Two new places with craft beer are now open, Black Market on Mass Ave and La Revolucion in Fountain Square. I am looking forward to trying one and getting more acquainted with the other. You will definitely be seeing a roundup from both places soon.
We also hear that Black Swan is starting to brew! We look forward to that, and we'll pass along more information as we get it.

Tapping an English-Style Brown Ale for the weekend:
This is a medium bodied beer with nutty and roated malt flavors.
It’s balanced well with the hops and goes down smooth and easy.
This beer goes great with a steak or a burger!
ABV = 5.5% OG = 1.056 IBU = 26

Batch 1000 – Easy Rye-der
Saturday is the big day! We will be tapping the 1000th batch in the history of the Indianapolis RAM Restaurant and Brewery at 3 p.m. This Imperial Rye Pilsner known as “Easy Rye-der” features an overall smoothness from the base of Pilsner malt that hides its 8.5% ABV while also including Rye bread notes and a complimentary noble dry-hop character. If that wasn’t enough, the brewery will also be tapping a rare release of the 2010 Barrel-aged NUTorious Brown Ale which was aged in Evan William’s whiskey barrels
This celebration will also include:
- Complimentary Cuisine including Tomatillo Carne de Cerdo (Pulled Pork with Polenta) and Amber Ale Cheese Dip
- Evan William’s folks will be in the house doing Bourbon sampling
- And, live acoustic music from “Cougar Bait”

From Corrie at Goose the Market in Indianapolis:
From Patrick at Patrick’s Kitchen in Zionsville:
Now on the shelves at the Goose...
Hi, I'm Cuery and you'll be suery if you miss Cuir, an old ale partially aged in bourbon barrels that The Bruery released to celebrate their third anniversuery.
People who live in glass towers shouldn't throw their empty bottles of De Glazen Torren's Saison D'erpe Mere.
Did you hear that? Great Divide's Rumble is an APA aged on French and American oak.
Sometimes you can judge a bottle by its label...this beer's name just might be the best of the summer...introducing Kentucky Light.
From Patrick at Patrick’s Kitchen in Zionsville:
Having a little trouble keeping the IPA's straight, but here goes, we were fortunate enough to get one of the first kegs of Sun King's "A few hops more!"..there is Founder's Double Trouble, Upland's Double Dragon Fly, Boulevard Brewing Tank 7, at the moment we have a bit of Dark Horse's Double Crooked Tree, and then we tap People's Brewing keg of Farmer's Daughter American Wheat....which we blew thru last time we had it...thank you Chris Johnson.
Backing it up is a keg of Dreadnaught, and a keg of Sun King's Popcorn Pils.
