Go Colts!
The City Market at downtown Indy has had it’s fair share of trouble but I hope this news get’s new customers to there excited. It is situated across the street from the same place people go to court, register for a gun permit, and get a marriage license (or divorce), the Indy City Hall. I never understood why it was a place people would want to stay away from. Seriously though, I used to attend IUPUI and spent many of my lunches there hanging out and eating some good food. There are all sorts of people there peddling their wares, giving haircuts, and selling fresh grown produce. Heck, one year I even bought my wife localy made chocolates for Christmas there. I can remember being in middle school and we took a field trip there. I guess you could say the City Market holds a special place in my heart.
So I’m excited to hear that the City Market bar has gotten a liquor license. Currently they are going with the name Tomlinson Tap Room which yet again reminds me of school due to a teacher of the same name. However, it get’s it’s name from Tomlinson Hall, the city’s first real convention center which stood at the City Market site. It burned down about 50 years ago in 1958. The goal of this bar is to appeal to those of us that like to spend $5 on an awesome glass of beer and as such they have teamed up with the Brewers of Indiana Guild. They have members that control some 32 breweries in the state and the tap room hopes to feature beers from around 15 of the central Indiana ones. More proof that it is an exciting time for craft beer in Indiana!
Now for the bad news. Due to construction and projects they aren’t expected to open until sometime in 2011. Currently their hours are going to be Wednesday through Friday noon to 8 p.m. and noon to 6 p.m. Saturdays. However, I’m sure if business starts booming and the tap room is full past that time they’ll adjust their schedules.

Although colder doesn’t always equal better in the world of craft and micro brews you’ve got to admit this is still pretty ingenious. You’d think this thing would be super simple to make right? But you’d be wrong. Apparently this guy tried several different variations before he figured out the trick was to use bottles filled with sand and freeze the tray in layers. Anyhow, enough jibber jabber. Read his instructions here via cockeyed.com and check out the pictures and the video below.
