Founded in 2009, Sun King Brewing Co., Indianapolis, IN, produced 5,000 barrels of beer in its first full year of operation, doubled that in 2011 and brewed more than 15,000 barrels last year. The company, which was started by veteran brewers Dave Colt and Clay Robinson, specializes in handcrafted seasonal and specialty beers that it distributes exclusively in Indiana. And that is where it intends to maintain its focus. "We have no plans to expand our distribution to other states," says Robinson. "We are going to spend $3.9 million on new equipment and add 1,850 square feet to our existing 27,000-square-foot facility; and we still won't be able to meet demand in Indiana." The expanded brewery will house 240-barrel fermentation tanks to allow for the increase in beer production.
