It all started ten years ago. Andy was interested in rare craft beers and became part of various collection groups and communities across the country. As his interest grew, he began to wonder what else was really out there that helped bring together people around these rare finds?

​

Andy’s first idea was to start a retail growler concept, where individuals could come in and build their own custom growlers based off of these rare find recipes. At the time, he was working as a national account manager at a large company alongside Christian, who at the time was an R & D chef helping create custom food programs for national convenience stores. They connected over their appreciation for unique drink and meal experiences. It was Christian who suggested adding a food experience component to Andy’s business idea, and specially charcuterie boards. They decided to move forward and eventually found an old world style building in downtown Dayton that inspired them. The rest is history. 

​

Their vision evolved to build a unique elegant space where people can come try beverages and bites that they could not find anywhere else.
