What's Brewing

From Andrew at Ram Restaurant and Brewery in Indianapolis/Fishers:

Big Events:
November 11th - We welcome all comers to join us for the tapping of S’no Angel Weizenbock at our Downtown Indy location on Thursday, November 11th at 7 p.m. S’no Angel will strike your palate as a heavenly combination of rich bready malt, balanced noble hops, and a yeast character that features lovely clove notes with a touch of vanilla and banana. We will also feature menu items specially selected by our Head Chef, Steven Anderson.

On Tap Now – Downtown and Fishers
Aries American Wheat – Light and citrusy
Pie’d Piper Pumpkin Ale – Pumpkin Pie in a Glass Gone downtown and only a little bit left in Fishers
NUTorious Brown Ale – Deep, dark malt with a strong kick of American Citrus hops

On the Horizon: Blue Pride German Pilsner.

As always, thanks and see you soon.

From Jerry at Rock Bottom Downtown:

On the 11th Jerry @RockBottom will be tapping his Naught Scot wee heavy at 6 PM and then Andrew @TheRam will be tapping his S'No Angel Weizenbock at 7 PM that same night. A good excuse for a pub crawl.
