We have some big news to share this week from the brewery. First, this week we are celebrating the 3rd Anniversary of our Speedway brewery and taproom on Saturday, June 23rd. Please join us for a very fun taplist, live music and a great time. It has been an amazing three years since relocating and it has been very rewarding and humbling to see people enjoy our beers. We make a lot more Lift Off IPA these days and we continue to add capacity to expand our lager offerings and other year round beers. As we approach our sixth year in business we have decided it is time to grow in another way and that is adding a satellite location. That new location will be known as Daredevil Hall and it will be at the Ironworks Hotel Indy, 2721 E. 86th Street, in the Nora neighborhood of Indianapolis. We will be filling the last space at the hotel building and moving into the west end cap ground floor space this fall.

Daredevil Hall will be a taproom and restaurant where guests can enjoy a rotating selection of Daredevil ales and lagers with craft beer inspired food pairings. While the taproom will be 21+ at all times the restaurant will be family friendly until 8 pm daily. In addition to our beers we will also offer a rotating selection of craft cider and wine.

The menu at Daredevil Hall will feature craft beer inspired foods from different regions of the world including Belgium, England, Germany and North America. Joining Daredevil Brewing as a partner in Daredevil Hall and the Executive Chef is Neal Brown. We have worked with Neal for several years as a supplier of craft beer to his different restaurants and we are very excited to get a chance to work with him directly on Daredevil Hall. Like us, Neal brings a passion for sense of place and takes inspiration from authentic and traditional ingredients and methods.

A lot of you might wonder what does this announcement mean for the brewery and our Speedway taproom. First, for Daredevil it means we are growing our business in a new way. We are creating more jobs both at Daredevil Hall and at the Speedway brewery, as we will be making more beer and providing another place for guests and fans to visit us. The new Daredevil Hall at Ironworks will be a taproom & restaurant – we will not be doing any brewing at that location. All Daredevil beers will continue to be brewed at our Speedway brewery, where we planned ahead and have plenty of room to continue to grow by expanding our existing building. The taproom at the brewery will continue to offer a large, rotating selection of our beers and locally sourced menu the same as we do today.

Look for more information, as we get closer to opening in the fall. We hope to see many of you this Saturday at the brewery for the celebration and the NEX IPA: Experiment #6 draft & can release.
