Little Fish Beer Archive: Every beer we have ever brewed

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.

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 ... Read More

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”.

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

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.

Beechwood-smoked light lager.

Smoked Helles is a crisp, light lager with a moderate to intense (depending on your tolerance level) beechwood smoke character. The smoke comes from Weyermann beechwood-smoked malt, which makes up 40% of the grist (the rest is standard pilsner malt). It’s hopped with a light dose of noble hops, and fermented to dryness with our preferred house ... Read More
