Birdfish 11 Year Anniversary

to Nov 22

Birdfish 11 Year Anniversary

Phew, time flies. 11 years, here we come!

Hard to believe it's been eleven years since we first opened our doors. A lot of beer has been brewed, a lot of music has been played, and a whole lot of good people have become part of the Birdfish story along the way.

November 20th–22nd, we're celebrating with three days of special beer releases, killer live music, some of our favorite food trucks, limited-edition anniversary glassware and a few surprises up our sleeves.

We've got one heck of a weekend planned, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than with the people who've made these eleven years possible.

Here's to good beer, good music, good company and keeping this whole thing rolling.

/// FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH ///

Twenty years of jams. Eleven years of Birdfish. One heck of a way to kick off the weekend.

Doors open at Noon with a NEW barrel-aged stout on tap — Come out and meet “El Cap” our 10.8% Imperial Stout aged in High Bank Distillery Ohio Bourbon Barrels for 1 year. Draft only. No growler fills. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

Grab a limited-edition 6-pack of Bird Light Lager, featuring collectible anniversary label variants! Same crisp, easy-drinking American light lager you know and love, dressed up for our 11th anniversary. Collect all the label variants to complete your set! Only 10 cases available, so grab a 6-pack while they last.

4–9 PM ~ Roxbury Pizza firing up their wood-fired oven on the patio.

6–9 PM ~ JONES FOR REVIVAL LIVE! Making their Birdfish debut while celebrating 20 years of psychedelic jams, funky grooves and high-energy improvisation. Twenty years of making music meets eleven years of making beer. Seems like a pretty dang good reason to get together.

\\\ SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21ST \\\

We're going all in on Saturday. Doors open at Noon with TWO limited-edition 11 Year Anniversary glasses. Only 144 available. Once they're gone, they're gone. Get a pour of Yo Paisano, our dry hopped Italian Pilsner in your new glass. Available in cans and on tap Saturday for the party.

12–9 PM ~ Two & A Half Greeks + Cheeze Louize serving up the goods all day.

12–2 PM ~ DJ AkA kicks things off in The Ballroom.

2:30–5 PM ~ THE YOUNGSTOWN HORNS! You'll hear them before you see them. A special brass-filled performance marching through the taproom and straight into The Ballroom.

7–9 PM ~ THE CONKLE BROTHERS LIVE ALBUM RECORDING! Columbiana's own are turning The Ballroom into a recording studio, and YOU are the studio audience. Original songs more than a decade in the making, captured live for the very first time. One night. One room. One record.

/// SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22ND ///

Sunday is for family, BBQ, Santa Claus, bluegrass and one more day of celebrating together.

12–7 PM ~ Smoke Worx Street Cuisine BBQ! Our homie Jon Lee has been slinging BBQ at Birdfish since the very beginning in 2015. Eleven years later, we're both still at it. Couldn't think of a better crew to help close out the weekend.

1–4 PM ~ SANTA & MRS. CLAUS are coming to Birdfish! Bring the kiddos, snap some photos and kick off the Christmas season. Birdfish has always been a family-friendly brewery, and this celebration is for the whole crew.

2–4 PM ~ RORY McCLELLAN LIVE! An afternoon of contemporary old-time flatpicking and bluegrass inspired by Tony Rice, Norman Blake and Doc Watson. Just a guitar, a voice, a few chords and the truth.

Thank you for continuing to drink local, support small businesses, support local agriculture, listen to local music and believe in this weird little brewery from Columbiana, Ohio.

Most importantly, thank you for believing in us.

Come raise a glass with us November 20th–22nd.

CHEERS TO 11 YEARS, Y'ALL!

Jones for Revival

Twenty years of jams. Eleven years of Birdfish. One hell of a way to kick off the anniversary weekend.

We’re stoked to welcome local jam legends Jones For Revival to the Birdfish stage for the very first time! They’re celebrating 20 years of making music, and they’re helping us kick off our 11 Year Anniversary Party the only way they know how — stretching songs out, getting weird, and keeping the room moving.

Come raise a glass to 20 years of Jones For Revival and 11 years of Birdfish.

Since 2006, Jones For Revival has been carving out their own lane with an organic blend of psychedelic jams, funky grooves, and high-energy improvisation. From the Midwest to stages across the country, Jones has built a reputation for bringing a genuine, anything-can-happen energy to every show.

The live set speaks for itself — ripping guitar, funky bass lines, swirling synths, and tight drums come together to keep the crowd moving while the band stretches songs into something new every night.

Now two decades in, Jones For Revival is still doing what they do best: playing tight grooves, getting weird, and bringing the good jams and good people together.

6th Annual TUNES for TOYS for TOTS featuring Blooming Trio

Join us in the Ballroom Friday, December 4th for live music and a local toy drive. We’re partnering with Jacob’s Heart again this year and will be collecting new toys and gifts for the children staying at the Akron Children’s Hospital Beeghly Boardman Campus over the holidays.

This year we welcome Blooming Trio to the Ballroom for this years Tunes for Toys for Tots event. Live music will begin at 6 p.m. and go till 9 p.m.

The Blooming Trio is a soulful collaboration of singer-songwriters Bethany Joy, Josee McGee, and Skye Burkett—three artists from the heart of the Rust Belt whose powerful voices intertwine in three-part harmonies. Keys, acoustic, and electric guitar accompany each other creating an intimate, genre-bending sound that feels both timeless and fresh. Drawing from influences that span indie rock, jazz, folk, and soul, their music blooms with raw emotion, lyrical depth, and vibrant chemistry.

We ask all patrons who wish to view/listen to the live music to bring a toy for entry into these shows. If you still want to donate, but cannot attend the show on Friday we will be collecting toys Monday, November 30th through Thursday, December 3rd. Come together and help us make a kid's Christmas special this year!

A Movable Feast Food Truck will be set up on the patio serving from 4 to 9 p.m. They will also donate 25% of their sales on Friday, December 4th to Jacob’s Heart Foundation.

We are looking for new toys and gifts for these kids. Here are some ideas if you need ‘em: Coloring Books, Legos, Play-Doh, Craft & Art Kits, Bath & Body Gift Sets, X-Box Games, Teen Books, Toy Cars, Trucks & Tractors, Barbies and Dolls, NICU Blankets (25” x 40”), New Stuffed Animals w/Tags, Baby Onsies, Blocks, Playing Cards, Games, Play Food Sets, Play Tool Sets, Crayons, Markers, Journals, Drawing Paper, Hygiene Kits, Toddler Clothing

A little bit about Jacob’s Heart: Jacob was born on April 17, 1995 with a heart condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. This means he was born without the left side of his heart being complete. He was born at St Elizabeth Hospital then flown to Columbus Children’s Hospital. He had open heart surgery when he was 3 days old. Jacob was able to come home at 7 weeks. His mother, Nicole Eells was on her way to take him for an appointment back in Columbus on June 30, 1995, when he passed away on the way to the appointment. He was 10 weeks and 3 days old when he passed. Nicole began working at Akron Children’s Hospital 6 years ago. After seeing how things work there and the toys and books handed out to the kids, Nicole and her husband decided to start a toy drive in honor of Jacob. This is their 5th year doing the Christmas toy drive. We are happy to partner with the Eells family and Akron Children’s Hospital Boardman Campus on this years Tunes for Toys for Tots event.

We anticipate a higher volume of customers during our Tunes for Toys for Tots event. We want to remind all customers that space may be limited and that tables not fully occupied may be open for shared space. We will not be able to take reservations for this event and all seating is first-come, first-serve.

Vinyl DJ: 80's Basement

Join 80’s Basement from Noon to 2PM in the Ballroom for a superbly curated selection of vinyl.

Meet Jeff and Ken, two temporal refugees who accidentally locked themselves inside a 1984 time capsule and flat-out refused to call for help. While the rest of the world embraced Bluetooth and streaming, these two stayed behind in a wood-paneled subterranean kingdom to guard the sacred holy trinity: cold Mickey’s Big Mouths, a fresh pack of Swisher Sweets, and original vinyl pressings cranked loud enough to rattle the lava lamp. Bathed in the warm glow of silver-face stereo VU meters and surrounded by wall-to-wall shag carpet, they spend their days arguing over whether the Michael Stanley Band's Strike Up the Band beats Donnie Iris screaming "Ah! Leah!", all while keeping a nod ready for Red Rider's "Lunatic Fringe" when the mood turns edgy. With a brick-sized cordless phone waiting on a call from a long-defunct video store, Jeff and Ken aren't just stuck in the past—they’re running a hilarious, high-decibel NE Ohio resistance movement against the modern age.

Noteworthy Music's Rock School presents Talie Day

Noteworthy Music's Rock School presents Talie Day

We teamed up with Noteworthy Music’s Rock School to bring you a fun afternoon of live music from some of their best bands:

  • Flamin Hot 2:00-2:40 p.m.

  • Fall to the Edge 2:45-3:25 p.m.

  • AuXyGen 3:30-4:10 p.m.

  • Talie Day SOLO 4:15-5:00 p.m.

At just 17 years old, Talie Day is a powerhouse emerging on the pop music scene, blending raw talent with undeniable charisma and a work ethic far beyond her years. A Brazilian-American artist with a deep passion for music, Talie lives and breathes her craft. From mastering melodies to exploring artistic expression, she is shaping her future as a multifaceted creative force.

https://www.noteworthymusicpa.com/rock-school

Our Mission: to provide students and families with the tools and skills they need to enjoy music for a lifetime.

Our guiding principle: Every person who walks in the door walks out better.

Since 1987, Noteworthy Music (originally Noteworthy Music Academy) has been helping families and individuals have the blessings of music in their lives. Upon its founding by Janet Dietrich, who had been putting her music degrees to use in private instruction, and husband Bob, who provided business support, the academy grew rapidly by attracting many qualified, personable instructors. Unable to get quality instruments and accessories for their own children affordably from area stores, Janet and Bob began offering them for rent or purchase affordably from their own store, creating Noteworthy Music.

Shortly after Bob's passing, Janet retired, passing the business on to her son, Jim Dietrich, who moved his family back to the Pittsburgh area to run Noteworthy Music. Under his direction, Noteworthy Music added a retail line and continued to enhance its lessons and rental business. One of the key components of that development was the hiring of Nathan Bodnar.

Two years later, in 2018, Jim brought on business partner Jonny Kigin, allowing Nathan to pursue further education as a luthier apprentice and instrument technician. Jonny's arrival also brought to the table extensive retail and organizational behavior experience.

In 2021, Jim and Jonny opened a second location in Franklin Park, PA. This location boasted nine lesson rooms and a great location. In order to do so, they doubled the staff. It was at this time that Paul Macedonia joined the team.

2022 saw the naissance of the very popular Noteworthy Music Rock School program, headed up by Paul Macedonia.

In 2023, they further expanded by opening their newest Valencia location and moving the corporate operation there. Just up the road from their long-time Valencia location, the new facility boasts four additional lesson rooms, an expanded percussion room, a break room, and a 1000 square foot performance venue/ event room.

Together, they continue to operate Noteworthy Music as a family business, focusing on the customer and fulfilling the mission established by Janet and Bob over thirty years ago.

Riley Burke Band’s debut album will be released this fall, with singles “Getting Used to You” and “Love Me Too” coming out this summer.
