Breweries

Black Swan Brew Pub Is No Ugly Duckling

by ammagan September 4, 2011

When I hear the words “brew pub,” I think bar food.  Wings, fries, nachos and cheese. That’s what I expected when I was invited to bring some friends with me to dinner at the Black Swan Brew Pub in Plainfield, Indiana.  That’s what I expected when we walked inside and saw the comfortable but not [...]

by ammagan August 29, 2011

If the Penrod Arts Fair is Indiana’s Nicest Day, then Dig-IN is definitely Indiana’s Tastiest Day. This year’s Dig-IN took place yesterday at the White River State Park in Indianapolis. Tickets were $20 in advance and $30 at the door, though I received two complimentary tickets so I could review the event for this blog. [...]

What You’ll Eat at Dig-IN on August 28

by erikdeckers August 17, 2011

I hate food blogs. I hate food books. I hate food magazine articles. It’s not because they’re boring or awful or the people who write them are mean to their mothers. It’s because I want to eat the thing the writer is describing, and I can’t, because it’s just words on a page or computer [...]

Dig-IN to Indiana’s Best Local Food This August

by nwiltrout August 6, 2011

This summer, I’ve made it a goal to use more locally grown food when I cook at home. I subscribe to a CSA box from Double Oak Farm here in Columbus, Indiana and I visit farmer’s markets regularly. We grow some darn good food around the state, I’m proud to report! I recently had the chance [...]

So it’s a perfect time to explore some new restaurants and expand your culinary horizons by heading to the “midtown” area of Indianapolis for the Chow Down Midtown specials. Running now through [...]

American Craft Beer Week: Upland Brewing Company

by nwiltrout May 18, 2011

I recently learned that it’s American Craft Beer Week. Specialty beers are becoming quite a food trend these days. Perhaps it’s even moved beyond a trend and has entered the realm of classic. Either way, it’s an adult delight that can be enjoyed around the state, where you’ll find many wonderful breweries. One of my favorites, [...]

by jwtourism May 17, 2011

If you went to college at IU, Purdue or Ball State or have lived in Indianapolis at some point in the last decade, you probably have heard of (and may have even been to) Scotty’s Brewhouse. Owner Scott Wise started the Scotty’s ‘empire’ in the village at Ball State in the late ’90s and has [...]
