Gravity Head Twist: For Gravity Head 2013, our friends from Sun King in Indianapolis are in a category by themselves, as they’ve been in so many ways since the brewery first opened in 2009. Sun King has been a Hoosier brewing pioneer in numerous ways, from achieving critical mass through self-distribution to large-scale canning, and from tap room layout
to community partnerships. From start-up to institution in four short years, Sun King is helping cement Indiana’s expanding craft brewing reputation. Cheers to Clay, Dave and all the people at Sun King, and welcome to Gravity Head 2013.
These Sun King beers will
be on tap on Friday, February 22, when Gravity Head’s
15th bacchanal begins.

Sun King Big Iron
(19B) English Barleywine

Clay Robinson (owner): “A handful of beers, we come up with a really good name and then design a beer backwards to fit the name. We just brewed a barleywine that’s called Big Iron that’s going to be a really fun beer that we’re going to cellar for awhile before we let out. We’ll brew that this summer (2012) and probably release it later in the winter.”
