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.

355ml can. Dry, sweetish, malty and slightly roasty with some dried fruits, prunes, toffee, syrup, brown sugars and hints of rye, oak and honey, some warming alcohol in the finish. A bit harsh, feels almost like an old ale more than a barley wine.

Hazy yellow pour with a big, dense, lasting head. The aroma is heavy on the citrus with some hop resin underlying it. The flavor is very citrusy, a juicy, malty, mildly bitter brew. Seems like it should be labeled a hazy ipa.
