Newsletter: Brewery adds new beer to lineup, new fine dining restaurant coming soon & more food news 🍺🍴

Hello, local food fans!

As Yellow Springs Brewery is focusing on creating approachable beers, it’s adding a new brew to its year-round lineup.

β€œWe’ve been working toward and hinting at a beer like this for a very long time and think it will really serve to highlight the approachability of our products and who we are as a brewery... a place with something for everyone,” said Head Brewer Natalie Iseli-Smith.

The brewery will celebrate with a launch party from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 21 at its Barrel Room, located at 1475 Xenia Ave. in Yellow Springs.

In addition to the new beer, the brewery will have special edition kegs of their core brands:

  • Boat Show (India Pale Ale)
  • Zoetic (American Pale Ale)
  • Captain Stardust (Saison)
  • Creative Space (Hazy IPA)
  • Raspberry Springer (Fruited Golden Ale)

These kegs will be very limited β€” pouring about 50 beers each β€” and feature infusions such as fruit, herbs, vanilla or chocolate.

To help kick off St. Patrick’s Day festivities at the Dublin Pub, DEXA, formerly known as Drone Express, delivered a lunch of fish and chips via drone to Dayton Mayor Jeffrey J. Mims Jr.

This event marked the first-ever restaurant drone delivery in Dayton.

DEXA’s latest partnership with the Dublin Pub shows how restaurant and convenience items can be delivered to homes within a one-mile radius in just 15 minutes.

The company has built an online marketplace similar to DoorDash or Instacart where retailers can put their goods on its site. For $5.99 a month, customers can get unlimited deliveries with no minimum order or tipping.

I have become a regular at Cherry House Cafe in Beavercreek over the last couple of Fridays ordering the same thing β€” a chef salad with ranch and a side of fries with honey mustard.

The salad is big enough to split with another person or you can save the other half for leftovers. The fries are a must try because they’re super crispy and don’t knock the honey mustard until you try it.

Other favorites my husband and I have from Cherry House include the chicken salad sandwich and the meatloaf sandwich.
