Consider that half of those are breweries (or meadery, wink) in Indiana and then consider how many have opened within the past five years, and even in the past year! The choices for craft beer in SuperBowl city are amazing and were certainly 'super-amazing' with special tappings at Winterfest 2012.
No way it is possible to mention them all or that it was possible to taste them all but there was great beer. There was plenty of barrel aged beer. GABF award-winning Sun King alone served up a delicious Buffalo Slumber barrel aged Belgian Triple as well as a coffee infused, barrel aged Scotch Ale, plus Buffalo Fest Oktoberfest that had rested 9 months in the barrel.
Unusual offerings included Lafayette Brewing Company's Java Stout with locally roasted beans in a randall.
Fittinly that was one of my first beers.
There were many veterans at Winterfest with John Hill of the Broad Ripple Brew Pub proudly viewing the crowd and reminiscing about beer in Indiana back in 1967!
We will have more to post about Winterfest -- with this post kicking us off.
But from Brugge's lovely single hop Desiderata to lambics from Upland to Monk Juice from the RAM, suffice it to say no one could have gone thirsty!
