🇺🇸American Pilsner Saturday🇺🇸

Porch Views, our style American pilsner is back this Saturday. Brewed with Sugar Creek Malt Co. pilsner malt and Michigan grown Zuper Saazer hops, fermented cool with a badass lager yeast, and lagered beyond patience.

We couldn’t let summer end without bringing back one of our favorite house beers. Watching the summer rains on the porch just got a whole lot crispier. It it even humid out?

Draft and cans available Saturday.

Would you look at the head on that pint?! The newest batch of Inevitably Hazy IPA, a classic enhanced by midwestern-grown Bergamot and Macinac hops from Crazy Horse Hops and local malt from Sugar Creek Malt Co., is one of the fantastic IPAs we’ll have ready for you at the tenth annual Hop Your Face THIS SATURDAY! 🍻🎸🍊

A new article by the talented David Nilsen. This time covering our new release of Edelweiss.

It’s late morning on an early June day in western Indiana, and Caleb Michalke is walking through a field of barley. One hand brushes across the heads of the pale, honey-coloured stalks, while his other holds onto the leg of his four-year-old son, who sits upon his shoulders. The day will be hot, b

These pictures are all taken about 10 days apart. It is fun to watch and compare the progression.

Amazing article and photos from the talented Stephanie Byce of Good Beer Hunting. This was such a special weekend that I will never forget.

I’d been wanting to visit Sugar Creek Malt Company ever since I heard about its owner, Caleb Michalke, and his desire to open a såinnhus—a malt house traditionally used in Norway—on his property in rural Indiana. There aren’t exactly a lot of people in the Midwest invested in recreating sma...

NEW PODCAST!

Caleb Michalke from Sugar Creek Malt Co. joins me on this episode to talk about all the malt he is producing in Indiana. Floor malted, oven dried, wind dried, hot smoked, cold smoked, custom smoked... Sugar Creek does it all. Caleb's passion for malting and love of nordic farmhouse brewing traditions is truly inspiring.

We also cover the upcoming AltBrau bottle release in the intro so be sure to check that out.

Skip ahead 10 mins if you just want to hear the interview.

A beautiful story about my daily life here at the malthouse.

Much of Caleb Michalke’s life revolves around smoke. It’s a substance, a multi-sensory ensemble, that clearly compels him in his daily work as the owner of Sugar Creek Malt in western Indiana.  It’s unlikely anyone was begging him for his array of malts cold-smoked over herbs like lavende...

The best beer in the series!

"To Serve Those Who Serve Us"

The first-round of the Indy Independent Relief Fund beer release called “SOCIAL DISTANCE” sold out in 24 hours of its release.

Grand Junction Brewing Co. is proud to be involved in round two of this ongoing series. We are excited to unveil the ESSENTIAL Pilsner. In collaboration with Monon Beverage Brokers, Crazy Horse Hops LLC, Sugar Creek Malt Co., and ICan Solutions, LLC, we are donating 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this beer back to the Indy Independent Relief Fund. This project is possible because we have some amazing people in our local craft beer community. Much love.

As many of you know, the food & hospitality industry has taken a devastating hit from the impacts of Covid-19. Overnight, tens of thousands in our industry found themselves unemployed in Central Indiana. The Indy Independent Relief Fund was registered as a nonprofit organization on March 19, 2020. This entity is dedicated to “Serve Those Who Serve Us” by providing economic assistance to the food and alcohol industry workers in both the short and long-term.

How do you purchase? Simple. We are now accepting pre-orders of both 4-packs and cases via our online ordering site @ https://grandjunctionbrewing.com/orderonline/ - Please note, there is a very limited quantity of these beers being released, and it is our intention to sell out quickly.

In addition to online ordering, stay tuned for a list of retail locations where ESSENTIAL will be available for purchase.

The beer will be canned on 4/30. If you pre-order, you will receive pick-up information a couple of days prior to 4/30.

Cheers & Love
The GJBC Family

Påêted Skøts is an exciting collab that goes off the beaten path. Done between Purpose Brewing and Cellars and an excellent assortment of craft malts from Admiral, Troubadour Maltings, Root Shoot Malting, Epiphany Craft Malt, and Sugar Creek Malt Co.

The brew sits in Purpose Brewing’s new Laws Whiskey House bourbon whiskey barrels for a nicely smoky, low ABV, aromatically boozy beer. They serve it “neat”, of course. We love beers that borrow flavors and elements from distilling as much as any chance to get the craft malt community together in a special collab - and this brew checks both boxes!
