About Us
Taxman Brewing Company is looking for the right individual to join our production team! We're a Belgian-style brewery and gastropub in Bargersville, Indiana (appx. 30 minutes south of Indianapolis), est. 2014. We operate a 20 bbl steam system that produced ~3800 bbls in 2016 and looking to do 5-6000 bbls in 2017. In our first years of operation we have already grown by over 100% every year, and won our first medal at 2015 Great American Beer Festival (Bronze for "Qualified" Quadrupel"), as well as a 95 rating in Draft Magazine for the same beer. 2016 expansions include an aggressive sour and barrel-aged program, new seasonal and varietal packaged beers and additional fermentation capacity. 2017 expansions included an in-house canning line and new gastropub on the north side of Indianapolis as well as a sour facility opening up later this year. Our beers range from traditional Belgian styles (blonde/dubbel/tripel/quad, farmhouse/saisons), hybrids (Belgian IPAs, Belgian-style stouts, etc.) and expansion into wild and sour fermentation (Flanders, lambics, kettle sours, proprietary funk pitches and barrel-aged blends).
