The Pour House

You’ll ﬁ nd history and only Hoosier-made brews at Tomlinson Tap Room, the biggest cheerleader of Indiana’s craft-beer boom. BY BRENT GLASGOW

HEN TOMLINSON TAP Room opened in 2010 inside Indianapolis’s City Market, there were around 30 breweries in Indiana, and the W state’s roster of top-notch beers was brief. A little over ﬁ ve years and 90 breweries later, that list is now extensive, and Tom Tap delivers the best of the best to its clientele. With 19 taps dedicated to Indiana craft beer, which rotate when a keg runs dry, Tom Tap manager Benjamin Hunt has the enviable task of choosing which brews make the cut. Tomlinson “It takes a lot of market research,” he says. “Honestly, it’s Tap Room’s antique bar drinking a whole lot of beer.” Through a partnership spawned in 2009, Tom Tap is 82 percent owned by the city-controlled market and 18 percent by “We want to give everybody a .. the Brewers of Indiana Guild.

Hunt, who has been there since the beginning, stocks beer based on taste trends and a balance of styles. With Indiana breweries consistently earning honors at the prestigious World Beer Cup and more national respect, competition is tight. “We want to give everybody a shot, but it’s tough with the quality being so high now,” Hunt says. “We want to put the best and the brightest on tap.” Since Tom Tap’s opening, the beer isn’t the only thing to have evolved. “People know their beer better now,” Hunt says. “You’ve seen palates change, and that’s awesome. It means we’re doing our job, making people try new things. “Don’t drink beer because it’s local. Drink it because it’s good.” While not surprised, the English-born Hill is pleased with Indiana’s embrace of craft beer, a term few knew when he opened in Broad Ripple 26 years ago this November. “It’s great to see everyone as excited as I was when I started out,” Hill says. For evening visitors Tuesdays through Saturdays, Circle City Soups, the only other market business open that late, supplies food in the form of soups, yes, but also entrees such as meatloaf and fi sh and chips. With more residential units popping up nearby, combined with Tom Tap’s popularity and potential, don’t be surprised if City Market becomes more of a night spot. “If not for the tap room, right now we’d be trying to fi gure out how to stay open until 6 or 7 p.m.,” Stoesz says. “Now, we’re trying to fi gure out how to bring throngs of people in until at least 9, and maybe 11 or midnight.” +

In Good Taste

Spices, fruits, coffee—there’s no shortage of clever additions to enliven craft beers. BY ROB ANNIS

HE BEAUTY OF CRAFT BEER IS that the range of ﬂ avors is seemingly only limited by brewers’ creativity. Luckily, most Hoosier brewmasters have overactive imaginations, releasing T beers with far more than just the standard components. Some ingredients—if you can call them that—aren’t even edible. Take, for example, St. John Malt Brothers’ El Cedron, a Citra hops–based IPA that’s aged on Spanish cedar. “The aroma is like you’re smelling a humidor,” says brewery president and owner Jim Estry. “The citrus still comes through, and so does the cedar. It’s surprisingly smooth.” Here are more delicious and unique microbrews that craft-beer aﬁ cionados can’t get enough of.

THAI SPICES They’re not just for curry. Both Chris Gerard, owner and head brewer at Bare Hands Brewery, and Greg Ortwein, co-owner and co-brewer at Deviate Brewing, infused their beers with the exotic fl avors. Ortwein used lemongrass grown from a customer’s backyard, Thai basil, and ginger in Devi- ate’s Legalize Lemongrass brew, while Gerard infused locally sourced kafi r lime leaf, lemongrass, galangal (Thai ginger), rice, and palm sugar into an IPA to create Thai.P.A. “I was and am a big fan of the full but balanced fl avors of Thai food and had some experience cooking it at home,” Gerard says. “The idea going in was to focus on citrus Thai spices—letting the citrus fl avor and aroma be balanced by large additions of a more fl oral, less aggressive hop bill. On the fi rst taste, I knew that I had something that people would really enjoy. I made only some minor tweaks to the spice bill and hop schedule,

20 DrinkIN / 2016 and that’s about it.” Thai.P.A. is quite popular, so it can sell out fairly quickly; once a fresh keg is tapped, word gets out fast. Gerard suggests keeping an eye on Bare Hands’ website (barehandsbrew.com) and its Facebook page for their delivery lists. Ortwein says Legalize Lemongrass is especially favored by local foodies who enjoy bold ﬂ avors, and it pairs exceptionally well with the crispy Thai chicken wings from a restaurant across the street from Deviate. Unfortunately, the brew isn’t always available, as the brewery’s eight taps constantly rotate.

HONEY Looking for a beer that’s a little sweet and light on the IBUs? Try one with honey. Crown Brewing’s Winter Warlock is a Thanksgiving-to- Valentine’s Day seasonal (hence the name) that includes traditional cold-weather fl avors—cinnamon, candied ginger, cloves, and nutmeg, as well as maple syrup and honey from within Lake County. Zack Bryan, Crown’s general manager, says they’re hopeful the next batch will include honey from the brewery’s own beehives. Combined with the English malt and hops, Win- ter Warlock gives you a slightly spicy and malty mouthfeel. Honey Blonde from Turoni’s Main Street Brewery has been one of its more popular brews since it was fi rst tapped 20 years ago. A full-fl avored English blonde ale with a malt-forward fl avor, Honey Blonde’s sweetness comes from wildfl ower honey from Darmstadt, Indiana, less than a mile from where head brewer Josh Pietrowski grew up. Each batch uses 45 pounds of the honey, but luckily, the area’s bees must know they have a responsibility to Evansville’s craft-beer fans. “In the craft sector, most people want what’s new, what was just tapped, or something they haven’t had before,” Pietrowski says. “But that’s not the case with Honey Blonde. A huge chunk of our clientele sticks with the Honey Blonde, do or die.”

PEPPERS/PEPPERCORNS Triton Brewing Company co-founder and head brewer Jon Lang was inspired by another microbrewery’s pepper IPA and, with their permission, he attempted his own take. After several months of experimentation with various strains of peppers from Fort Wayne and Wisconsin marinated in Triton’s fl agship, Railsplitter, he came up with what would become Hatchblower Pepper IPA. Lang used three diff erent dried peppers—green bell peppers for their crisp fl avor, jalapenos for even more fl avor and heat, and chipotles for needed earthiness. “I don’t want this beer to overwhelm you with the heat of the pepper,” Lang says. “The fruitiness of the peppers plays really nicely with the hops of the IPA and then fi nishes with a little heat on the back of your tongue.” Function Brewing’s Obtuse Imperial Spiced Blonde has a lingering malt sweetness, thanks to orange and lemon peel, and a dash of spiciness courtesy Sichuan peppercorns, says brewer and co-owner Steve Llewellyn. Though the beer isn’t yet available outside of the brewpub, it pairs well with Function’s

Brewers of Indiana Guild / drinkIN.beer 21 FRUIT St. John Malt Brothers’ Estry is not exactly a “fruit beer” kind of guy, but even he has to concede their Hesperidium is pretty good. The IPA is made with blood orange puree, which, combined with the hops, gives the brew an intense citrus aroma. “Our ratings on that have been higher than any other beer we have,” he says. St. John’s O’Cocorazz features pro- nounced fl avors of raspberry, and its popular Daphne, a blonde cherry ale, is back this summer. A recent batch packed in more than 120 pounds of the fruit. “It’s a very easy-to-drink beer,” Estry says. “It doesn’t have a bitter bite at the end.” Winterfest 2016 attendees loved Madame Blueberry from Carson’s Brewery—so much so that it was the fi rst of their seven kegs to run out at the event. Head brewer John Mills says the beer, which gets its fl avor from natural blueberry extract, was created as a one-off , but has been so popular in their Evansville tasting room that they’ve brought it back several times since. Mills enjoys Madame Blueberry mixed with Carson’s Omnipotent, a Russian Imperial Stout.

COFFEE Craft-beer fans often share an obsession with coff ee, so it’s no wonder java-infused beers are so popular. Scott Ellis, co-owner and brewmaster at Big Lug Canteen, uses freshly roasted Costa Rican beans from Indianapolis’s The Coff ee Brake to make his robust EuRica! stout.
