Pipeworks Alum to Open New Brewery

Cheeseheads may soon be able to grab some growlers on the drive down to GenCon.

Drew Fox has honed his skills at Chicago's Pipeworks Brewing Co. (I need to bust out that bottle of their blueberry Berliner Weisse) and is now looking to strike out on his own with 18th Street Brewery in Gary, Indiana. He's got a Kickstarter campaign going and the brews sound tasty.

VII: Black IPA. Rich, dark and aromatic. Columbus, Amarillo, and Simcoe.

What does jicama flower taste like? Here's an interview with Fox. I like this guy. No TVs in the tap room - just a space for good beer and good conversation.
