The second annual Wapakoneta Craft Beer Festival kept brewers busy as they poured samples and talked to beer enthusiasts Saturday night.
One of those brewers, Lima-based Outskirts Brew Company, rebranded from Vino Bellisimo in June though they have been around since 2009.
“I am very much an Eastern European trained as far as his brewing styles where all the malt and hops need to be forward in the beer,” said Joey Rezabek.
They offer a broad spectrum of staple beers including an imperial IPA named Joey, a hazy IPA named Sierra.
“We have seven that are constantly on tap that pretty much cover all of our bases, light and dark,” Rezabek said.
He noted that craft beer brings people together from all walks of life.
James Gilbert, owner of Gongoozlers in New Bremen, also specializes European beer, especially German beer. He had an Oktoberfest Marzen-style beer and an “NBFD Festbier” wheat ale on tap.
Dalton Union Winery and Brewery, of Marysville, brought their Juan Moore, a 3.5 percent table beer. One of their other offerings, Lupy Hazy beer, took the bronze in a beer championship among 8,000 beers.
“We have a huge, huge focus on quality, that’s right behind safety,” owner Dale Mary said, noting they are deliberate in the process at every step of the way.
“We have a water profile for every beer we make. We have a water treatment plant in house.”
Sarah Doenges with Tail Spin Brewing said that from light beers to dark beers everyone has been able to find something they like at the Coldwater-based brewery.
Brian Dwenger with Moeller Brew Barn said their orange peel Krush beer makes for a nice end-of-summer beer and was strong with fruity flavor on the pallet. Dwenger said some people have also said their pumpkin pie beer tastes exactly like the real thing as well.
According to Dwenger, “In the craft beer business you have to be innovative, always trying new beers.”
