Warped Wing is dropping the 2025 Whiskey Rebellion this Saturday (Dec 6) at the Dayton taproom, and it’s stupidly good.
We’re talking the classic barrel-aged imperial stout that everyone loses their mind over, plus a fresh lineup of flavored variants that are straight-up dessert in a bottle:
- German Chocolate Cake
- Iced Gingerbread Cookie
- and a couple more surprise bangers
Bottle Release Party Details – Saturday, Dec 6 @ Dayton Taproom
- First crack at every single variant in bottles
- Draft pours of all the new 2025 Whiskey Rebellion beers flowing all day
- If you want the flavored ones, you basically have to show up Saturday in Dayton; these things disappear faster than free beer
Nick Bowman (the guy who runs sales & marketing and basically lives at the brewery) said it best: “This is the most ridiculous Whiskey Rebellion lineup we’ve ever done. Dayton gets it first because that’s where Warped Wing started; come through and grab yours before they’re gone.”
The leftovers (if any) will hit Springboro, Mason, and Huber Heights the following weekend.

More Info on Warped Wing Brewing
Warped Wing Brewing Company was founded in 2013 by a tight-knit crew of Dayton lifers who were tired of drinking the same old macro lagers and wanted to bring legit craft beer back to the city that basically invented aviation. Nick Bowman, Joe Waizmann, John Haggerty, and Mike Sto Beyer pooled their money, their stubbornness, and a whole lot of homebrewing experience to open the doors at 26 Wyandot Street in downtown Dayton. What started as a 10-barrel brewhouse inside a 100-year-old former trucking depot has grown into one of Ohio’s most awarded independent breweries, with four taprooms (Dayton, Springboro, Mason, and Huber Heights) and distribution across Ohio and Kentucky—all while staying 100% locally owned and fiercely committed to never selling out.
At the heart of it all is Head Brewmaster and co-founder John Haggerty, a Dayton guy through and through who cut his teeth brewing in Colorado before coming home to build Warped Wing’s barrel-aging program into one of the most respected in the Midwest. Haggerty’s obsession with big stouts, wild ales, and pushing the limits of what beer can be has earned Warped Wing over 60 medals at U.S. Open, GABF, World Beer World Cup, and Festival of Wood & Barrel-Aged Beer—including multiple golds for the Whiskey Rebellion series. Twelve years in, the same owners are still in the brew house, still arguing over recipes, and still showing up to pour the first pints at every bottle release—because to them, Warped Wing isn’t just a business, it’s Dayton’s brewery.
