Northbrook Brewing Company has announced that it will open its first brewery and taproom at 119 W. Main St., Arcadia, next summer.
Northbrook was founded by long-time friends Andrew Johnson, Michael Ringwalt, and Jennifer Longenecker with the goal of brewing beers inspired by timeless traditional tastes but also experimenting with bold and unique flavors and brewing methods.
“Expect styles like lagers, pilsners, IPAs, and pale ales,” Johnson said. “We just really want to have fun with it; we want to create a great social space for our community members while they enjoy our beers.”
Opening in summer of 2022, Northbrook Brewing has begun the design process with the Indianapolis-based firm Curran Architecture. The 5,000 square-foot space will be renovated into a welcoming taproom and brewery that will give locals and visitors the opportunity to stay and enjoy a drink or pick up a growler to bring home.
“I am from a small town myself, and I understand and appreciate the special relationships that are created in a close community,” Longenecker said. “We are thrilled and humbled to be part of the Arcadia family.”
When completed, the building will have multiple spaces to gather and socialize, including a vibrant taproom and a spacious patio. The spaces will be joined by large garage doors that can be opened in the warm and buzzing summer months to expand the space. Northbrook will also be partnering with local Hoosiers in the culinary world to bring Arcadia not only a delicious and defined menu, but the perfect pairings to compliment the bold flavors of the brews.
Northbrook Brewing Company’s goal is to grow the passion for craft beer and to continue the propensity for the artistic endeavor.
