Third Bicentennial Pours & Pints Showcases One Of Indiana’s Newest & Brightest Breweries

Indiana On Tap and Hamilton County Tourism joined together last Wednesday for the third installment of Bicentennial Pours & Pints, this time taking the event to one of the Indianapolis-area’s newest breweries: Deer Creek Brewery, located just off SR-37 in Noblesville.

Opened just a few months prior, Deer Creek is owned and operated by Jeff Eaton, long-time owner and brewer at Barley Island. Though they haven’t officially had a grand opening yet, their doors are open Thursday – Sunday and they recently poured at the Brewers of Indiana Guild’s WinterFest is January, where I personally enjoyed their barrel-aged barleywine poured by Eaton himself.

Throughout the night, with the help of Hamilton County Tourism, patrons who joined us shared in great beers (the regular and barrel-aged imperial Irish reds were a favorite of the night by nearly everyone there) while conversations were had about the Tasting Society Marketplace, the rise of the craft beer industry in Hamilton County, and what the influx of more craft breweries means to the area.
