If there is at least one thing that an outsider should know about Dayton, it’s that this city loves its craft beer. Just within the past decade, more than a dozen breweries have opened up in Dayton and its surrounding suburbs, each producing flavorful and distinctive brews.

To celebrate this emergence of craft beer in the Dayton area, we asked you, our readers, to tell us which breweries you believe are the crème de la crème.

Last year, our readers declared Warped Wing Brewing Company to be the best brewery in Dayton. The brewery’s taproom, open since 2014, is a popular destination for local beer geeks, and Warped Wing beers are available in cans and bottles at retail outlets throughout the region.
