Dribs and Drabs - Oct. 7

Maybe only down south they've noticed the new Salt Creek Brewery north of Bedford. It's a sandwich-and-stuff brewpub on old Ind 37. Music a couple of days each week. A back porch that looks like a wonderful outdoor bar. The beer list online has Junk Yard Dog Stout, Black Dog Scotish Pub Ale, The Recipe Belgian Saison, Out Of Order IPA, Needmore Cream Ale, Ole Swampy Nut Brown and Colonel Klink German Brown Alt.

Hobart has a brewery in planning. Devil’s Trumpet Brewing Co. will be in a warehouse about 2 miles east of I-65 on US-30 (Merrillville exit). article
