Little Fish Beer Archive: Every beer we have ever brewed

Maraca Frog is our collaboration brew with Market Garden Brewery. Brewmaster Andy Tveekram has been a longtime hero of ours since the homebrew days, and it was an honor to have him down at Little Fish for the brew.

This adjective-laden Hazy-Imperial-Wheat-Kviek I.P.A. was brewed with a base of Ohio-grown barley and wheat from our buddies at Haus Malts. It ... Read More

An “International” I.P.A., Bike Kviek is brewed with barley and oats grown & malted by Haus Malts, in Ohio. New Zealand Rakau hops, Australian Galaxy hops, Czech Saaz hops, and German Hallertauer Mittelfruh hops and fermented with a Norwegian farmhouse ale yeast. Made to celebrate the devoted bike racers in the 2019 Athens Brick Criterium Bike Race.

Hazy IPA brewed with Ohio barley, spent, rye, emmer and hopped with pacific north west Azacca, Crystal, Centennial, and Chinook.

Passionista is a vibrantly fruity, barrel-aged sour, which starts with a blend of our best barrels of sour blonde ales. The current batch (2021 packaging) averages 24 months in oak, and is refermented on 1.5 pounds per gallon of passionfruit puree. The base malts are mostly from Ohio. The hops are mostly aged, as they are in traditional lambic ... Read More

Barrel soured Saison with concord grapes that were handpicked by head brewer Sean White alongside his wife Clarissa and son Harvey in 2016. Aged in oak barrels for over a year and then bottle conditioned. Only 250 bottles, hand numbered and limited to 3 per customer.

Dirt Cred is not your convenience store malt liquor, but it’s inspired by the “40’s” we drank before (thankfully) being introduced to better beer. Made from Ohio barley, corn, and rye, hopped with German Hallertauer and and finished with our own blend of house funky cultures. Bottles are conditioned in 1.5 liter green glass for a pleasant light-struck character.

Barrel aged sour blonde ale with foraged persimmons.

Brakeman’s Cuvee is inspired by the Moonville train tunnel in the Zaleski State Forest, which according to some accounts, is haunted by a brakeman named McDevitt, who drunkenly fell to his death under a train in 1873. (Please, do not operate heavy machinery after drinking this beer!)

The exact blend of Brakeman’s Cuvee will vary from year to year, but ... Read More

Session IPA, brewed with oats and all Falconers Flight hops.

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

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 ... 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 ... Read More

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 “Ohio Weizen”, a 100% Ohio-grown hefeweizen. 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).

Tasting Notes: Classic hefeweizen banana & clove aromas, ... 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 ... 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.
