INDIANA CITY BREWING SEND-OFF – INDIANAPOLIS

INDIANA CITY BREWING SEND-OFF – INDIANAPOLIS

It is always sad when a craft brewery closes their doors, but in this case, it is especially so. Indiana City Brewing has had a decade long run and are located in a historic building that once housed the Home Brewing Company with roots back to 1891. (Their brands included Home Brew, Columbia, and Indiana ale and porter.)

Hoppy attended a taproom takeover send-off event last night, that was hosted by the Indy Beer Meetup Group, at the brewery. (If you are not already a member, you should consider joining the Indy Beer group!)

If you wish to visit Indiana City, they expect to be open and serving beer into next week. Please check their website or give them a call to make sure that they are open.

We wish the owner and the employees nothing but the best in their future endeavors!
