Lucy Session Sour - Indeed Brewing Company
BeerAdvocate magazine|#124 (May 2017)

While bars and beer gardens in Europe are typically child-friendly, in the US, many of these businesses remain for adults only. At Indeed, however, kids are welcome in the taproom, and the brewery sells soda and sparkling water in addition to ales and lagers. The only rule? Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian after 8 p.m.

Lucy Session Sour - Indeed Brewing Company

I was happily surprised when this beer came across my desk. I was also thankful it was not another IPA. While I jest about that a bit, it’s exciting to see that Indeed has released a year-round sour ale that is of American inspiration rather than bastardizing a more traditional style. According to head brewer Josh Bischoff, the style is “definitely American inspired. The basic idea behind [Lucy] is loosely based on many conversations between the head of [Wooden Soul,] our mixed fermentation program, and myself about doing something hoppy, fruity, and sour.”

nowhere to go but up

the dreaded craft beer bubble. there is perhaps no greater bogeyman in the world of craft brewing, and no greater straw man in debates over its future. derided early on as a fluke, a blip, a passing trend, craft brewers slowly, purposefully propelled themselves forward, even if they didn’t always know where they were going.
