Little Fish Brewing: A Taste of Ohio's Heart and Soul

Tucked into the hills of Athens, Ohio, Little Fish Brewing Company is more than a brewery—it’s a place where good beer, fresh food, and local pride come together.
From the start, Little Fish has focused on brewing beer with care. They use ingredients grown close to home—most of their grains and hops come from Ohio farms. Their beer list has something for everyone, from smooth pale ales to bold, barrel-aged sours. And they don’t just care about what’s in the glass—they use solar panels and wind energy, making sure their process is as clean as their flavors.
But what really sets Little Fish apart is what’s on the plate.
Their kitchen serves up farm-fresh meals that match the quality of their beer. The menu changes with the seasons, using ingredients from local growers and producers. Whether it's house-made sourdough pizza, a hearty sandwich, fresh fish, or a vibrant veggie dish, the food is full of flavor and made with care. It’s the kind of meal that makes you slow down, share with friends, and enjoy every bite.
At both their Athens and Dayton locations, Little Fish offers a warm, welcoming vibe. Families, locals, and travelers all find their place—whether they’re here for dinner, live music, or just a sunny afternoon on the patio.
Little Fish Brewing isn’t just a spot to eat and drink. It’s a place to connect—with the land, the community, and the simple joys of real, honest food and beer.
