It took more than a few long, hard years of working out the formula for Drew Fox to bring his home brewing passion from the garage to the streets of Indiana. While the project that was 18th Street began in 2010, it wasn’t until 2013 that the first official release hit the shelves. But the first release was the starting pistol for a brewery that quickly went into major production, leaping from a small brewpub to a massive warehouse in a handful of years and spreading sweet craft beer across the state. 18th Street now sports 8 year-round beers along with special releases and a tasting room putting out custom beers. The #2 Pencil is a Double IPA that’s Double hopped for a massive kick of juicy tropical flavour that evolves on the palate. Serves well at 8°C and you should get into it as soon as possible.
