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.

650ml bottle. Black colour, ruby red glimmer, with small, frothy to creamy, rapidly fading, tan head. Intense chocolately aroma, chocolate sirop. Taste is moderately sweet, extreme chocolately, chocolate sirop-like, a touch of vanilla. Rich and heavy, simultaneously condensed and almost a bit monotonous.

Can. Pours pretty hazy orange, large white head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is a pleasant mix of citra hops, grass, hay, black peppercorn and light funk. Flavor is pretty interesting. Light plus sweet, light bitter, some funk. Lots of belgian yeast character, with its characteristic grassy peppery notes, some basement flavors, citra brings a dank tropical fruitiness, some lemon/lime present as well. Medium body, high carbonation, this is pretty darn good for me.

Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours a very dark brown with small off white head. The aroma is strong vanilla, wood, marshmellow. Medium mouthfeel with strong vanilla, marshmellow, sweet finish, very good.
