Hey everyone! A lot of people have been curious what’s been going on with us lately so it’s time we made an announcement. Running a business is hard. Running a business during covid was even harder. Running a business in a tight economy has proved to be the hardest. We love everything that we have done and everything we have created over the years. We love the excitement of every customer that’s come through the door and found us. We love the relationships we’ve built and we absolutely love this industry. We love beer. Unfortunately love doesn’t pay the bills and with rising costs of operation we have to do what is right for ourselves and our families and cease operation in Merrillville, Indiana. Our last days open to come in and grab some cans and some pours will be Thursday December 21st - Saturday December 23rd. It’s only fitting that the taproom goes out the way we came in… with Jeremy Schmidt behind the bar. Let’s have fun one last time.
We know this sounds sad and likely will disappoint a lot of you, but rest assured we are working on an avenue to still bring your favorite Viking sours, seltzers and stouts to you in some fashion… just not as a taproom in Merrillville, Indiana. Until then Merry Xmas, Happy New Year and go support and appreciate your favorite local breweries. Chances are they need it. ⚔️🖤⚔️
