    I heard a rumor that 18th St had a private party yesterday and announced they will no longer have a pub in Gary anymore. And that they will be operating totally out of Hammond, IN by early next year. Anyone else hear anything like that?

    I like going to the current place / location. As long as there's not a bottle release you can park right there, walk right in, and get what you want. Hopefully the new place will be large enough to handle a decent crowd.

    When we stopped at 18th our GPS took us somewhere 5 miles away and it was pretty... rough... The area 18th was really in at the proper location wasn't all that bad. Cool place, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get back there personally.

    The guy who gets lots of press for bringing brewing to Gary.

    You wouldn't think that a city like Gary would be so sand poundingly stupid as to drive away a business like 18th Street...but there it is.

    I heard from a friend that 18th is having a release on or about the weekend of Nov 13th. Anyone have deets?

    The city of Gary didn't exactly smooth the way for 18th Street to open in the first place, but maybe its crapulent politicians don't like businesses shopping around for a better situation somewhere else. A situation that would better than augment their current capabilities. Gary could, just for the sake of argument, make it difficult to expand OR remain comfortable or even viable where they are so...it steps on its dick again. Don't worry about 18th Street.

    Thanks! I just saw a pic of them adding coffee to a batch of Hunter and figured it was going to be that.

    Lol my car gps did something similar last winter. I was driving around some neighbor hood wondering where the hell I was. I asked a guy shoveling his driveway where 18th street was. He pointed me in the right direction but then told me I was actually just outside Drews house!!

    Yeah... Eric Hobbs said he was going to make sure this release was organized and fair. I think getting boo'd opens your eyes to true FIBdom.

    Looks like BA Hunter is coming out on the 13th so they are releasing something.

    I got some info today about 18th and there move to Hammond, in. I guess they are hoping to open up the Hammond location in Febuary 2016. They will have a brewpub and kitchen. They are not real sure when they will be opening their new Gary pub. I just hope they don't close the current Gary brewpub to the new one in Gary opens.
