GOOD AS GOLD: TIPPECANOE COMMON ALE
We're proud to announce that our own Tippecanoe Common Ale was awarded a Gold Medal at the recent Indiana State Fair Brewer's Cup competition. We are extremely pleased that the judges found our best seller to be worthy of their top rating, as well. And talk about timing! It's received an equally enthusiastic reception since being released as one of our first bottled products. Read more below!
BOTTLE ROLL-OUT A SMASHING SUCCESS!
Our recent release of 12 ounce bottles of Tippecanoe Common Ale and Black Angus Oatmeal Stout has been met with tremendous enthusiasm and has kept the brewery staff working well into the evening keeping up with the demand. In fact, demand has been so great that we've delayed our release into area liquor stores and other establishments until we can get our operations up to full capacity. We're very excited about the new package, and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Stop by and pick up a six-pack to see what all the fuss is about!
