For the convenience of our customers, Fibonacci Brewing Company offers both on-site tastings as well as growlers to go. Our Foundational Series features our 4 year-round offerings. In addition, we have numerous seasonal brews on a rotating basis.
Origin: The Toll House Gang gathered around the old toll house to swap stories, share a cup of coffee, and keep Mt Healthy’s past alive. Frank Stout was a prominent figure of the Toll House Gang (hence the name of the beer) and has many relatives still in and around the Mt Healthy area.
Origin: Daisy Jones, Garden editor for the Cincinnati Post and Time-Star, wrote her popular column “Down to Earth” for 30 years. She had tie-ins with the Mt Healthy Garden Club. We wanted to use “Down to Earth” as the name of the Imperial IPA but it’s already used by 21st Amendment Brewery. Therefore, we combined her column and name to come up with “Earth Daisy”.
Origin: William Ellsworth “Dummy” Hoy played 14 seasons of professional baseball (some for the Reds). He once threw out 3 players at home in one game (hence the name of the beer … 3 ~ triple ~ tripel). Although since matched by others, it is still a record. Upon retirement from baseball, Dummy Hoy and his wife Anna Marie operated a dairy farm in Mt Healthy.
Origin: Between 1841 and 1847 twelve families moved from the Wuhl and Oberhausen areas of Germany to Mt Healthy. The origin was from Castle Oberhausen which also became a railway station.
Origin: Thai basil (or Horapha) is a type of basil widely used throughout Southeast Asia. Its flavor is licorice-like and slightly spicy.
Description: Orangish yellow color, low bitterness, creamy/juicy fruit flavor with big tropical fruit and citrus aromas.
Origin: Our first venture into the NE IPA category is an annual collaboration with our local Cincinnati Pink Boots chapter, a female organization in the beer industry. This beer utilizes a heavy dosage of YCH’s annual Pink Boots Hop Blend.
Description: Medium pink with a light pink head. The tart cherries and limes frolic in perfect harmony like a fairy in a meadow on a warm summer’s day.
Origin: Tilia is the genus to which limes belong. The fifth employee collaboration beer for 2018 from Chelle Magin features a classic summer radler with a splash of tart cherries from Eshleman Fruit Farm in Clyde, OH.
Description Dark pink with a hint of effervescent carbonation. The red raspberries linger on palate with the citrusy hops long after the base wheat beer dissipates.
Origin: Idaeus comes from Rubus Idaeus, the scientific species to which red raspberries belong. The fourth employee collaboration beer for 2018 from Kat Finn is an easy drinking springtime beer that will be sure to satisfy both craft beer connoisseurs and the casual beer drinker.
Description: Dark brown with a tan head. The oatmeal and lactose provide a smooth finish to balance the coffee aroma and flavors in this traditional American Brown Ale.
Origin: Bonk is the cycling term for “hitting the wall”. The third employee collaboration beer for 2018 from Riley Krutza is a great beer to replenish your body after a long day of cycling. Sit back, relax, and let Bonk take away all your worries. This beer is also utilizes coffee from Deeper Roots formerly located just up the street from us in Mt Healthy, OH but now residing in the West End in Cincinnati.
Origin: Secale is the genus to which Rye belongs. The second employee collaboration beer for 2018 from Mark Williams is an homage to the often overlooked role that Rye beers play in the craft beer community.
Description: Dark reddish-brown. A long boil produces a caramelization of the wort that results in an intensely roasted malty beer. Much sweeter and more full-bodied than a traditional Scottish Ale and higher in alcohol.
Origin: Nestled on the border of England and Scotland sits a town called Gretna Green known for hosting weddings. This beer is the first of our employee collaboration beers of 2018 designed and brewed by Sam Keller just in time for his own marriage. Gretna Green is situated at 55N 3W … both of which are Fibonacci numbers.
Description: Dark brown in color. Tart cherries subtly complement the roasty malts. Very easy drinking with a creamy finish from the lactose.
Origin: Prunus is the genus to which cherries belong.
Description: Pinkish red in color. Very earthy aroma and flavor from the beets. Touch of ginger adds some effervescence to the finish.
Origin: Beta derives its name from the scientific name for beets, Beta Vulgaris. For this Local Terra series, we sourced fresh local beets from our good friends at Running Creek Farm!
Description: Just like the Oberhausen but with a huge salsa verde addition!
Origin: Most of our beers take a lot of research and planning … however, sometimes it happens quickly over a good beer or two with a local farmer who noticed a patch of tomatillos growing in an area that he hadn’t planted in a few years. About ten minutes of chatting turned into the idea to infuse our signature kölsch style ale with a salsa verde! Thanks to the Herring family for providing the locally grown tomatillos and the inspiration for this beer!
Description: Wheat ale infused w/ pawpaws. Traditional wheat ale with a hint of banana and mango on the back end from the infusion of pawpaws.
Origin: Pride of the Valley is a reference to the flour produced by Jediah Hill near the covered bridge in Mt Healthy. A wheat ale was selected to honor the flour mill during the Mt Healthy’s bicentennial in 2017. Special thanks go out to the Hering family for providing the pawpaws from their woods which is only a couple hundred yards away from where the flour mill once stood! Also, special thanks to Marcha Hunley for bringing this idea to us and for organizing a Living History of Jediah Hill for the release of this beer!
Origin: Cata is derived from soursop which is the fruit of the broadleaf evergreen tree known as “Annona muricata”. The flavor of the fruit has been described as a combination of strawberry and pineapple, with sour citrus flavor notes contrasting with an underlying creamy texture reminiscent of coconut or banana.
Description: The same base recipe as The Tollhouse infused with curry powder (hot madras), cumin, cayenne, toasted coconut, and lime zest. This is like Indian cuisine in a glass!
Origin: Soma, in ancient India, an unidentified plant the juice of which was a fundamental offering of the Vedic sacrifices. The stalks of the plant were pressed between stones, and the juice was filtered through sheep’s wool and then mixed with water and milk. After it was offered as a libation to the gods, the remainder of the soma was consumed by the priests and the sacrificer. It was highly valued for its exhilarating, probably hallucinogenic, effect. The personified deity Soma was the “master of plants,” the healer of disease, and the bestower of riches.
Description: Dark burgundy in color with a tart dry finish. In addition to the color, the mulberries impart a distinct berry flavor to balance this crisp tart beverage.
Origin: Charles Cheney’s farm (and his Mulberry Grove) is perhaps the most historically significant location in the history of Mt Healthy, serving as a major waystation on the Underground Railroad. In celebration of Mt Healthy’s bicentennial anniversary this year, we bring you the most locally sourced beer we’ve made so far. The entire community gathered at our brewery in Mt Healthy on June 4th, 2017 to bring in mulberries they harvested from our community. We welcomed our mulberry-gathering patrons with a free cookout for their efforts. All-in-all over 75 lbs of mulberries were gathered in our community and used to create this truly community inspired beer. To add to the collaborative efforts, we used soured wort from Urban Artifact to create our first sour beer. The results speak volumes for what can be accomplished when individuals and organizations voluntarily collaborate and share knowledge.
Description: Dark amber in color with a balanced malt sweetness of caramel and figs infused with Earl Gray tea. It has a creamy body and a slightly sweet peppery finish from the oil of bergamot found in the Earl Gray tea.
Origin: This is the fifth of our employee collaboration beers and is the creation of Jenny Hilgefort. Things are always evolving at Fibonacci. We take great pride in brewing beers with a higher than normal alcohol content. However, it was time to finally create a truly session-able beer. Thus, the birth of Darwin’s Delight … an homage to our appreciation of science and using non-traditional ingredients in our beers. For a beer with such a low alcohol content, this beer packs quite the flavor punch!
Description: Light amber in color with a balanced flavor of malt sweetness and hop bitterness. It has a medium body and a slightly dry finish.
Origin: The fourth of our employee collaboration beers, this offering is the creation of Adam Hunt. This beer is named after the base malt used in production, Maris Otter. Lutra, the scientific name for the Eurasian otter, demonstrates an easy drinkability. This beverage is playful and appears to aid in the engagement of various behaviors for sheer enjoyment, much like otters who create slides into the water just for fun. European otters must consume 15% of their body weight each day, but it may not be best to try that with this beer. The European otter is endangered, so please drink responsibly.
Description: Saison Farmhouse ale. Pale orange color with a fruity finish from the yeasty esters.
Origin: The third of our employee collaboration beers, this offering is the creation of Justin Chaney, aka PeePaw. The name “Avus” is Latin for “grandfather”. Hence this beer roughly translates to “PeePaw’s Farmhouse Ale”.
Description: Nut Brown Ale loaded with lactose. Dark Brown with a semi-sweet finish from the lactose addition.
Origin: The second of our employee collaboration beers, this offering is the creation of Kurt Hilgefort. The name “Galacto, Brute?” is a double entendre. “Galacto” is shortened from “galactose”, one of the components of lactose, and “Brute” is the Italian plural form of “brutus”, the infamous mascot nut of THE Ohio State Buckeyes. It is also a play on “Et tu, Brute?” from the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.
Description: An American-style IPA loaded with Citra hops. Orangish in color with a slightly sweet and peppery finish from the Belgian Saison yeast.
Origin: The first of our employee collaboration beers, this offering is the creation of Chris Neumann. The name SuSe derives from “Super Secret”, Chris’s original idea to keep the concept of the beer secret from everyone. SuSE, the name of a Linux distro, is widely regarded as the best Linux enterprise server, and thus, the tie-in to our theme of naming beers after math and/or science concepts.
Description: The same base recipe as The Tollhouse infused with chocolate mint and cocoa. This is like a York® Peppermint Pattie in liquid form.
Origin: The name Mentha comes from the genus of plants in the mint family.
Description: Dark brown porter brewed with pumpkins and spices. Aged with Maple and Bacon donuts from Holtman’s Donut’s.
Origin: The name Pepo comes from the scientific name for pumpkins which is cucurbita pepo also known as summer squash. Acer is the genus of trees and shrubs to which the maple tree belongs.
Description: Pale yellow color, dominated by fresh hops in all phases … bitterness (earthy and citrusy especially grapefruit), flavor and aroma (spicy and citrusy with hints of pine). It is a true homage to the hop!
Origin: “HuLu” is our abbreviated term for “Humulus Lupulus”, the scientific species for the flowering plants we commonly know as hops. We put a ton of hops into this beer. OK, officially only 11 lbs … so .0055 tons. However, 11 lbs of hops in 2 barrels is ridiculous! Almost all of the hops (with the exception of the 1 lb of Amarillo at the end of the boil) are from fresh hops supplied by Old Dutch Hops located in Hillsboro, OH. So what exactly does it mean to be a Fresh (or Wet) Hop Ale? That means the hops were picked fresh in the morning and we brewed/dry-hopped with them the same day they were picked! It truly doesn’t get any fresher than this!
Description: Hazy pale yellow color, accented with lemon zest and grains of paradise. The grains of paradise impart a cardamom-like flavor with a slight peppery finish.
Origin: “Aestivus Estivus” is Latin for “Pertaining to Summer”. We put so much summer into this beer that we couldn’t resist simply naming it summer. Yes, we know that “Aestivus” is the term for “Summer” in Latin … however, we chose “Estivus” in an attempt to make it easier to pronounce.
Origin: The Noid is derived from the melaNOIDin malt used in grain bill. Melanoidin malt gets it name from the melanoidins, which are the polymers formed when sugars and amino acids combine (through the Maillard reaction) at high temperatures and low water activity.
Description: Orangish gold color, moderately hopped pale ale with lemony flavor and aroma. Ginger added after primary fermentation complements the lemon characteristics for a truly refreshing spring beverage.
Origin: The scientific genus for ginger is zingiber. Coupled with the lemony flavor and aroma from Centenniel and Sorachi Ace hops, gives us our namesake, Lemon Zingibeer.
Description: The same base recipe as The Tollhouse infused with Carolina Reaper peppers, the hottest chili peppers in the world. Not for the faint of heart.
Origin: The name Caps comes from the term Capsaicin (the active ingredient in chili peppers that causes them to be “hot”) and Capsicum (the genus to which all chili peppers belong). We source our Carolina Reapers from some local urban gardeners who dehydrate the peppers and then turn it into powder.
Origin: The name Rubia comes from the scientific family Rubiaceae to which all coffee plants belong. We source our coffee beans from Deeper Roots formerly located just up the street from us in Mt Healthy, OH but now residing in the West End in Cincinnati.
Description: Orangish gold color with minimal hop bitterness for an IPA, but tons of hop aroma and flavor to complement the honey and rich malt backbone. Six varieties of hops give this beer its bold fresh citrus and tropical fruit aroma and flavor. Hints of black pepper linger in the finish.
Origin: Marty’s Hops and Vines is a craft beer and fine wine establishment located on Hamilton Ave in College Hill. Hamilton Ave connects College Hill to Mt Healthy, home of Fibonacci Brewing Company … hence the namesake for this beer. We can’t think of a better establishment to partner with on our first collaboration in honor of Marty’s Hops and Vines 6th Anniversary! Congratulations Marty!
Description: Dark brown porter brewed with pumpkins and spices.
Origin: The name Pepo comes from the scientific name for pumpkins which is cucurbita pepo also known as summer squash.
Description: Orangish gold color with minimal bitterness. Peppercorns and allspice added at the end of the boil complement the spicy saison yeast.
Origin: The name Piper comes from the scientific name for peppercorns which is piperaceae or also known as the pepper family, which are a large family of flowering plants. The group contains roughly 3,600 currently accepted species in 13 genera. Piper nigrum is the most well known and yields most peppercorns that are used as spices, including black pepper, although its relatives in the family include many other spices.
Description: Pinkish gold color with no bitterness. Hints of strawberry with a slight tart finish. Infused with fresh local strawberries after fermentation.
Origin: The brewery sits on Compton Road running through Mt. Healthy. The road is named after Reuben Compton whose land the road originally passed through. Reuben was a barrel maker and kept the road up to sustain his business and routes to his customers. It’s easy to forget, as we speed along day by day, that there are countless people who in the past have made today’s conveniences possible.
