Figure Eight Brewing

Figure Eight is a small craft brewery in downtown Valparaiso, (Vale Of Paradise) Indiana about 60 miles southeast of Chicago. Started in 2010, they joined other craft brewers in Northwest Indiana (Three Floyds, Shoreline, Crown, and Backroad), helping to solidify the area as a craft brew destination. They're located in the “buckle” of the “Beer Belt” that stretches from Southwestern Michigan, around Lake Michigan, up through Illinois, and into Wisconsin. Figure Eight is named after a knot used in sailing and rock climbing. Aside from crafting great beer, rock climbing is their passion. This knot is used to tie the safety rope to the climber’s harness. An aesthetically pleasing knot, when turned on its side, it looks like the symbol for infinity. They hold true to their passions, as they take Figure Eight Brewing to the limits. Their philosophy is simple. “Harness your F8 (fate)”. Life is short and time is fleeting. If we wait too long to pursue our dreams, then we may never have the chance. As John Barrymore once said – “A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.” Show Less
