Figure 8 Brewing has already outgrown their brewery in Valparaiso and looking to move into the downtown area. At least that's what all the rumors say.
We'll let STL Hops provide the Great Taste of the Midwest pictures since we weren't there.

Bob,
No rumor they purchased space a while ago.
I had it in a column about a month ago.
Hmm, does this mean Shelton is back in Indiana?
Would this be downtown Valpo, or downtown Indy? Only "downtown" was specified...
A) Sorry Tom, Sorry Scott.
C) Downtown Valparaiso. See Scott Bort's article at http://posttrib.suntimes.com/entertainment/bort/6090336-452/figure-eight-has-a-great-new-ale.html
B) Many Shelton imports are at Keg's web site. That and the following from May at Naptown Beer http://naptownbeer.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/shelton-bros-not-pulling-out-of-indiana/ convinced me there for a second that they were back. Rats.
