The drive out from 69 is a bit tedious, but the payoff is fantastic.

Beer selection of their beers was 7 total, but they only had on 5, and 5 is their sampler... so, ducks in a row, I got them... the tenacious apple triple was the most outstanding followed by the see no evil, also outstanding... the other three were by degrees, equally outstanding with the green tea ipa falling a bit shorter than its companions, but not by much... The guest taps here are great there's about 20ish if I remember right... and I didn't look too closely at the bottle selections because I was kinda caught up with how good the damn beer was... that drive gives you preconceptions of homebrew swill and you get really well produced beer. It's in the middle of freakin nowhere for gods sake....

atmosphere is interesting because as you enter... it's a coffeehouse... and you walk back and there's a bar, and going into the seating section there's a stage... I think all three businesses are independent from each other but support each other vicariously, anyway... getting past the coffee shop there's a large seating area of tables... the server station is up where the taps are so no bellying up... you sit, you order, you drink/eat, you go... the alleyway between buildings has seating for about 30 people... and on a nice day, it's where it's at. The decor of the place is roadhouse, with odd but cool touches like the desks on the way to the bathroom, or the gate in front of the beer garden in the alley... looking around there are things to notice and oddities to be had, so have a few for observations sake...

I was in a smash and go mood before I walked in, but the beer slow'd me down... so I was impatient with my server plus, that place has a local vibe... the service wasn't bad persay, but it wasn't attentive... tho water was offered with my sampler so the tastes didn't run together, that's quoting the waitress. so points there... my sampler cost 11 bucks, but 5 4oz pours... more expensive than most on the sampler, but pint price i'd still rate moderate.

Food was standard and fried with a few exceptions. people with less fried or meaty tastes may want to eat a bit before coming here.

worth going out of your way for, but make it as a combo trip to indy, or from indy to chicago. honestly if it wasn't for jcoe's recommendation on the beer, i don't think i would've gone out the way.

** a food recommendation before you get off 69, fair oaks farms... killer cheese sandwich, but not for the feint of heart as they have live birthings of cows as an attraction. The icecream here, vanilla, is to die for.
