DAYTON BEER

The story of beer in Dayton and the Miami Valley is as old as the region's first settlers, who brought their brewing methods with them from Europe. From humble origins, the Schwind brothers founded a Dayton brewing dynasty.


Adam Schantz arrived penniless and amassed a fortune as one of the city's early brewers. Martha Vorce, one of the region's several unheralded woman brewers, was running the Springfield Brewery a decade before Eliza "Mother" Stewart gained fame there as a temperance leader. Although Prohibition swiftly destroyed this flourishing industry, today's local craft brewers promise to keep good beer and good times flowing for many years to come.

Povestea berii in Dayton si in Valea Miami este la fel de veche ca primii colonisti din regiune, care si-au adus metodele de fabricare a berii cu ei din Europa. Din origini umile, fratii Schwind au fondat o dinastie a fabricarii berii Dayton. Adam Schantz a ajuns fara bani si a adunat o avere ca unul dintre primii fabrici de bere ai orasului.
