18th Street flies under the radar, which is strange because it makes terrific beer and food. Saisons, double India pale ales and sour beers are the specialties, along with house-smoked sausages and blue-cheese burgers. The industrial and graffitied warehouse in Hammond is a favorite of local headbangers.
A new distillery and sour-specific bar (Sour Note; weekends only; eight taps) have been added to the empire. Also in Gary.
