Meet Our Presenting Sponsor
If there’s anyone in Indianapolis who appreciates handcrafted goods, it’s Dave Colt and Clay Robinson. That’s why their company, Sun King Brewing Co., is proud to be the presenting sponsor of the INDIEana Handicraft Exchange for the 2011 summer show.
Like the INDIEana Handicraft Exchange, Sun King is part of a national movement to replace mass produced goods of questionable quality with handcrafted alternatives. And like the Handicraft Exchange, Sun King has enjoyed an overwhelmingly positive response from the public and the explosive growth that comes with it.
Colt and Robinson spent the first six months of 2009 building their brewery and the latter half of the year struggling to keep up with the demand for their beer, which recently won two medals at the World Beer Cup. The brewery, which distributes directly to 83 central Indiana bars, restaurants, hotels, and liquor stores, has grown by leaps and bounds, adding six employees, a canning line, and several hundred barrels of brewing capacity less than two years since they brewed their first batch.
Its Sunlight Cream Ale, Osiris Pale Ale, Wee Mac Scottish Ale and Bitter Druid ESB are always on tap but Sun King rotates up to three new seasonal beers in and out of its lineup each month. The brewery’s focus on seasonal recipes allows Colt, Robinson, and their assistant brewers to flex their creative muscles with different varietals and ingredients.
“We put our heart and soul into what we make and the vendors at the INDIEana Handicraft Exchange put the same love into what they do, too,” says Robinson. Try a Sun King on June 11, from noon to 8 p.m., at the Harrison Center for the Arts, where it will be the only beer on sale during the INDIEana Handicraft Exchange and Independent Music + Art Festival.
