Northwest Indiana Now Has Its Own Craft Beer Bus

Northwest Indiana’s craft brewing scene has grown so big they’re giving tours.

The Illiana Brew Bus plans to take craft beer drinkers to local craft breweries across the Calumet Region, including St. John Malt Brothers, Bulldog, WildRose, New Oberpfalz, The Devil’s Trumpet, 18th Street, One Trick Pony, Pokro, Crown Brewing, and Flossmoor Station. Customers are already booked, and the brew bus will hit the road as soon as the state of Indiana grants a license, owner Raquel McCormick said.
