From the Breweries
From Andrew at Ram Restaurant and Brewery in Indianapolis(Downtown/Fishers):
Come by our downtown location to try our newest seasonal, Glacier Peak Pale Ale. This American Pale pours as a light-bodied, thirst-quenching American Pale Ale. The thin, dry mouthfeel is complimented kindly by the citrus dry-hop flavor and aroma, which leads to the perfect beer for the first few lawn projects of the spring. Available in Fishers soon.
On Tap Now – Downtown
Ole St. Mick’s Irish Red – caramel, toffee, and a hint of roast
Glacier Peak Pale Ale – Flavorful Citrus dry-hop
On Tap Now – Fishers
Aries American Wheat – light with a crisp hop character (Almost Gone L)
Ole St. Mick’s Irish Red – caramel, toffee, and a hint of roast
Batch 999 In Hops We Trust – huge American hops
From Clay at Sun King Brewing in Indianapolis:
We've got a LOT going on around the brewery these days. Our new brewhouse is up and running. Our collaboration with 3 Floyds was dry hopped this week and we're working out the details for its release. Regardless of when, it will only be available in our Tasting Room and at their Pub because the beer was brewed to shed light on an issue 3 Floyds is facing currently and one day we will face too. According to Indiana law, a small brewer can operate a pub or tasting room until they reach 20,000 bbls. Therefore by the best estimate, 3 Floyds will be forced to close their pub sometime in November unless our efforts in the Legislature are successful!
On another note, we've got a lot of seasonal beers on the horizon... Mai Bock will be released Friday, April 1st at the Rathskeller and then on Saturday in the Tasting Room. Our Inaugural Indianapolis Indians seasonal beer, named 1887 in honor of the 125th anniversary of baseball in Indianapolis, will be released on Saturday night of Opening Weekend! The tapping will take place in the brand new Captains Cove, which is a full service bar area in left field and features reserved seating and table service. We just brewed Indiana Landmarks Wit in honor of the Indiana Landmarks Societies new home just up the way on Central Ave. It will be tapped at Sun Kin on Thursday, April 14th. We'll also be tapping Batch 333: The Velvet Fog sometime in the near future!
