Lock 27 is brand new on the Dayton Ohio scene. As of this post it will have been open only a matter of months.
As such, this microbrewery has a lot of growing ahead of it. I will say this for the place. The owner was out tending bar and chatting up the customers and he is a man who truly loves beer in only the way only a long-time home brewer can.
It will be interesting to see how this joint evolves in the coming years. It is a place that celebrates both good food and good beer. That seems like a good start to me.
On my visit they only had one origional beer on tap. They had a decent selection of good beers from out and around, but only one of their own at the moment. So this is going to be a little different post as I will include a couple random beers they happened to have on tap... just to round things out a bit.
Kay?

Beer?
Lock 27, Winston ESB: No aroma to speak of. Nice, creamy mouthfeel. A good deal of caramel malt sweetness balance a load of lemony, grassy hops. Very nice, drinkable beer.
Southern Tier, Pumpking: Tis the season for those wonderful, spicy pumpkin ales. This beer from upstate New York, was quite nice, with a sweet creamy quality to the normal bill of pumpkin spice.
Great Divide, Hoss: Rye lager from Denver Colorado. This beer had a very light fruity aroma. There was a sweeter, light berry flavor with a hint of pepper from the rye that gentelly turned to a floral hop back.
One last thing about Lock 27. The curry is awesome. That is all for this week.
