Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
DEVIATE FROM THE NORM. Brewers Mike and Greg relocated from Cincinnati to Indy in 1995, and soon after they were introduced to their first Belgian beers hooking them on good beer ever since. It progressed to the inevitable challenge of making their own home brew versions of the beers they loved, and with the gift of their first brewing equipment from a friend, they started their beer-making journey two decades ago. From the beginning, both found common ground — having similar tastes in beer styles which progressed to a shared obsession of trying to figure out how their favorites were made, while sharing in the fun of sharing the results with friends which kept them motivated to make more. Playing to each other's strengths, Mike is excited about the technical part of brewing and Greg enjoys determining flavor combinations and fun new things to try. Their joint passion to make fun, creative craft beer coupled with their individual strengths has made for a top-tier brewing team. It's in the name: "Deviate from the norm" is the guiding mantra that Mike and Greg apply to their brewery design & approach and how they create their recipes. Often craft beer is held to standard beer style guidelines, where every aspect is defined and often confined by long standing definitions. Although one can respect the talent to brew a well-made beer done to style, they believe that craft beer should be fun and push the envelope of what is traditional.

Gary, Indiana, United States
Sometimes things happen for a reason. Starting to feel burnt out from the wear and tear of the hospitality game, Drew Fox took a trip to Belgium. The hostel he was staying at had a phenomanal wheat beer with which he fell in love. Upon returning to Chicago, Drew found it difficult to get beers that sparked that same feeling he had in Europe. It was around this time that Blue Moon started circulating and it- along with Chicago's Half Acre, started to put Drew's wheels in motion. In 2012 a Kickstarter campaign was begun to get money to open a brewery and taproom for 18th Street Brewery to call their own. The campaign was well recieved and exceeeded its initial goal. In the midst of brewing and bottling six different beers, 18th was able to find a home in the Miller Beach community of Gary, Indiana. A lot has happened since that trip to Belgium and the end of the Kickstarter campaign, and we're happy to now have a home where we can brew, bottle and serve fresh, local beer.
