The Schnitz Brewery & Pub is pleased to announce that their own brand of microbrew beer is now on tap! On Tuesday, September 1, the Schnitz Brewery & Pub received a Letter of Authority from the State of Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission making it official. Currently, the Schnitz Blonde, Schnitz Hefe, and Schnitz Porter are on tap at the Schnitz Brewery & Pub. The Schnitz IPA is anticipated to be ready to tap on Friday, September 11. The Schnitzelbank Restaurant is also currently serving the Schnitz Hefe and the Schnitz Blonde on tap, and plans on carrying all four Schnitz microbrews in the following few weeks.
According to owner Alan Hanselman, “We are very excited for the public to try our beer. Craft beer is a passion for our family and also a natural tie-in with our German heritage.†The Hanselman family also owns the Schnitzelbank Restaurant & Catering, Hampton Inn, and KlubHaus 61 in Jasper.
Wayne Patmore, the head brewer at the Schnitz Brewery & Pub, plans on brewing new batches of beer two to three times per week. Each batch of beer is 7 barrels or 217 gallons. In addition to the four staple beers that are on tap, Patmore will also be brewing a seasonal beer that will rotate throughout the year. For the non-beer drinkers, he always has a root beer on tap, brewed fresh in the brewery.
