• Warped Wing to release new core beer ‘Hydro Haze’

    THE IMPORTANT STUFF FIRST 👉 Warped Wing Brewing Co. will host a launch party for its newest core beer from 3-10 p.m. at its main taproom located at 26 Wyandot St. in Dayton, Ohio.

    Warp Wing will begin selling Hydro Haze Pale Ale on draft and by six-packs in its taproom during the launch party.

    The beer then will be available for purchase through Warped Wing retail partners starting Tuesday, March 10.

    Warped Wing’s release describe’s Hydro Haze as a a pale ale that “carries delicious, juicy, and tropical citrus/pineapple notes.”

    NOW ONTO THE REST OF THE RELEASE BELOW. 👇

    “We have been working on this formula for some time,” said Nick Bowman, VP/Sales & Marketing and Managing Partner at Warped Wing. “This has been a missing puzzle piece within our portfolio of core beers. It’s something we did not want to rush out to market until we knew it would be special. Last summer we launched a ‘Test Flight’ program reaching out to our customers, urging them to taste test several Pale Ales and IPA’s.
    Having our customers as part of the final result of the product was very rewarding for us. We used that feedback to create and perfect this beer. John Haggerty and his brew team delivered and we are extremely proud to share Hydro Haze with our Ohio friends.” said Bowman.

    “There’s a much deeper historic piece to the brand”, said Tara Michel, Marketing Manager at Warped Wing. “I started digging into some Ohio history around flood management and found out that a major water/dam control system was developed right here back in 1913. The design was based on controlling flooding in our river systems. It’s a technology that is still used today around the world. The name for the beer seemed like
    a natural. Especially given the fact that water is the most important natural resource in our brewing operation. And Dayton presides upon one of the finest water aquifer systems in the world.”

    Copy on the can reads, “The water came crashing over the banks as the smoke rose from the valley below. Hydro Haze. A tsunami of juicy tropical citrus and pineapple, balanced with a whirlpool of creamy hop goodness. Pop a top and break the dam. The haze awaits.”

    Please join us on Thursday, March 5th for the Hydro Haze Pale Ale launch party at the brewery. Festivities run from 3-10 p.m.

    Warped Wing Brewing Co. is a Dayton craft brewery inspired by Ohio’s rich history of innovation and invention. We are committed to carrying that spirit forward by brewing new proprietary beer styles along with original interpretations.

  • June 10, 2019: Return of the Grat(itude)
    1. To not only run my fiancée across the finish line of her first ultra marathon, but also cheer as she claimed second place female finisher for the 50K distance – all as she pumped her right fist clinching a dill pickle wrapped in a slice of deli turkey victoriously into the air.
    2. A friend and former co-worker thoughtful enough to give me a boatload of Legos for my nephew and I to play right before my friend moves far away for a job in a new city. (James, you’re the best!)
    3. That three-and-a-half-hour car ride filled with deep conversations on topics ranging from online gaming to politics and religion without any animosity.
    4. For checking out two new craft brewery locations during the same trip (The Fathead’s Brewery brewpub in Canton, Ohio and The Thirsty Dog Brewing Co. TapHouse in nearby Akron).
    5. For finding Chasing Sunsets, my official local craft beer for the summer of 2019 before summer has even officially begun.
    6. Having an incredible run of listening to and sharing the stories of some pretty amazing people at work. The latest was a much-beloved master chef in Cincinnati reflecting on life a year after his sarcoma diagnosis and treatment.
    7. For another moment while working: Within two minutes of getting out of a work van, a woman from a church destroyed by a tornado in Dayton, Ohio offering me a bottle of water followed by another woman making the same offer seconds later. Humbled. People can be truly inspiring and kind. 
    8. To celebrate my niece turning three!
    9. For finding some great new music to listen to this summer.
    10. I’ve stated it before and will do so again and again and again – remembering most things in life are more about process, progression and effort than “end results.” Glad I’m once again attempting to write daily gratitude lists after a significant gap between this one and the last.
