Sun King Brewery will be a part of the new Yard culinary development near IKEA. Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness joined Sun King officials to announce the development Tuesday morning at the Sun King tasting room on 96th Street in Fishers.
The new 13,000-square-foot specialty production brewery and tap room will be part of The Yard development. This means the original plan for a large Sun King operation near Fry’s Electronics in Fishers has been scrapped, due to legislative and environmental complications.
Thompson-Thrift will own the building and lease it to Sun King for 10 years, with some options for both sides in the contract.
This continues a partnership between Fishers and Sun King that goes back four years when the original facility was planned.
“I think what’s happening at The Yard, (Interstate 69) Exit 205, with Top Golf, IKEA and downtown (Fishers), we’re shifting the gravitational pull of the northeast side of Indianapolis,” Fadness said.
The brewery will have two levels, including a 3,000-square-foot rooftop patio.
Sun King’s location at The Yard will be adjacent to a Culinary Accelerator, which is a partnership between the City of Fishers and Launch Fishers to develop new chefs and bring new restaurant concepts to the City of Fishers. The Culinary Accelerator will feature three food stalls that are open to the public. Additional details about the Culinary Accelerator and its tenants will be released later in 2018.
The Yard is scheduled to open in the spring of 2019.
