HOG MOLLY – COLUMBUS
HOG MOLLY – COLUMBUS
After missing Hogfest earlier this summer, due to the high heat and humidity, Hoppy ventured out to Hog Molly in Columbus, IN yesterday to knock back a cool one! In this case it was a Hog Molly 2-A-Days Session Lemon IPA clocking in at 4.3% ABV with 45 IBU. He also sampled their Hog Molly IPA at 7.2% ABV and 78 IBU, as well as their Double Tight Double IPA hovering at 8.9% ABV and 100+ IBU. If you haven’t already guessed it, much of the Hog Molly vibe is related to football. They also have a good sense of humor, as evidenced by their signs. Pictures of the taproom follow.

Hoppy visited Primeval Brewing in Noblesville on Saturday. While there, he imbibed a Maxwell International IPA clocking in at 6.4% ABV, 81 IBU. It is named after the Maxwell Motorcars dealership that opened in their taproom space in 1912. Maxwell can be seen painted on the old brick wall in the bar area, which adds to the history of the brewpub. Photos follow.
