    Nice. A couple of additions to the links:

    Mishawaka Brewing, Oyster Bar and Wilbur are closed.
    Twisted Crew Brewing in Seymour is open.
    Bulldog Brewing in Whiting is open. http://bulldogbrewingco.com
    Bare Hands in Granger might open this month.

    We’re so far past the old days of the On Tap guide or BeerMe. Could any one place keep up with the links of open breweries in the US?

      Thanks for the updates.

      I agree it’s hard to keep up with so many new breweries opening, but I wouldn’t say we’re past their efforts. Somebody has to try, and I applaud their efforts. It’s just harder now for any one person to keep up, but not impossible, especially with so many willing to help.
