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.

0,473 ltr: Dark brown colored brew with an dry bitter taste, hints of nuts, red berries, caramel and citrus. So we get an Indiana tick, barely one because this brewery is close to Chicago.

16 oz can from McGowan and Sons in Valparaiso, Indiana. Pckg on 11/02/23 per bottom of the can. The pour is an inky black, motor oil dark, with a dark khaki ½ inch head that immediately fizzles and falls. The aroma is soft roast char, a bit of fruit sweetness, banana almost and more general caramel malt. The taste is initially the char roast, turns to some sugar cane, a bit of iodine and then finishes bone dry with the char and mineral. The palate is medium bodied, soft carbonation and the bone dry char roast finish. Like one of the other beers I had from here, I would love to try it fresh.

16 oz can that was gifted to me by my friend Tom. The pour is a hazed orange yellow with a big foamy off white head. The aroma is grapefruit and tangerine, fruit sweet and then rind bitterness. along with a bit of cream and vanilla. The taste is the citrus fruit, bright and fresh, softly sweet and is followed by more of a sweet cream, then dries out with the rind bitterness. The palate is unfiltered, medium bodied, soft carbonation and the dry crisp finish. Easy drinking hazy, nice one.

16 oz can from McGowan and Sons in Valparaiso, Indiana. Pckg on 11 15 23 per bottom of the can. The pour is a hazed copper golden with a very lasting one and a half inch foamy white head. The aroma is caramel toasted malt and a touch of floral. Fairly faint. The taste is malty, caramel, a bit of crystal malt iced tea and a whisper of wet cardboard. The hop is mostly generic bitterness. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and a finish of caramel malt and dry floral grass. There is something here, I would love to try it fresh.
