Hoppy visited some of his friends at Crazy Horse Hops on Tuesday. It is the largest hop farm in Indiana and one of the largest in the Midwest. It is located in Knightstown. This year’s harvest has begun with Cascade and Chinook hops.
It is Hoppy’s favorite time of the year. Be on the lookout for fresh/wet hop ales from your favorite breweries. You can find more information here.

(LOUISVILLE, KY) – Louisville-based Goodwood Brewing & Spirits has announced plans to take over the RAM Restaurant and Brewpub in Indianapolis, IN. Goodwood Indianapolis will feature a full kitchen and brewery onsite. Goodwood’s well known beer and spirits, seasonal and rotating brews will be on the menu. A diverse food menu features southern classics with a twist, such as Chicken and Waffles, Buffalo Cauliflower, Bourbon Brined Pork Chop and a unique and delicious weekend brunch. All menus highlight house made and craft beer infused sauces, including Goodwood’s new line of beer infused hot sauces.
Goodwood Indianapolis will be the fourth brewpub location, and first outside of Kentucky.
CEO Ted Mitzlaff expressed enthusiasm about the new location, stating “Goodwood is excited to be expanding to Indiana’s capital city. Indianapolis is a great community with a vibrant craft beer scene. Located in the heart of downtown, we will cater to locals, sports fans, tourists and conventioneers. We offer lunch and dinner, an excellent spot for sports viewing and a variety of craft beer and spirits.
The brewpub will be located at 140 S Illinois St. and features a patio for outdoor dining, a spacious dining area including a private rental space, a 10 BL brewery system and a tremendous bar. Goodwood is targeting July 5th for the opening.
