Flat12 is embracing the vision and serving intriguing vittles.

Fairly soon, that Ohio River Hoosier Beer Trail we always talk about is going to be feasible. Jeff, New Albany and Corydon, then to the Pour Haus in Tell City once it is brewing. Then, on to the work-in-progress "monastery" brewery in St, Meinrad and nearby Jasper. Finally, the three independent breweries in Evansville.

Flat12's in the news twice. First, the vision thing.

JEFFERSONVILLE: INDIANA'S NEWEST CRAFT BEER DESTINATION AND ONE MAN'S CHOICE TO 'EMBRACE THE VISION', by Cory Huffman (Indiana On Tap)

Yes, finally!

Flat 12 Bierwerks has officially, as of Nov. 22, opened its doors to Jeffersonville and rest of Southern Indiana/Louisville. This is a big deal, at least to me, and here’s why you should put your hands in the air ala YMCA fame and be rejoicing with me.

And, some food from Smoking (not Trojan) Goose.

Flat 12 serves intriguing bar fare using mini-kitchen approach, by Kevin Gibson (Insider Louisville)

Knowing how to brew great beer does not necessarily translate to also knowing how to offer great food. Flat 12 Bierwerks, which opened recently at 130 W. Riverside Drive in Jeffersonville, doesn’t serve food at its home brewery in Indianapolis, but it has decided to do so at its new location.

The results are intriguing and surprisingly effective — this isn’t a mail-it-in effort with bag-to-fryer pub fare like mozzarella sticks and chicken cubes. Instead, Flat 12 hired a chef named Elliott Rogers-Cline, who got his culinary degree at Sullivan and now manages a menu based around naan flatbread, hummus, regionally produced meats and a little creativity in making a few ingredients go a long way.
