Sun King’s November 2014 Newsletter

It’s the beginning of a whole new era at Sun King Brewery:
The number one complaint we’ve had about the Tasting Room from the very beginning is that you can’t actually drink a beer while you’re there. We pride ourselves on our customer service and we strive to constantly make changes for the better, so starting Monday, November 3rd, we’ll be serving full size glasses of beer in the Tasting Room.

Our new hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 10am-7pm and Saturday from 1-5pm. Growler Fill Fridays are too busy to make changes to and we will stick to the program of tickets for sampling and beer to go.

One of the reasons we’ve been unable to serve pints until now is because we didn’t have a kitchen area that would allow us to meet the state minimum food requirement. For those that are unaware of what that means, Indiana law requires that in order to serve beer by the glass, a brewery must have available hot sandwiches, hot soup, coffee and milk for at least 25 people. It’s a law that dates back to the late 1970’s, but it’s the law none-the-less, so we’ve built out a food preparation area that will allow us to be compliant and give the people what they want: Full size glasses of beer!
 
Our food program will rival our friends down at New Albanian’s Bank Street Brew House, so be aware that we are not making the leap into the restaurant business and you will be underwhelmed by the options, but this is about drinking beer in a brewery not sparking a food revolution. We will have a rotation of food trucks on site every Wednesday and Thursday. In the event that one is unavailable we will offer menus from local restaurant partners that carry our beer and offer delivery. Carry in food and beverages will be prohibited.
  
With this awesome new feature come other changes of course. You will still be able to taste any beer that we have on tap, but tastes will be just that, 1oz tastes. We will be offering Sample Flights for $6 that will get you 3oz samples of each of our House Beers and three seasonal/specialty beers. Complimentary sampling will be limited to Growler Fill Friday.

We hope that you are as excited as we are about this and that we see you in the Tasting Room soon for a pint of Fresh•Local•Beer!

Sun King Save Your Tabs Collection Holiday Challenge:

It’s that time of year again for holiday parties and family gatherings.  When people get together, that means people will be gathering for good times, and perhaps some Fresh•Local•Beer in cans!

Sun King challenges you to help out with the Sun King Save Your Tabs Collection Holiday Challenge benefiting Ronald McDonald House of Indiana.  We ask that you, our beloved fans, friends, and family, to help collect aluminum tabs.  The tabs you collect can be of any aluminum tab variation, from a can of Fresh•Local•Beer, energy drink, soda, or canned water!  Since the holiday season is almost underway, what better way than to unite with your friends, family, and co-workers on collecting as many tabs as you can for the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana.  

The Save Your Tabs Holiday Collection Challenge started on November 3rd, 2014 and will run until February 10th, 2015. 

On Saturday, February 10th, we ask that you stop by the brewery to drop off your collected tabs.  We will weigh your tabs and reward you with prizes, and then we’ll deliver the collective bounty of tabs to the Ronald McDonald House where it will go to help those in need!

If you want to feel even better about cracking open a can of Fresh•Local•Beer then please join in the fun and help Sun King and The Ronald McDonald House of Indiana help families in need.
