Reviews Hairless Hare

Passing through Dayton, looking for a place to eat for the night and have a decent beer. Two words: utterly amazing. The smoked wings were out of this world! I've had smoked wings, sometimes I was impressed, sometimes I wasn't. The Hairless Hare's smoked wings talked solidly in the "impressed" category. Heck, they may have bumped past "impressed" toa category all their own. Call it... "astonished". Done to perfection with the meat just falling off the bone when it's supposed to, but not before. Sauces are very good, but they don't overpower the taste of the wings. On top of that, the smoked Gouda appetizer was also to die for. And the hummus easily held its own. I realize it's a brewery and I'm only talking about the food, so if you're wondering, yes, the beer is great, too. Had a porter that started out with a strong raspberry up front but finished where it should. And an American pale that was quite unique in a good way. Highly recommended, especially since it's not far off I-70 if you're passing through, and the clump of hotels is only five minutes away.

The Hairless Hare Brewery was a welcome stop, as I had been driving from St.Louis and needed a break. I arrived shortly after lunch and found a pretty good lunch crowd, but was still able to grab a seat at the bar. One of the first things you will notice is the unique mugs that line the wall, all of which belong to their Mug Club. These were some seriously unique looking mugs; later, I learned they were all created by a local artist. Since this was my first (and likely my only time visiting), I figured I would order a flight to sample several of their beers, and to be honest; it would have been hard to decide on just one. My favorite beer had to be the Kickback Kolsch Black Raspberry, with the Dry Friday New England IPA coming in at a close second. The Kickback Kolsch Black Raspberry was perfectly balanced, with a not too overpowering on the raspberry but enough to give the Kolsch a little tart sweetness. The Dry Friday NEIPA had a bright citrus nose on the start, with a more yeasty finish that was quite refreshing.

WHOAH! FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE. My husband, one year old and I entered and pretty quickly was able to figure out how it works. We saw the line in the clear sign that said order here. Once it was our turn the female (with purple hair) was super helpful. We told her it was our first time and she took her time explaining the difference between Mead and the beers. She is a gem! She also told us how the chef looks at a Pizza pie as a plate and talked up the pizza of the week. This was hands down the best pizza we have had! But she told us they were known for their wings, so we ordered those as well. Let me tell you those were phenomenal. Sauces come on the side and we didn't even need them, just as she had told us. Everything has a very unique flavor. BEER was also very tasteful. It is so important to support local craft beer and I can't believe we have not come here sooner. There are plenty of options and definitely something for everyone. My husband did a flight and I chose the IPA. I looked online prior to us going and didn't see anything saying if it was family friendly. There were other children here however they do not have high chairs so if you have a little one just be prepared with a on the go high chair or have them sit in your lap. We cannot wait to go back!

Every time we come here it is absolutely delicious! They offer different speciality Pizzas every week that can surpass your wildest expectations! Love the smoked gouda dip and obsessed with the mead! We love to get a flight and enjoy all the cool flavors! Gluten free pizza is FABULOUS! LOVE THIS PLACE!
