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.

Bottle thanks to Ben H. It pours deep amber with a small white head. The nose is rich, piney, resinous, candied orange peel, orange muffin and marmalade. The taste is bitter, varnish, pine, leather, piney, oily, mild astringency and mild alcohol with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and oily fine carbonation. Pretty nice stuff.

Bottle bought @ The Mikkeller Webshop. Pours oily pitch black with a rather thin dark mocha head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is sweet and malty with roasted malts, dark roast coffee with milk, burnt wood, toffee, vanilla fudge, moist soil, hay, caramel and hints of brown sugar. Taste is sweet, bitter, very tiny sour and malty with roasted malts, burnt grains, dark roast coffee, bitter chocolate, vanilla fudge, toffee, burnt caramel, burnt cookies, hay, moist soil, burnt wood and hints of chocolate milkshake. Mouthfeel is soft, velvety, round, tiny roasted astringent and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet, bitter and malty with roasted malts, biscuits, toffee, dark roast coffee, bitter chocolate, chocolate milkshake, burnt wood, hay and burnt caramel. Very tasty but the coffee kind of hides the base beer brining down the rating ever so slightly…

Bomber bought @ The Mikkeller Webshop. Pours oily pitch black with a thin dark mocha head that leaves a small trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is slightly sweet, malty and tiny fruity with roasted malts, burnt grains, toffee, bilberry jam, ripe blackberries, dark chocolate, dark roast coffee, sweet liquorice candy, hay and hints of chocolate covered cherries. Taste is slightly sweet, slightly bitter, very tiny sour, malty and slightly fruity with heavily roasted malts, burnt grains, toffee, vanilla fudge, bilberry icecream, dark chocolate, dark roast coffee, hay and hints of burnt wood. Mouthfeel is round, soft, slightly viscous, slightly astringent and medium to full bodied. Finish is tiny sweet, slightly bitter, malty and slightly fruity with roasted malts, dark chocolate, sugar topped bilberries in milk, dark roast coffee, burnt wood, toffee, vanillin and hints of alcohol and hay. Unique, intriguing and really very tasty… Prominent lactose and heavy roast makes a billberry and chocolate ice cream stout.

Bottle from Mikkeller Online Shop. Amber, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, white head. Aroma of grapefruit, peach, berries, biscuit. Taste with about the same aromas in the beginning, quickly merging into a dry grapefruit bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium, oily, with a medium carbonation and it finishes with dry bitter grapefruit. Not bad. The hop and malt aromas are really tasty and in a great balance, but the grapefruit is a bit too dominant for my liking, so that it quickly overlaps the great hop bill. A really refreshing and fruity DIPA nonetheless.
