Strange things sometime happen when you return to your hometown. There used to be two breweries in our hometown – one that opened back in the early 90’s and the other a couple of years ago. Sadly, both are now closed but we found a real gem about 20 minutes south in a town no one expected. We decided to make it a stop in our RV on the way out of town since they were part of the Harvest Host network where you can camp for free as long as you patronize the business. Boy did we patronize them with the puchase of several 4-packs to-go (including some fruited sours!) and got a lasting impression we will never forget. It started with all the great beers then the friendly, ex-state trooper Mike, owner and brewmaster who made us feel so welcome and allowed us to use the dog play area even after closing. Then, we ran into an old co-worker couple from LaPorte Hospital, Ron and Marcia Carlson. They both worked there during my 20-year tenure. The best beer on the menu was the Intoxicated Pedestrian which was a nod to Mike’s law enforcement days. But the real winner was the canned visitor fruited sours from Indiana Brewing. Who woulda thought?!?!
