How to score a can (or two) of Warped Wing Brewing Company’s new ‘Esther’s Li’l Secret’ brew

The secret is out! Warped Wing Brewing Company hosted their 7th annual Esther's Li'l Secret Launch Party & Reveal at the brewery's downtown Dayton taproom on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2020. Esther's Li'l Secret is the annual holiday collaboration between Warped Wing and Esther Price Fine Chocolates. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the event was ticketed with six 90 minute time slots and limited seating capacity. The brewery's back entrance offered retail carryout sales of the 2020 Esther's Li'l Secret four-packs and bottles. Did we spot you there? TOM GILLIAM/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER

This past weekend, Warped Wing Brewing Company debuted the latest version of its annual collaboration with Esther Price Fine Chocolates, “Esther’s Li’l Secret." This year, the collaboration between the two Dayton institutions has resulted in the creation of Esther’s Li’l Secret Double Fudge Cream Stout.

Since 2014, Warped Wing has created Esther Price-inspired beers like the Chocolate Peanut Brittle Porter, Chocolate Covered Cherry Stout and Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Scotch Ale.

For those who missed the release party (or for those who simply want to indulge in a can or two), Warped Wing will be releasing one run of its “Esther’s Li’l Secret" beer. The brewery will be releasing “Esther’s Li’l Secret” on tap and in four-pack cans and single format 374-milliliter bourbon barrel-aged bottles at the downtown Dayton location and Warped Wing Barrel Room & Smokery on Wednesday, Nov. 11. And, since they will only be releasing one run of their brand new brew, customers should pick up a pack or two as soon as they can.

Several retailers in the Dayton area will be carrying Esther’s Li’l Secret, starting on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
