Indiana Beer News – June 26

The Ram (Indy and Fishers) have $5.99 growler fills from now until the end of July,. ($6.99 on seasonals such as Spring Fever, Bill’s Bettor, Barefoot Wit, Batch 1000 Easy Rye-der, and the upcoming JR’s Cucumber Blonde).

Rumors we heard at the Brew-Ha-Ha:

  • At Three Pints Brewpub, Tom Hynes has put a priority on keeping 5 regulars on tap.
  • New Boswell and Lil' Charlie's are starting a joint venture for Roderick Landess to send beer from Richmond back to Batesville while Adam Israel moves to a all-grain brewhouse in a separate location. Roderick will expand New Boswell’s plant with four more fermenters, in a new location in Richmond, needing concrete floors and all.
  • Another brewery license has been uncovered. The J & J Winery just west of Richmond has a brewery license and their web site says “Brewery Coming Soon – Das Bier “Big Dog” Brewery”.
  • Danger Brew
