches, coriander, chamomile, and grains of paradise.

Our “Reinheitsgewhat!?” series of sour ales is our equivalent to the ubiquitous “kettle sour”. We don’t sour these beers in the kettle, rather, we use a type of wild-isolated yeast called Lachancea to quickly ferment and produce lactic acid in 2-3 weeks. Much quicker than mixed-fermentation souring, but definitely less complex. Still, it makes a great beer, especially as a ... Read More

Baltic Porter.

Kalsarikännit: “Untranslatable” Finnish word for “getting drunk at home in your underwear, with no intention of going out”. The perfect vibe for this Eastern European style that’s all about comfort. The smooth flavor belies its formidable strength. It’s a lager, not an ale, so the emphasis is much more on the malty richness than outright roast, like a stout.

Strong, dark, this is a handsome barrel aged sour ale with cacao, vanilla and tart cherry juice. Single keg made special for Valentines Day 2019!

A “Beau-hemian” pilsner, dedicated to our original taproom manager, Beau Nishimura. Brewed with only the finest German pilsner malt and Czech Saaz hops, and fermented to crispness with our preferred lager strain.

Flavor Profile: Crisp lager, with a touch of sweet grassy malt. Medium bitterness, spicy / herbal hop profile, very clean finish.

100% Ohio-grown, German-style hefeweizen with locally-grown pawpaw fruit!

The base of this beer is the same hefeweizen as “Vax Up, Yo!”. After primary fermentation, we add locally-picked and processed pawpaw puree from Integration Acres (Pawpaw is a native Ohio fruit that is very squishy when ripe, and has notes of banana, mango, and such).

Flavor Profile: Classic hefeweizen banana & ... Read More

Our first ever 100% Ohio-grown IPA with barley from Haus Malts, Chinook and cascade from Ohio Hops.

100% Ohio-grown saison in the “hoppy saison” archetype. We like to know our farmers personally. We are very partial to Auburn Acres hops, grown by Jeff & Shari Bailey. Coincidentally, we also work with Jeff & Sherri Gochnauer, who own and operate Sugar Creek Valley Farm, and grow 2-row Scala barley, which is then malted by our friends at Haus Malts. ... Read More

Ohio grown wheat, barley and oats with Simcoe, Centennial, Falconers Flight and Citra hops. Spiced with ginger, orange, and lemon peel.

Our own take on a Brut IPA, brewed with a tropical ale yeast and hopped with Michigan Cashmere, Crystal and Mosaic hops.

English barleywine, recipe by homebrewer Bob Moore, winner of our 2018 Ohio Brew Week Homebrew Competition’s Brewer’s Choice Award.

What Ho! Up Periscope was concocted by two rakish young seamen and longtime bosom friends: Sean White (of Little Fish) and Ray Girard (of Yonkers Brewing Company). Up Periscope is an oak barrel fermented sour saison, dry hopped with whole cone Crystal hops.

Lay & Love is a blend of foeder & wine barrel-aged sour red & blonde ales, with an average age of 2.5 years. The most recent batch (Batch B105) was refermented on whole blackberries at a rate of 3 pounds per gallon, and bottle conditioned. The blackberries came from “The Berry Farm” in Richwood, Ohio. A lot of hard work, ... Read More

Blend of sour stouts, aged in bourbon and wine barrels with cinnamon, vanilla, and cacao nibs.

Kvass-inspired ale, brewed with local Village Bakery bread loaves, our own house smoked malt, foraged juniper, and fermented with a house sourdough culture.

Quick-sour wheat ale with apricot & spices.

Our “Reinheitsgewhat!?” series of sour ales is our equivalent to the ubiquitous “kettle sour”. We don’t sour these beers in the kettle, rather, we use a type of wild-isolated yeast called Lachancea to quickly ferment and produce lactic acid in 2-3 weeks.

Wet-hopped funky farmhouse ale made entirely with hops from Morning Dew Hop Farm and our own hop yard.

Dry-hopped E.S.B., our beer for the ACLU People Power Beer Project. $1 per pint goes to the ACLU to help protect your voting rights!

We brewed this farmhouse ale with our friends at Yellow Springs Brewery. Ohio malts from Haus Malts, Comet hops, and a huge amount of locally grown cucumbers from Cowdery farms went into this unique brew.
