Indy Craft Beer pass

In 2002, USA Today readers voted Indy as the #3 beer city in the U.S. We joined Visit Indy and from there we found https://www.visitindy.com/deals/craft-pass/

We visited 5 breweries and got 500 points which qualified us for a free t-shirt!

The breweries we visited are:

Big Lug Brewing Co
Bier Brewery
Sun King
Big Woods Franklin
Bier Brewery North

The next prize we’d like is the Ceramic Beer Stein. We need 2000 points to get the stein, will take awhile but that’s a goal we have.

Batesville’s Bison-tennial statue

Indiana’s Bicentennial was celebrated in 2016. As part of the celebration, fiberglass statues of bison were made available to each of Indiana’s counties. Local artists decorated them with themes and scenes of the local area and features. We have seen several of these during our travels around the state, and our trip to Batesville today was no different.

We found the familiar shape of one of 92 Indiana county’s bison statues in front of the Batesville City Admin and Police Department Building. “Braun” sure makes a striking appearance on this admin office lawn!

 

Lil’ Charlie’s Restaurant and Brewery

Lil’ Charlie’s Restaurant and Brewery is located in downtown Batesville, Indiana. We stopped for lunch and found the food delicious. We tried a flight of beer and it was very good. Hard to pick a favorite, but Maj liked the Oktoberfest Marzan Man best. We’ll be going there again next time we’re in the area.

It became obvious that this was the location of the Civil War Veteran’s cemetery, complete with a prominent flagpole.

A beautiful, serene setting

An interesting touch for this section

Rest in Peace

Know that Veteran’s Sections in cemeteries should always be considered sacred ground.
