So I finally made it to Indianapolis and this town has some great brews, with some great brewpubs throughout the town. Sun King Brewery is one of the best known Indianapolis microbreweries, which is amazing considering they have only been around since 2009.
Osiris Pale Ale is their flagship brew. It's decently hoppy for a pale ale, which their website describes as being a west coast style pale ale. The beer actually has a very complicated taste, it's hoppy for a pale ale but they didn't fall into the trap of punching their drinkers in the face with hops so it is a remarkably drinkable session beer. There are some notes of citrus and spices when drinking it, which really complement the level of hops they went with. I have had it in both a can (while in the grandstands watching the Indianapolis 500) and on draught in a few different places in Indianapolis and it really hits the spot on any occasion. Some beers are good in certain situations or weather conditions but Osiris Pale Ale is good whenever you want a beer (which for me is often) and because the hops are not over the top it would be a good introduction to microbrew for the uninitiated.
Overall it has quickly become one of my go to beers when in Indianapolis. A great beer for a great (but underrated) town. Sun King beers are available pretty much anywhere in Indianapolis and their website says their beers are sold in over 450 locations in central Indiana, plus you can get it ant pretty much any liquor store or bottle shop in the city.
