Something about old fashioned production facilities like this is so fascinating. Perhaps it's because everything is simple enough that you can actually tell what's going on.

This could have been a hour long easily.

As a daytonion I can for sure tell you their in house beers are awesome.

The power of this man's beard is giving me life.

They made a great point that bears repeating - people in the past were just as smart as we are nowadays. They had the same reasoning abilities, the same ability to experiment and observe.

I love how this was shot, allowing the owner and beer master to just talk. Some of my favorite youtubers will sometimes get too in to interview mode and talk about their own excitement rather than letting the people describe what is going on. In this video the only interview part was the very end and it was short and sweet.

Fascinating to see how brewing, post-industrialization, both has and hasn't changed

When John came walking up the stairs my immediate reaction was "Woah that's John from 18th Century Cooking!" Forgot I was watching Townsends. The production quality over the years has improved phenomenally. This is some of the best content you can find on the internet in my opinion. Glad I found this channel years ago. Videos just keep getting more and more interesting.

Between all of the brewing going on and all of the fires going, that place must have smelled absolutely fantastic. 😁

Yes!!!! Our family loves this place! Thank you for covering the Carillon Brewing Company!

I have never said I have a favorite episode, I love them all. But this is my favorite so far and now I really need to go to Dayton, OH when it is possible! Thank you!

For me, it was a privilege and a pleasure to listen to Dan Laurel explain Carillon's brewing arts and relate the history of beer making in Ohio.

Ohio is my home. Great to have you come visit and share some of our history in this great state.

We've lived in Dayton for about four years now and this is our favorite place. The entire facility that is Carillon Historical Park is an extraordinary experience. Lucky for us it's just five minutes from our house.

As a longtime Townsends viewer, I was so proud you visited my hometown of Dayton and made this piece on Carillon Brewing company. The Gem City truly was the Wild West of those days.

Listening to these brewers talk is so interesting, they're very articulate about the history of the craft and it is obviously their passion. Could listen to them talk for hours about beer.

Townsend was at Dayton !!!!!!!! And I MISSED HIM

Miami Valley Native! Thanks for this video Jon!

As a Dayton native, and longtime viewer/subscriber, thank you for shining some light on my hometown! Absolutely love this channel!

I went to a historical brewing conference years ago and saw a panel on this place and always wanted to see it. Thank you for showing this amazing place

What a beautiful location. I don't drink but I'd love to just hang around this place. Great vibe.

I love that these guys are also historians 🙊 they are keeping the magic alive!

What amazing men. Thank God for this neat operation and for Townsends. I hope I get to visit them someday.

AHHH! My home town! I love this brewery. We go there all the time!

Been to carillon park several times but the last time I was there they were still in the process of building this. Thank you for covering it looks like I will have to make another trip!

I have fun fact about beer. In Poland (and later in Germany) was brewed smoked beer. You can do that by smoking malt. Name of this beer style is Grodziskie, named from a city where it was brewed in Poland. It's very light, summer beer, between 2.5-4% of alcohol. That smoky flavour is strange at first, but later on it is fantastic experience.

How lovely, you guys were literally in my backyard when I was a kid. I lived a little bit Downriver from Carillon Park. It is a nice piece of living history. I never actually went in many of the buildings ( some of which have been built since I've in the visit) I had visited Carillon Park in the past. The Carillon Bells are always an attraction. I live in Eastern Tennessee and I returned home for visits every few years, I'll be going back up for the eclipse in 2024. 😺

Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy . Benjamin Franklin

As a Daytonian, I am so happy that you’ve visited our city, and I had NO idea there was such a hidden gem here. One more reason to love Dayton!

How smart and resourceful people must have been back then in all of their endeavors. I loved this.

As always, loved this! My wife and I have adored the channel from the start. It's never lost on us how incredible you already were when starting, but still--how far you've come in your productions!

Carillon Park is a wonderful place to visit! This brewery also houses a restaurant which has delicious meals to go with the beer. ;)

I enjoy the craftwork like this of alcoholic drink, even though I haven't drank any alcohol in my life. It tells a story of humans working togheter to make something loads of people can enjoy.

Oddly enough, Dayton is a good place for craft brewing.

This is so cool, when I saw the finished beer I was like "this looks like weissbier" (I live near the german border). But it turns out this is really close lol, love that style of beer. Didnt know it was uncommon in the US.

I grew up near Dayton. Carillon park was one of my favorite field trips as an 80's kid. It started my interest in living history.

Wow, you sure rung the bell for Ohioans in general and Daytonians in particular! Who knew you had so many viewers from around here? If you get the chance, look up the Quadstate Roundup put on by Southern Ohio Forge and Anvil (SOFA). It's a blacksmithing convention they do every September. About 1000 smiths attend and it's only about a half an hour north of the brewery.

I love being from Dayton it's a very historically rich ( in history) area

These 2 episodes on Brewing Beer are outstanding. I have enjoyed them so very much. Thank you, Mr. Townsends.

This is so great. I volunteered at Carillon for a time with Kyle and it was very educational and a lot of fun!

Well thank you sir! You just helped me discover a new beer. I'm absolutely going to seek it out.

One of my favorite haunts here in Dayton :)

How dare he come to town and not let us know! All his Dayton fans (like us) would have loved to meet him in person

As a Daytonian who has Carillon Brewing a 10 minute drive from me, I might be biased but I think they have great beer! Also they have good food and it's located right next to the Carillon Historical Park. If you're ever passing through Dayton I recommend stopping there and at the National Museum of the US Air Force!

Love this episode! Also, Townsends' production quality is amazing! I've been watching for 5 years now and love to see how everyone has improved their craft (both with shooting episodes/editing and exploring history) in all respects.

Check out Shepheard Neame Steam Brewery in Faversham, Kent. The steam engine was used for grinding and pumping and the waste heat was used to heat the malting floor. Breweries of this style were vertical - the grain is lifted to the top floor and germinated, then each process happens on the floor below with the heavy brewing tuns at the bottom.

What a wonderful building! So much ambiance. I've brewed in the past. This makes me want to start again. Great video Jon!

John. This is truly a fantastic video, one of your best! The camerawork, the pacing, the interviews make this is an A+ documentary.

My Great Grandfather owned Pioneer Brewing Company in Dayton, Ohio in the 1800's 🍺

The production values on Townsends videos is amazing. I see great things in your futures. I really enjoyed this informative video.

Awesome field trip yall took Townsend. Thank you for sharing your passion.

Love your content John! Thanks a lot

This place is great. Good food and beer.

Fantastic, thank you for taking us along. I would enjoy more videos on manufacturing during this time. Maybe more about how businesses ran and what life was like for people working in them.

I HAVE BEEN THERE!!

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing this historical industry with us. That building is awe inspiring and the historians that work there really know what they are doing and it shows in their work, Thank you again for bringing this to us.

Great content. As a homebrewer, I love these type of videos. I wish there was a channel just based on these traditional methods of brewing.

I used to work at this brewery. Some of best memories were roasting marshmallows on the big ground floor fire while sipping home made root beer after cleaning up for the night. Such a unique experience. Carillon introduced me to sour beers and have yet to go back. Their porter is my favorite!

That building is beautiful.

Beautiful building

Amazing! Thanks for bringing this living history to the world.

Two of my favorites- Townsends and Carillon Brewing/Historical Park. Thanks for posting this great video. Cheers!

Every single Townsends video is an absolute banger, but I love historical brewing especially! This is awesome!

It always amazes me how much beer brewing and cheese making have in common, especially pre-industrial, right down to letting the local microbes determine the flavour at the end.

Knocking it out of the park again Townsends. Excellent craftsmanship and explanations, by these brewers.

I went into this having done a bunch of modern brewing with a friend. . This is some really cool history, a lot of it I didn’t know. The origins of germ theory. The use of gravity working from top to bottom, Without modern pumps or co2. Wood and copper in place of stainless steel. Building fires and making beer In between, I liked that. 😂. great video, thanks!

Fantastic! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE old brewing! Thank you so much for making this!

This was so interesting! I particularly love videos like these where you travel the country to find such cool places that I can now add to my bucket list! Dayton is 4 hours from where I live, so this could be a lovely weekend trip one day this fall.

Fascinating stuff! Love the old kegs and tubs along with the processes.

So interesting and informative 👍 love these historical videos and info on 1700and 1800's cooking brewing 😊

Love these shows, thank you.

The production quality of your stuff is so amazing. This is such a high tier channel. Thank you for all your amazing content. I'm gonna make sure I buy some stuff from Townsends when I have money to

These fine folks are just down the road from me. Apreceate your visit and showing a great brewery here in Dayton Ohio. Love your show!

This video was so fascinating. Excellent historical content as always.

Wow! Bucket list to visit!

One of the best profiles by Townsends right here. What an amazing project this is.

I'm from Dayton, OH. Heck yes, Townsends! Much love, brother.

Wow! Beautiful footage and editing!

I grew up in and around Dayton, there is a lot of historical awesomeness in that town.

Outstanding video and lesson. I lived in Dayton as a kid and now I want to visit it and go to this brewery.

Been there! An excellent time if you're ever in the neighborhood. They do an outstanding lights display during the holidays. Great video!

This is so fascinating! Love this video format.

Amazing episode! Love when you guys do things with beer and spirits. Looks like a really warm job! Lol

Thanks for sharing with us Jon. Thanks to the brewers who have continued the traditional way of sharing their products. Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

This is a fascinating factory and a fascinating interview!

Wunderbar! I've got a little beer heritage in my family tree, on the German side. There were so many German breweries in this little city that I wondered how they all managed to stay in business. This answers it for me! I found out about it by digging through archived city directories going back to 1870. I saw that my great-grandpa's sister Bertha (say "BARE - ta") had married a brewster's heir. Her husband eventually took over the family business, then when he retired their son took it over. I know exactly where it was located, too. Unfortunately the block was destroyed by fire long after the breweries were all forced to close because of Prohibition. I would have liked to have been able to see it in person and not just old drawings and photographs.

So great to see you visiting my hometown! Carillon is a gem!

Amazing story and fantastic video. Great job.

My lord, Dan's beard is absolutely glorious! it has the curved mustache as well!

I can't stop and watch right now, but I am really looking forward to this one.

What a great episode. Thanks for sharing

What an amazing crew and building! They really captured the soul of an 18-19th century brewery! I’m sure their product tastes great too!

This was a great video! And the atmosphere there looks awesome! Love bricks!

Very lucky this is 15 minutes away. Food is also very good at Carillon. Was very happy to see Dayton on the Townsend’s. Pioneer Village at Caesars Creek is also excellent. I highly recommend their Christmas candle light tours and the Maple Pancake breakfast each spring!

That was awesome ! one of the best. If I lived anywhere near there I'd be there tonight! Thanks

Awesome video! As a homebrewer and history nerd, I'm going to have to make a trip down to Dayton and show some love.

Great to see my own backyard featured on a Townsends video! I was so surprised to see this pop up. Thank you!

Great video from the brewery at Carrilon Historical Park. Thank you for sharing this.

Jon, Keep making videos like this!!! This is super interesting!!!! 😊

Stopped there this summer (and had a very nice chat with the brewers). Highly recommended. Their beer and food is very good.
