Southern Indiana holds more than a few secrets and natural wonders. Among them is the Lost River with 23 of its 85 miles underground. Rising in Washington County, the river flows for miles until the stream turns dry as it vanishes into the limestone to form subterranean caverns, many of which remain unexplored. Another natural wonder is our version of the Lost River, a crisp, refreshing summer ale with spicy hop notes and a thick white foamy head. One taste and it’s no mystery how Lost River can make any thirst disappear on any occasion. Description lightest and easiest drinking beer. Brewed entirely with pilsner malt. Hop character is of the noble variety, leaving a light to medium “spicy” bitterness. A balanced beer, light bodied and lager like interpretation of a bohemian pilsner. If this beer were lagered, it would be a classic bohemian pilsner.
In tribute we present our bold Empire Imperial Stout, black as night and pouring with a thick tan head. It starts with an espresso-like, malt flavor and finishes smooth and slightly sweet from the addition of molasses in the brewing processs. Like standing at the top of a 102-story skyscraper, Empire is rewarding but not for the faint of heart.
Years ago whilst pierced the air and the ground literally shook from the power steam. The Monon Railroad helped propel Indiana’s economy from 1897 – 1956 and earned its name from the convergence of its four main routes in Monon, Indiana. From Monon, the mainlines reached Chicago, Louisville, Indianapolis, Michigan City, and most towns in between.
