>> MORE: Dayton's craft beer walking trail is growing
Kyle Kastranec introduced the world to the dynamic duo in the post "Hunter/Gatherer #18 — Patti and Cindy at Jackie O's Brewery in Athens, OH."
Patti’s “vibrant pink cap with a large, bedazzled flamingo pinned to the front” caught Kastranec’s eye.
Her favorite color is pink (she told me it was), and she is known for her ball caps.
From the article:
When I finally sat down at the table with them, we were all a few beers deep and they were in the midst of trying to figure out what to order next. They were both wearing brewery work shirts: Patti, an oversized Warped Wing, black, open in the front; Cindy, a Fat Head's, blue with white pin stripes, buttoned as a brewer would.
What really struck me, though, is they were both wearing Jackie O's earrings. But before I could ask where they came from, each had plucked one from their ear and tossed it on the table.
"She made these," Patti exclaimed.
"I made these," Cindy agreed.
And sure enough, I looked closer and each earring turned out to be a flattened Jackie O's bottle cap, adorned with tiny rhinestones and backed with a brightly colored polymer. I looked at both women—a bit slack-jawed, if I'm being honest—and they just laughed.

Patti might be the Fairy Godmother of Beer, but she knows a good deal about bourbon as well.
The Dayton fixture went along for the adventure when we joined the crew from downtown's Century Bar.
