“We encourage everyone to grab a passport and start early,” Moore said. “December 31st (2024) will be here in no time at all.”
His favorite part of having the Dayton Ale Trail is hearing stories and seeing posts/pictures from people venturing out of their normal watering hole to see what all breweries across the region have to offer.
More than 1,300 people completed the 2023 Dayton Ale Trail, Moore said.
Something new that people can look forward to is a Dayton Ale Trail online swag store. It is currently under development, but Moore said anyone will be able to order Dayton Ale Trail merch and other branded items to be shipped right to their doors.
Mike Muncy, head brewer at Hairless Hare Brewery, and Jesse Gaither of Minuteman in Centerville has helped Moore organize this year’s trail. For more information about the Dayton Ale Trail, visit its Facebook page (@daytonaletrail).
