From Clay at Sun King Brewing in Indianapolis:


We've got another new beer coming out this week: Pale Ryder is the final beer in this Summer's Spaghetti Western Trilogy. It's a delicious rye pale that was crafted with Galaxy exclusively hops from Australia. It has a distinctive grapefruit character (But nothing like the combination of hops we use to create next week's beer, Grapefruit Jungle). We've also got Big H: Hefeweizen available in the Tasting Room and the very last of Nelson, so stop in and get it before it's gone....
