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.

Good beer and old football games with Mads. Jet black with a small but lasting tan head. Aroma of coffee beans and chocolate with faint hints of ash and soy sauce. Sweet roasted flavour with a pleasant coffee character. Better balanced than the regular Hunter, I think for a change, the coffee actually helps the beer

Good beer and old football games with Mads. Jet black with a small, but lasting tan head. Aroma of sweet chocolate and coffee, wwith a touch of charcoal and soy sauce. Very sweet roasted flavour with chocolate, coffee, licorice, ink and ash. A little too hard roasted and also too sweet for my taste

Poured from a 22 oz bottle; thanks Adam! Aroma has quite a bit of maltiness to it with hints of toasted bread, nuts and caramel. Aroma has a strong grapefruit character with hints of pine and a light melon and tropical fruit note. Hops do not necessarily work well with the malt. Pours a hazy, copper orange with a small thin white head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a medium light malt character with some caramel, light toasted bread and faint nuttiness and medium light sweetness. Moderately strong bitterness with medium light hop character. Moderate citrus character with faint tropical fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice double pale ale (whatever that means). I found it a but too malty for the citra hops though and more bitter than I was expecting. As it warms the hop character becomes more noticeable and the bitterness mellows. The aroma is still a little off though.

Pitch black, tiny alcohol legions head though. Lots of coffee nose but it’s not overwhelming, maybe actually faded, sweeter finish than expected and a lot of milk chocolate. an interesting beer but missing some complexity

Pitch black oily, no head. Smells very sweet, loads of chocolate in the nose. some peanut? walnut? Very creamy loads of lactose from start to a long lingering sweet creamy finish (did I just write that?) anyway, not too roasty but has all of the qualities you’d expect in am imperial stout. there is a dark fruit like figs with walnut in here as well.

Thanks to AdamJackson! 650 ml. bottle sampled @ Sanne’s birthday tasting. Oily black with no head. Nose is thick coffee roast, lots of roasted coffee. Thick lightly sweetish coffee taste, sugar, light grass, quite sweet but nowhere as thick as RIS’s tend to be, chocolate, faint roast. Med. body. Pretty decent but not with much finesse or depth.
