Paddling Film Festival Primer at Warped Wing Brewing Company | A Meet and Greet!

Warped Wing Brewing Company

Prior to the Reel Paddling Film Festival at the Neon Theatre, let's gather for a Warped Wing Hydro Haze and dinner at Warped Wing Brewing Company which is located within walking distance of the movie venue.

The taproom opens at 4PM, but the official gathering begins at 5PM. The brewery is first come - first serve seating. Those of us that work in Downtown Dayton will attempt to arrive a bit early and hold seating the best we can.

Come for dinner or just for a pint but come. This is a unique brewery that I am sure you will enjoy. The brewery is located at 26 Wyandot St., Dayton, OH 45402 and is in a building that was once a foundry. The food menu is located at the bottom of this web page. The food is very good and there is variety for all.

We are teaching rolling to up to 7 new students each week. New students pay $75 for the first session only. You learn using our equipment. $10 of that goes to the YMCA. We guarantee the roll class fee. If you fail to roll one of our boats in the first class, we will not charge for the roll fee. Less the $10 pool fee. This meet up is just an FYI. Signing up here does NOT give you access. As confirmation of your slot in class, Gwen will send you an email with class details, including how to enter the facility. This is the largest YMCA in the U.S. We do not use the front door.
Fees collected when you arrive. Bring a clean boat, if you are bringing your gear. If you do not get a positive confirmation from Gwen, you do not have a reservation. I am posting this to get the word out to your group.
