The Feed: Walking Waffle, Round Town Brewery, and More

» Regulars at the Broad Ripple and Carmel farmers markets are accustomed to seeing long lines at the Walking Waffle booths. Starting October 29, they can grab this popular Belgian sweet treat any day of the week at the local company’s first permanent location, in the food court at Circle Centre. Look for them at all Indiana Pacers home games in November, too.

Successful waffle day!

» The local brewing scene keeps going and growing. Round Town Brewery opened last week at 950 South White River Parkway, on the back side of the Biltwell Event Center. Visit the tap room to taste one of the six beers they’re brewing, including Irish reds (one brewed with coffee), pale ale, Belgian amber, lager, and hoppy wheat.

Would you just look at this lager! 😍 I did more than that,…. I drank some of it before I was even able to take the picture…. opps! #notsorry #beer
