Triton Brewing

Triton Brewing – That's the name of Jon Lang's new brewery startup to be built on the northeast side of Indianapolis. Partners Lang, Mike DeWeese, and David Waldman unveiled the corporate name last night as Jon served prototype beers including a no-name flagship American IPA – quite good – that will probably end up being called Railsplitter Ale.

Here's what we know:

• The 20-bbl equipment from Warbird is in Indy waiting to be installed in their new digs.
• The water will be tamed by reverse-osmosis.
• The Triton name reflects "it's all about the water".
• Investment opportunities are still available.
• They plan a tasting room at the brewery – which will be "conveniently close to Great Fermentations".
• Jon plans an IPA, a Brown, and more of his barrel-aged beers that won lots of medals for Barley Island.
• They hope to have beer hitting the stores yet this year.

Previously we had reported Jon and Mike and Scott Wise were working on Beer Baron or Thr3e Wise Men to be located in Broad Ripple and produce a line of beer for Wise's Scotty's Brewhouse chain. That partnership has fallen apart but we're told Wise has signed for the location on Broad Ripple Ave and the Monon Trail signed for and is looking for equipment and a brewer.
