Sun King to Open Fishers Tap Room and Brewery in June

The new tap room is only a half mile away from land that will be developed into a destination brewery and event center over the next few years.

“Many north side residents already enjoy Sun King beer, and we’re excited to bring it closer to them, while introducing new fans to our fresh local beer,” said Clay Robinson, Sun King co-founder. “This new brewery will also give us the opportunity to produce more small batch, one-off and experimental beers than we can in our full-production facility in downtown Indianapolis.”

Last year Sun King announced plans to build a second production facility in Fishers; however, because of uncertainty in the Indiana Legislature surrounding a bill that could increase Indiana’s small brewery production limits, planning for that facility has been put on hold.

“As we approached our production limits in Indianapolis, planning a second full-production brewery in Fishers was the next logical step for Sun King’s growth,” said Dave Colt, head brewer and co-founder of Sun King Brewery. “However, we need to wait until we have the full consent from our state government to produce more than 30,000 barrels of beer each year. We continue to remain optimistic that the limit will increase, which would boost the local economy, create more local jobs and provide more local craft beer to enthusiasts.”
