The Rockstone and Big Lug Taproom is a member of the Indy Craft Pass group of breweries, distilleries and wineries in Central Indiana. The Taproom is on Allisonville Road in Fishers, north of Indy.

Flight of 3

We got to the Rockstone around 2:00 pm. An off time, as very few patrons were in the facility. We were helped by Simon, who took care of us. He was most helpful in explaining the range of brews on tap available.

Enjoying these brews!

Rockstone offers a three glass flight from the menu of brews on tap. A rather lengthy list was fun to chose from. Our decisions were most satisfying, so much so that we bought a growler of the “Pirate Cat”, a dark Porter with an ABV of 5.2%, and 35 IBU. Here is the Rockstone website.

Break is over: back to blogging

It is time for Roadtirement to get back to blogging. It’s been a little over a month since we took our time off. OK, we’ll admit, we’ve missed sharing what we’re up to, and perusing our favorite blogging friends. We’ll be in Seattle in a couple of weeks, but have enjoyed hanging around Indiana. (We also had a wedding in Columbus, Ohio. Our number two son was married to a great lady and the celebration was marvelous!)

L to R: strawberry Mimosa, fresh OJ, and citrus-lavender Mimosa

Sher discovered a new to us restaurant in Fishers, Indiana. Part of a local Indy Metro area chain, Rize is an upscale establishment offering a wide variety of delicious meals. Open from 7 AM to 3 PM, it is a very comfortable restaurant. We started with flavorful Mimosas and fresh squeezed OJ. Then came the specialty of the place: a huge cinnamon roll, smothered in a luscious and unique tasting icing.

Now that’s a cinnamon roll!

Our meals consisted of biscuits and gravy topped with egg, waffles with cinnamon butter, and a marvelous avocado toast with fresh fruit. Yummy!

Well, we’re back, hope we haven’t made you too hungry. We’re still doing fine. Diets and exercise continues and we are looking forward to our trip to the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for bearing with us during our break, and we look forward to bringing you more Roadtirement posts!
