Midwest Breweries - Monon Wheat - Cutters Brewery - Avon Indiana

An incredibly good wheat beer, Monon is worth trying out.  Although my reviews of wheat beers will be declining over the next few weeks my reviews of stouts and porters will be going up.  If you have suggestions send me a tweet or a message on Facebook.  Have a great night.  Tomorrow I will be doing a special review for my friends and followers who are unable to purchase most of these beers in their current location.  Stay tuned it's one of my favorite beers!  Rating for Monon 4/5.

Midwest Breweries - Paleooza Pale Ale - New Holland Brewery

Another great pale ale to try is Paleooza.  With a very soft and clean flavor and finish it can be enjoyed by both the new to the pale ale family or the most seasoned.  Coming in at a 4/5 I will defiantly purchase this beer again.

Midwest Breweries - Vivian Red IPA - Scarlet Lane Brewery

Vivian is a fantastic beer.  It has a great overall taste and finish.  Several of my friends responses after just a sip were "That is good, really good!".  Coming in at a 4.5/5 I actually find myself actively seeking this beer.  If you like IPAs I think you will enjoy this refreshing creation from Scarlet Lane Brewery.

November's Ten Recommendations - Midwest Breweries

Every month I am going to be giving my recommendations of beers you should drink.  I am going to be breaking it up into two different categories easy and hard to find.  Tag me on instagram @midwestbreweries or Facebook at Midwest Breweries when your drinking this great beers.

EASY TO FIND

Stone Brewery's Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale  Can this brewery create a bad beer?  Hell no!  Fairly easy to find this beer.  It's unique combination can create a bad day into a good night.  Click here to find Stone Brewery Beers.

Kentucky Pumpkin Barrel Ale Can you handle a pumpkin ale not only aged in bourbon barrels but also has above a 10% ABV?  Defiantly a Pumpkin beer for that is not for the faint of heart or low tolerance.  Click here to find Kentucky Ales.

New Belgium Brewing's Accumulation  A great IPA that I have picked up the last three years.  Be careful drinking this beer, Indiana does not need snow accumulation like last year. Click here to find.

Leinenkugel's Red Lager Having a little bit of Irish in you never hurts.  Drinking a lager can warm you up as the temperature continues to drop.  Click here to find.

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery's 90 Minute IPA How could I not add a Dogfish Head beer when they just came back to Indiana?  At 9.0% ABV drinking two of these in 90 minutes will wash away any day's worries.

HARDER TO FIND 

(picture from Alton Brown's Twitter account @altonbrown)

Black Acre's Saucy Intruder Rye IPA If Alton Brown bought a growler of this beer do I even need to say anything?  Available at their brewery 5632 E Washington St. Indianapolis, IN 46219.

Quaff On's Busted Nuckle A night full of these you might end up with a busted knuckle, but I have not had this experience.  Find Quaff On Beer here.

Sun King Brewing's Fistful of Hops Red Don't let the Christmas colors on the can deter you from picking up this beer in November.  Find Sun King Beers here.

Three Pints Brewing's Buffaloe Black IPA - An exotic beer that is worth trying.  One of favorite beers, even going as far as going to Three Pints Brew Pub on my birthday just to have this beer.  Find Three Pint's beers here.

Mashcraft Brewing's Easy Street Shuffle - I might be beating you over the head with this beer but it deserves the praise!  It can make you feel like your in a more tropical environment as winter weather begins to arrive.  To find Mashcraft beers click here.

That is my list for November.  Don't for get to tag me in your pictures.

Updated Tow Yard Brewery Review - Midwest Breweries

Part of my commitment to bring you the best reviews possible is updating past reviews when they become out of date.  My last review talked about the lack of knives available and how that adversely affected how easy it was to eat some of the food.  Offering knives makes for a more enjoyable dinning experience.

I was first recommended to Tow Yard Brewery after, a friend, Justin went to their launch.  Knowing that I love Pale Ales and IPAs, he said that this brewery would be right up my alley.  Well, he knows me all too well!

Tow Yard has since become one of my most regular stops during the week.  I have to go Indianapolis twice a week for a soccer league and it has become my pre game ritual to grab two Horse Power Ales.  Horse Power is a double Pale Ale.  I personally had never seen or heard of a double pale ale.  If you enjoy hoppy beers Tow Yard is a must stop just for this beer.

The set up of Tow Yard is very conducive for larger groups and yet have the ability to handle many smaller groups at once too.  They are a perfect spot for lunch, those getting off work, (since their brewery is right by I-70's onramp) and pre gaming before any event at Lucas Oil Stadium (it is about a 5 minute walk away).

What food they have is fantastic especially their Pretzels and Chicken Wings.  (They even have a sandwich called Tonya Harding which makes me laugh every time I see it on the menu.)  On Thursday's they have a special where the wings are a $1.50 each and you get the whole wing not just a portion you get with other restaurants.  I also really enjoyed their wedge salad and is made with romaine lettuce and roasted pecans.  You can see their full menu here.

Offering 5 dollar growler fills Mondays and 4 dollar pints Thursdays this brewery comes highly recommended.

Service: 4.5/5

Food: 5/5

Choices: 5/5 They have plenty of beers to choose from and all great.

Atmosphere: 5/5

Overall: 5/5
