Scarlet Lane Brewing Company

Three new Cafe Patachou will debut next year, the latest one announced for Fishers Nickel Plate district.

Bowl-based chain restaurant Sweetgreen opens a location at The Fashion Mall.

Another popular Indy restaurant has been shuttered by pandemic-era economic pressures.

See you in line at downtown’s Whole Foods tomorrow at 9 a.m.

With ales and stouts as artfully crafted as their literary inspirations (the name is a nod to the Gone with the Wind protagonist, and the owners are avid readers), it shouldn’t come as a surprise that one of Scarlet Lane’s proprietors tells a great story about how craft beer knocked her head-over-heels.

With wisps of toasted coconut in both aroma and flavor, Scarlet Lane’s Dorian tastes surprisingly light for a stout. It’s actually better than Flat12’s popular version.

Central Indiana’s first craft-beer wave broke a couple of decades ago. Though several of those breweries didn’t survive to witness today’s larger flood of openings, their brewers—and their stuff, and their legacies—are still floating around.

Hoppy New Year! 2014 will bring even more microbreweries to the local beer scene. Belly up to this recap.
