From Chris at RAM Restaurant & Brewery:

Hello All - We have two new beers that will be ready for you over the next two weeks. Come out and enjoy them with us.

S'no Angel Weizenbock

A wonderful new batch of our winter seasonal, S'no Angel, is "chugging" along in the fermenter.  This year's Weizenbock is shaping up to be a special treat with rich flavors of dates and subtle chocolate alongside the delicate banana and clove notes contributed by our Bavarian yeast strain.  This tasty libation will be available for your enjoyment at 6:30 p.m. next Wednesday, 11/20.  Join the brewers at the downtown Indy RAM location for the official tapping.

Ghost King IPA

We've decided to pull an old favorite out of the recipe vault.  Ghost King IPA has been one of our most requested seasonal releases here at the Indianapolis RAM, and we're pleased to be bringing it back for a glorious and triumphant return!  Its light malt body allows the citrus dry-hop flavors to shine, making it a wonderfully drinkable and refreshing India Pale Ale!  Look for Ghost King to hit the taps in the next couple of weeks.

Join Indy Beer News for the first in a series of panel discussions called Indy Beer Talks, where we'll tackle the big issues of Indy's craft beer scene. For our first discussion, we'll welcome the following panel to discuss the rampant industry growth, the question of saturation, and the increasing competition for tap handles. Clay Robinson - Sun King Brewing, Jon Lang - Triton Brewing Company, Chris Sikich - Indy Star and Jake Koeneman - Hoosier Beer Geeks.

Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 28, Triton Brewing Company will be closed! Happy Thanksgiving!

Starting at 3pm, Floyd's Folly Scottish Ale, Monon Wheat, General Brown Sour Brown Ale, and the new collaboration beer with Union Brewing Company Rye on the Scarecrow Double Rye IPA will be on tap for the first time outside the breweries.
