From Andrew at Ram Restaurant and Brewery in Downtown Indianapolis/Fishers:
Viva Agave
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone. In celebration, we have a specialty release to be known as “Viva Agave!”, which will combine our seasonal Glacier Peak Pale with raw agave nectar. The honey-like sweetness from the Agave merges perfectly with the hoppy, dry base in our seasonal pale ale. Salud! (No growlers)
137th Kentucky Derby – Special Release
With the “Greatest two minutes in sports” set for this Saturday, we have a specially prepared release for your enjoyment. At 4 p.m., during the broadcast of this premier horse racing event, each location will tap one keg of one of our fall seasonals, NUTorious Brown, set aside and aged in a bourbon whiskey barrel from Kentucky’s own Evan Williams Distilling. This beer combines a strong chocolaty base with equal helpings of vanilla and whiskey extracted from the barrel. (No Growlers)
On Tap Now – Downtown and Fishers
Big Horn Maibock – Malty German Maibock with a slightly sweet finish
Glacier Peak Pale – refreshing American Pale dry-hopped with Cascade hops
