Description
18th Street Brewery in Hammond, IN is a brewpub, taproom, and bottle shop. We specialize in hand-crafted big, small, barrel-aged and even sour beers.
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.

Fruchtig süßer, erkennbar alkoholisch hopfiger Antrunk. Milde Herbe, blumig. Geringe Karbonisierung, der Hopfen kommt so besser zur Geltung. Leicht nach Honig, zum Ende bitterer, hell würzig. Gut! 11/12/12/12/9/12

Waxed bottle pours with a deep dark brown body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma is huge with cinnamon and coffee and then a good load of dark roasted malts where there’s a pretty nice chocolate note hanging around at the end of the draw. The taste starts with an even yet bold mix of cinnamon and coffee that barrel into some dark roasted malts, sweetened burnt malts and a pleasing dose of chocolate. On the palate this comes across kind of thin but in no way is this thin on flavor. Cool brew.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle. Aroma is full of milk chocolate and lactose with a light roast and vanilla character. Hints of dark fruit. Pours black with a small, fairly thin, dark mocha head that recedes quickly to the edges where a small film lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is rather sweet and lactose forward with a lot of milk chocolate along with some bitter, dark chocolate. Medium light vanilla character. Light roast with moderate bitterness and faint dark fruit notes. Hints of alcohol. Mouthfeel is full bodied and creamy with medium low carbonation. Low to medium low astringency and low to medium low carbonation. Overall, an alright beer but I am not very impressed by it. I find the astringency and bitterness off putting and the vanilla is not very noticeable. The finish just isn’t creamy and sweet like I would expect from the beer.
