Nickel Plate Express and Sun King are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with their second annual Irish Express on March 14.
Featuring beer from Indianapolis-based Sun King Brewing, the Irish Express is a beer tasting experience aboard a 1956 train.
The train departs from Forest Park at 3 and 6 p.m. Tickets for the event cost $40 per person and include the hour and a half train ride, three Sun King samples and snacks. Pints are available for purchase on board.
“Sun King is a great community partner and we’re happy to have them back for St. Patrick’s Day,” said Nickel Plate Express Director Dagny Zupin. “The Irish Express is always lively and a unique way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.”
“Sun King Brewery is thrilled to be a part of such a unique experience,” said Sun King Marketing and Promotions Director Elizabeth Belange. “Those aboard the Nickel Plate Express can enjoy one of three styles of beer. No matter what beer you choose, 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit the Nickel Plate Heritage Railroad.”
Nickel Plate Express will also offer a family Irish Express on March 14 featuring crafts and seasonal snacks.
Tickets for the Irish Express are available at NickelPlateExpress.com.
