Fort Wayne/New Haven Events/Updates - July 18

It is GREAT seeing more and more beer events taking place in Fort Wayne as more and more people are taking the leap into trying microbrewed beers and liking them!!  Having said that, I met up with a friend last week who was not extremely familiar with microbrews and my friend started sampling like there was no tomorrow!  After all was said and done, my friend not only ended up drinking not one, but two of the Flat 12 Moustache Rider beers, and wants to get together soon and go to a couple of beer establishments in downtown Fort Wayne!  It just goes to show that one doesn't know unless one tries!!

Old Crown Coffee Roasters - April 16

I recently visited Old Crown Coffee Roasters in Fort Wayne not for coffee mind you because I am not a coffee drinker, but because I have been hearing about the good craft beer selection that is available there. You read correct. They have beer to drink there and beer is available for carryout and a nice selection I must say. According to the beer list I was given, they currently have beers from Tyranena, Mad Anthony, Eel River, Founders, Jolly Pumpkin, Left Hand, Stone, Anchor, Red Hook, Sierra Nevada, Cantillon, Bass, Boddington's, Fullers, Samuel Smith, Guinness, Hofbrau, Weihenstephaner and more just to give you and idea of the beer list and to name a "few". Typically, they add something new every week to their beer list. Besides serving beer, they have full bar service, food, and of course their coffees. This is a kid friendly establishment. Their website is www.oldcrown.com. They are also on Facebook at www.facebook.com/oldcrown and on Twitter at www.twitter.com/oldcrown. This establishment is located at 3417 No. Anthony Blvd. The phone # is (260)422-5282. Currently their hours are: M-Th (7a.m.-8p.m.),
Fri. (7a.m.-10p.m.), Sat. (8a.m.-10p.m.), and Sun. (8a.m.-6p.m.). I was told that the hours may be changing, so you may want to call them to be sure they are open.

Tyranena Beers in Fort Wayne - April 13

These beers are being delivered this afternoon at Acme on East State, S and V on Dupont Rd. and at Old Crown Coffee Roasters on No. Anthony. If they become available at other places, I will write another blog as to where.
