Here are some candid (and a few posed) shots we took in the midst of the Brewers Guild of Indiana's Winterfest 2014. We had a blast meeting new and old brewers, friends, and supporters. The team was busy from the start until we ran out of beer. We brought down our Moonwalk Double IPA, Lake Street Express Session Pale, Hunter Double Milk Stout, and had a special Winterfest release of Hunter with Coffee. We also had the honor of being on tap with Oskar Blues, Flat 12 Bierwerks, 3 Floyds, and De Struise Brouwers at La Margarita's (of the Fountain Square neighborhood in Indianapolis) 'The Great Cerveza Fiesta of 2014'. Get in there, they have a fantastic tap selection, a great history, and delicious food!
Winterfest 2014...it was PACKED!

Got to stop by Fountain Square Brewery and check out their bottling machine- one of the oldest still working in the world! Thing is awesome!

We're happy to welcome Kentucky-based Joan Shelley, along with West Virginia based Jonathan Glen Wood to 18th Street Brewery for an in-taproom performance.
A little about the musicians:
'Joan Shelley is a Kentucky-based singer and songwriter who records and tours with several different projects. Shelley's songs are foxy; they're canny and cunning. But when they've all played through, what's left is a startling feeling of one big thing, something that "stands like a ginkgo tree — tall, strong, and wise." That big thing is Joan Shelley'. -(paraphrased from) Nathan Salsburg
Hailing from the mountains of West Virginia with a heritage of hard luck miners and horse traders, Jonathan Glen Wood's music falls somewhere between the front porch and the barroom.
Admission is free. We will start at 6pm. 21 and over only please.
