TOMLINSON TAP ROOM – INDIANAPOLIS

TOMLINSON TAP ROOM – INDIANAPOLIS

Hoppy recently visited the Tomlinson Tap Room at the historic Indianapolis City Market. It is run in partnership with the Brewers of Indiana Guild and the Indianapolis City Market. They feature nineteen beers on draft, all of which are from Indiana breweries.

While visiting, Hoppy enjoyed the following brews:

Spin To Win: Jackpot from Hoosier Brewing in Greenwood. It is a sour packed with loads of fruit – black currant, blackberries, strawberries and blueberries. Described as thick, tart and a touch sweet. 5% ABV.

BBA Blot Out The Sun (2021) from Three Floyds Brewing in Munster. This is an imperial stout that spends over a year in bourbon barrels and extinguishes all light with notes of chocolate, molasses, and brown sugar and whiskey notes from the barrel aging. “Since the dawn of time it has been mankind’s dream to blot out the sun.” – C. Montgomery Burns. 13.4%; 97 IBU.

Into The Wild Sour: Blueberry Pomegranate from Guggman Haus Brewing in Indianapolis. This fruited sour Berliner Weisse combines tart blueberry tannin notes with background pomegranate sweetness. They use a wild yeast strain for natural souring, and brewed with milk sugars for a creamy, refreshing body. 8% ABV.

Each of these three beers have a 4+ rating on Untappd!

GRAND JUNCTION BREWING – WESTFIELD

GRAND JUNCTION BREWING – WESTFIELD

Grand Junction Brewing in Westfield was Hoppy’s next visit. They opened their doors in April, 2014 and are community focused. Their name is a nod to Westfield’s rich history of the Monon and Midland Railroads that ran through the area as well as the Underground Railroad for which the city is known.

While there, Hoppy enjoyed a A Clockwork Haze, a New England style IPA described as having a rich base of wheat and flaked oats with a heavy dry hopping of Citra, Azacca and Cascade for a dank, smooth citrus flavor. It clocks in at 7.6% ABV; 35 IBU.
