18th Street Brewery was founded as a home brewery by Drew Fox in 2010. After years of hands-on learning and exploration, 18th Street Brewery became official with the release of Sinister DIPA in 2013. Shortly after the Sinister release, we opened a 3,200 square foot brewpub in Gary, IN. Quickly outgrowing that space, we purchased a 32,000 square foot warehouse in Hammond, IN. Our Hammond location now houses our production, packaging, barrel program, a taproom and a full service kitchen. Our original Gary, IN now houses a small 10-barrel open fermentation system, as well as a taproom, craft cocktail bar and kitchen.
We are currently the second largest brewery in Northwest Indiana. Our beers range from saisons to double India Pale Ales to double milk stouts to pilsners and lagers. 18th Street is comprised of hard working, motivated individuals who strive to be the best. We love our jobs. We love our beer. We live and love what we do.

hazy golden to orange colour, medium sized dense ecru-ish head; aroma of fruity (peach), pine, grapefruity, slight grape and floral notes; taste is dominated by hoppy bitterness with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma and slight biscuity-syrupy notes; good one

Juicy, sweet, hoppy. Oxidized a bit but in decent shape. Tropical fruit, citrus, a bit resinous. Nice.

Level 6 tasting. Cheers Henrik. Opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Airy palate, decent fine carbonation. Mellow chocolate malts, a little dark malt cream. The cherry comes through on the back end. A bit cherry jam and a little Morello cherry. Light finish. Pleasant but unsophisticated.

Pours a hazy orange with a small off white head. The aroma has some spicy yeast and fruity character. The flavor is lightly tart with spicy saison yeast, malt, and a touch of vague fruit character. I found it a bit bland, honestly. It’s okay.
