445 Compton Road, Mount Healthy
Named by co-founders Bob and Betty Bollas for the Fibonacci Sequence a concept found in math, nature, classical architecture and even the hop plant itself the nanobrewerys Foundational Series pays homage to its roots. Oberhausen, a pale, bitter kölsch with a grape finish, finds its inspiration in 12 families who moved from the Oberhausen area of Germany to Mount Healthy in the 1840s. Whereas the Tollhouse, an American stout crafted with coffee and cocoa, gets its name from The Toll House Gang, which kept Mount Healthys past alive by swapping stories over a cup of joe at the old toll house. Today, locals go to Fibonacci to swap stories of their own over a pint of beer.
