Dayton Beer Company, at 41 Madison St. in downtown Dayton, is hosting its fourth annual GoatFest on Saturday, Feb. 15, a festival dedicated to premiering the very best barrel-aged beers in the state of Ohio.
And, new this year, there will be actual goats (yes — like the animal, this time) that attendees can visit in the beer garden. The times designated to visit with the goats will be announced a few days before the event.
With that in mind, it’s safe to say that this is a beer and barrel-lover’s (and perhaps goat-lover’s?) dream. There will be more than 30 barrel-aged beers on tap.
