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.

The beer is yellow shaded with orange. It is topped with a white head of thick foam that fades to rocky peaks. The liquid is very cloudy. Big fruity saison aroma. Tons of pineapple with gentle tangerine and mango. Crisp lime cuts across it all. Mild fresh pale malt sweetness. Taste is light and fruity. Lots of tropical notes. No idea if they’re from the yeast or hops. Bitterness is mild. It’s on the sweet side. I’d probably prefer it a bit drier, but it’s already quite nice. Everything is gentle and easy to like. Feel is soft and full, very easy to put down. This is a really nice saison. I’m very happily surprised.
