It is a great time to be a craft brewery and especially a craft brewery in Indiana. Things are moving fast here as we gear up for our first expansion. Yes, we only started shipping in January and we really are already expanding so we can meet the demand for more aggressively fun craft beers. This week we are receiving two new fermentation tanks and a new bright tank from our awesome partner JV Northwest in Portland. Over the next couple weeks the new equipment will be installed and once it moves into operation we will be able to easily produce over 2000 BBLs per year or roughly twice our current capacity. What this means to the average person out there is that we will be able to continue to grow our distribution footprint and volume for Lift Off IPA while also continuing to produce our Belgian seasonal series and limited release beers like Rip Cord Double IPA.  And while we are busy growing our capacity we also wanted to give a big shout out to all the people out there who are part of the Daredevil community in one way or another from people supporting us when they...

We try hard to keep people informed of where you can find our beers across Indiana. As we grow it gets a little harder but we believe that people both want this information and find it very useful.  For the last three months we have done a Friday weekend planning guide update with locations and then when we added our Muse Belgian Golden Ale seasonal release we started identifying if the location carried Lift Off IPA and/or Muse. This works well until we went past +70 locations and added our new limited release, Rip Cord Double IPA.  To keep information flowing we are now going to provide a weekly update each Thursday on locations for our current seasonal and limited releases. If you have reviewed our website or read our prior posts our plans are to have 3 or 4 beers at any given time during the year which would mean 2 or 3 seasonal or limited releases. With +35 locations now carrying Muse and Rip Cord and growth continuing we think a dedicated weekly update is just the way to go.  The Friday weekly update will continue and it will focus on providing the view of all our...

This is the Rip Cord Double IPA daily location update. Given all the interest we will do a rolling daily update every afternoon so you know where Rip Cord is on draft, delivered, and get a sneak peak at upcoming locations.  Also, we announce deliveries in the daily update and will do our best to announce when a location has put Rip Cord on draft too as they happen It’s a bit of coordination on our part but we think makes it easier on everyone. To date everyone ordering Rip Cord carries one or both of our other current beers Lift Off IPA and Muse BGA so you also should have a chance to sample our lineup at one place.

We have had Muse Belgian Golden Ale out now for almost a month in locations across Indiana. We are really pleased at the feedback and that people are enjoying it. We wanted to answer the most frequest questions we have had about Muse, which is “how long are you making it?” and “are you going to make more Belgians?” On the first question, Muse is the first seasonal beer from our new Beligan series. As for dates we are roughly following the calendar seasons. Muse is our Winter seasonal with availability from February to April, which means we can brew it once a month so that people get the full benefit of fresh craft beer. On the second question, we plan to make four Belgian seasonal beers this year with one per season. We have shown this on our website with estimated dates but not yet announced the beer names or beer style for each season. All we can say on this without spoiling the surprise is that you can expect each seasonal beer style to match the season we brew it.  For now, enjoy Muse. Take advantage of it being around another couple months. We know we will. 

With the release of Muse Belgian Golden Ale last week we want to try and give regular updates on deliveries for where Muse will be on draft. Make sure to watch our Twitter and Facebook pages as well as the blog. Deliveries have been made to the following locations as of Tuesday, February 19th, so you can look for Muse to be on draft at these locations soon if not already.

Shelbyville, IN (February 14, 2013) – Daredevil Brewing Co, maker of Lift Off IPA and aggressively fun craft beers, announced the release of Muse, an unfiltered golden ale that displays a classic fruity and spicy fermentation character with a backdrop of the highest quality Belgian Pilsner Malt and noble hops for a refreshingly fun, and intriguingly unique balance of inspiration and respect for the classic Belgian Golden Ale style.   Muse is a 8.5 percent and 30 IBU seasonal release, and is available on draft throughout the Daredevil distribution footprint of central and southern Indiana beginning Thursday, February 14th.
