So I was looking up the address of a brewery in Indianapolis and saw a search result with 'Sun King Brewery' and 'Indianapolis' in the description. The brewery is the dream child of two Indiana brewers who worked at downtown breweries (Ram/Rock Bottom). I have had their beer before, but did not realize they were the ones who made the beer. There is some extreme talent brewing this beer that's for sure.I think I will absolutely love this brewery since there was a blog that mentioned that they have Belgian Saison and wheat beers.1 I will be totally psyched to have a Saison brewed consistently in Indy (esp if its commercially sold).
The brewery is not yet open, but has started brewing beer from their 15 BBL system. BBL? A BBL is 'barrel' unit of liquid measure (Volumes). A US barrel is 31 gallons (117.3 litres) while a UK barrel is 36 gallons (163.7 litres). BBL used in a sentence: "Rodney Farva's litrecola was actually 0.008525 BBL's of cola"1
Everyone needs to make sure that if they see this beer on the menu, order before they get a non-local beer and if they don't have it, ask the bar to order from this company. That is the kind of stuff that creates a following like Fat Tire has. I would love people to throw parties and stuff when an Indy brew is finally served in their state.
