Sun King Brewery Opens Specialty Production Brewery in Fishers

February 6, 2020 by Andrew Innes

INDIANAPOLIS – Sun King Brewery, a leader in the independent craft beer and spirits movements in Indiana, is excited to celebrate the opening of its new 13,000-square-foot Sun King Fishers Tap Room & Brewery – a specialty production craft brewery and tap room at Fishers District in Fishers, Indiana.

Sun King Fishers customers will be able to taste and purchase a wide variety of Sun King’s core, seasonal and specialty beers, along with spirits produced by Sun King Spirits in Carmel, on each of the brewery’s two levels, including a 3,000-square-foot rooftop patio. Carry-out beer will also be available for purchase. The entire facility will be family friendly for all ages, with the exception of the bar areas. The brewery will also include rental space for private and community events.

Awarded with a variety of national and international medals for producing specialty and unique brews like Getting By On Central Time, Eis Nine, Midnight Choir and Gran Muckle – all of which took home medals at the Great American Beer Festival in 2019, Sun King’s new brewery will focus on developing handcrafted, distinctive specialty beers that continue to experiment with different ingredients, styles and methods. Sun King’s further expansion is in part thanks to changes, spearheaded by Sun King and Three Floyds, in Indiana’s legislature in 2015 that increased barrelage limits for small breweries in the state. Sun King’s new Fishers brewery will be capable of producing approximately 5,000 barrels of beer per year.

“One of the many things that makes Sun King Brewery special is our commitment to continually experimenting with new ingredients and techniques to create new, delicious, quality beers,” said Clay Robinson, co-founder of Sun King Brewery. “Our new Sun King Fishers Brewery, coupled with the Fishers Test Kitchen, brings together a fantastic collaboration of local, entrepreneurial Hoosiers creating innovative, delicious beer and food at Fishers District.”

Sun King’s new Fishers location will be adjacent to the Fishers Test Kitchen, which is a partnership between the City of Fishers and Launch Fishers to develop burgeoning chefs and bring new restaurant concepts to the City of Fishers. The Fishers Test Kitchen will feature three kitchens and food stalls that are open to the public and offer an amenity to Sun King’s guests. Current restaurant concepts include:

Korave Korean BBQ: South Korean brothers Jung Gyu Kim and Jung Min Kim will offer Korean barbeque with a North American twist. Customers can order Korean pork, chicken and beef rice bowls and Korean tacos, nachos and poutine, among other items.

Lil Dumplings: Chef Carlos Salazar’s (chef/partner at Indianapolis’ Rook) global street food menu offers dishes with culinary ties from the Philippines to Greece, the U.S. to Japan. Menu items include an Oyaki cheesesteak dumpling, Szechuan hot chicken steamed bun, falafel and lobster corn dog fritters.

Natural State Provisions: Indianapolis’ King Dough Pizza owners Adam and Alicia Sweet will offer Southern comfort food, including fried chicken, root beer-braised pork, the McSunKing breakfast sandwich, salads and collard greens.

“Sun King’s new Fishers Brewery and the Fishers Test Kitchen are an exciting addition to the Fishers District,” said Fisher’s Mayor, Scott Fadness. “We’re excited to welcome entrepreneurial businesses like Sun King Brewery and the chefs at Fishers Test Kitchen that are fueling the growth of the City of Fishers, which will attract residents and visitors, alike.”

The Sun King Brewery at Fishers District is located at 116th Street and IKEA Way. Hours of operation are 11am – 10pm, Sunday – Thursday; 11am – 12am, Friday – Saturday.

Sun King’s brewers hand craft core, seasonal and specialty beers that have been awarded with dozens of medals at the Great American Beer Festival, World Beer Cup, Festival of Barrel Aged Beers and the Indiana Brewers Cup competitions. Sun King takes great pride in partnering with hundreds of community organizations throughout the places where its beer is sold to help them raise awareness and funds for great causes.

Norwich Inn and Brewery-Norwich, Vermont

February 6, 2020 by Dustin Scoggins

Brew Master Patrick Dakin is proud to welcome you to the Brewery at the Norwich Inn, home of Jasper Murdock Ales. Our Ales have won 4 silver and a gold medal in the last 3 years at the Great International Beer Competition.

Norwich Inn VermontPresident James Monroe dined at the Norwich Inn in 1817 while on a horseback tour of the New England frontier. Alas, history does not record whether he had a beer. But if he did, it was most likely brewed at the Inn. Vermont had no commercial breweries at the time, and the local beers were brewed in very small batches. Even the biggest copper kettle provided just enough ale for the brewer and his guests.

In 1993, this Vermont brewery tradition was revived at the Norwich Inn when Jasper Murdock’s Alehouse began producing traditional English-style ales in 5-gallon glass jugs. By 1995, an historic livery building was renovated and outfitted with a new four-barrel brew house, enabling 125-gallon batches. Though the vessels are now larger, we remain perhaps the smallest brewery in America. Jasper Murdock’s Ales are sold only at the Norwich Inn and you can take some home. Bottled brew is available by the 22 ounce bottle, by the case, or by the 5 gallon keg.

Jasper Murdock’s Ales are crafted from fine English malts, with hops grown in England and in our own hop garden at the Inn. Because filtration can strip flavor and body from a beer, the ale yeast is allowed to settle out naturally in an extended cold-aging period to ensure that all the goodness reaches your palate. The beer is then pumped underground from the beer cellars to our pub at the Inn.

Jasper Murdock’s Ales
Of the many styles we rotate at the beer taps, we usually have at least 2 of these four for takeout by the bottle or the case:

Whistling Pig Red Ale
Inspired by an Irish classic. Garnet-red in color with a rounded malty flavor and a lingering hop aftertaste.

Old Slipperyskin India Pale Ale
A strong amber ale, full bodied, with a hearty hop flavor and a pronounced hop finish.

Stackpole Porter
A dark ale style dating back to the 1700’s. Roasted malt lends chocolate and coffee-like flavors and aromas.

Second Wind Oatmeal Stout
This black ale has the characteristic flavor of dark roasted barley, the sweetness of caramel malt, a full body contributed by oatmeal, and an intense but balanced hop flavor.

Other styles served on tap at Jasper Murdock’s Alehouse
Jasper Murdock’s Extra Special Bitter
Fuggle & Barleycorn
Oh Be Joyful
Last Pick Pale Ale
Dr. Bowles’ Elixir
Jasper Murdock’s Private Stock
Famous Sidekick
Two Patrick Stout
Sweet Barley

Brewery Creek Inn – Bed and Breakfast, Brewpub & Brewery – Mineral Point, Wisconsin

February 3, 2020 by Dustin Scoggins

 

Brewery Creek InnHere is the three story lime stone building on Commerce Street. Brewery Creek Inn has five rooms located above the Brewpub Restaurant. Two on the second floor and three on the third. While the amenities are the similar, each has it’s own personality and appeal. Which room is best? That is for you to discover.

In the morning they serve a “Continental plus” breakfast in our second floor guest lounge. This is a simple casual breakfast offering coffee, tea, fruit, juice, yogurt, cereal, toasting bread, hard boiled eggs and really good sweets! Coffee is available as early as you need and we bring the breakfast out at 8:30 AM. It will be out until 9:30 or 10:00. Your holiday. Your pace.

Brewery
Their brewery is a modern, 15-barrel brew house capable of making up to 3,000 barrels of beer per year. They can make ales or lagers, but mostly it has been ales, which tend to have a more complex flavor profile. They can use a simple one step infusion mash, or more elaborate multi-temperature steps.

Brewpub Restaurant
The Brewery Creek Brewpub is an intimate space with exposed stone walls, hand hewn timbers and beams, supporting posts and a beautiful bar. You will not find another like it. We seat about 50 including our bar seats. Our kitchen closes by 8:00 or 8:30, depending on the day of the week, to ensure quiet by 10:00 for our lodging guests.

Beers
Golden Ale
A golden ale, light in color, patterned after the “Kolsch” beer of Cologne. Moderately hopped and refreshing and about 5% abv. Our lightest beer.

India Pale Ale
Huge amounts of hops both bittering ion the kettle and flavor in the fermenter. The problem with most modern “IPAs” is that they have lots of hops, but no age. Traditionally IPAs were at least a year old before consumption. Ours is about 6 months. During that time the hops undergoa change, mellowing.

Lemon Shandy
A classic drink of the British Islanders, beer and lemonade. Alth0ugh the modern Brits and Ausies use Seven up (gasp!) we are more traditional with the ‘ol lemonade and some lime. Sweetish, and sourish, and beery and refreshing. When the last keg of Summer is gone, no more till Spring.

Pale Ale
It is a Pale Ale, everybody knows what that means, yeah? Good amount of hop bitterness, no dry hopping. American hops.

Scottish Porter
This porter is based on a recipe from the Caledonian Brewery in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Mcmenamins Old St Francis School Hotel, Pub, Theater and Brewery in Bend, Oregon

February 2, 2020 by Dow Scoggins

The Old St. Francis School, conveniently located in the center of downtown Bend, has undergone a transformation from 1936 Catholic schoolhouse to lively destination hotel complete with classrooms-turned-lodging rooms, a pub, brewery and bakery, a movie theater, private meeting and event space and a truly fantastic soaking pool that beckons day travelers, shoppers, hikers, skiers and snowboarders alike.

This school offers 19 richly appointed guestrooms and four individual rental cottages with room for 2 to 10 people, perfect for group getaways. Old St. Francis School reopened in its current capacity in November 2004 and we honor the property’s former life by featuring extensive artwork that pays homage to the history of the school and the surrounding community.

Photos, memorabilia and students’ artwork adorn the walls, making the hotel a unique gallery of sorts. Take special note of the colorful orbs that punctuate the high wooden fencing around the property, the unusual custom-made light fixtures and absolutely stunning tile mosaics that surround the soaking pool.

The Old St. Francis Pub
Open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the pub’s deep booths and original artwork make for a comfortable spot to linger over any meal. Set in the former Catholic school’s main building, the pub offers hearty pub fare, handcrafted ales brewed right downstairs in the onsite brewery and seasonal weekly specials.

On warm days, guests can sit in the outside courtyard to enjoy their food and drinks al fresco. Or perhaps order some pizza to go for a picnic anywhere. Call (541) 382-5174 for pizza to go orders.

Old St. Francis School Brewery
The onsite brewery opened as part of the rejuvenated Old St. Francis School in 2004. Once the basement lunchroom of the former Catholic school, the area has been transformed to facilitate the creation of the handcrafted ales St. Francis’ patrons have come to know and admire. The brewery’s fermentation tanks are decorated with fantastical designs of mystical creatures and fairy-like imps.

Head Brewer Mike “Curly” White has been the resident brewer here since 2006, and his fine beers such as Father D’s Kolsch, Parson Brown & Gunslinger Pale Ale are all proven recipes savored by house regulars and those travelers passing through alike. During the summer months Curly is ably assisted by his unmistakably red-bearded Assistant Brewer Kevin Connell.

Old St. Francis Theater
Tucked away in the former parish hall of the old Catholic school is a place much more comfortable to sit than a hard wooden pew. The Old St. Francis School Theater, with seating for up to 150, offers visitors the chance to settle into an overstuffed chair or sofa and watch a recent release, cult classic or sporting event while enjoying a slice of pizza and a handcrafted McMenamins ale.

The Old St. Francis Theater offers pizza, snacks and, of course, popcorn. The full-service bar offers a wide variety of liquid refreshments to quench your thirst including McMenamins own handcrafted ales, wines and spirits. So sit back, relax on our cozy couches and chairs and take in all that the big screen has to offer.
