E-Malt.com News article: USA, IN: The Science Project Brewing Company now open in Logansport
Brewery news

After a long wait, a new restaurant and brewery is now open in Logansport, the Kokomo Tribune reported on August 28.

The Science Project Brewing Company officially opened its doors this past weekend.

The Science Project, 611 North St., Logansport offers a variety of brews, drinks and pizza with more to come as the business grows.

For owner Tim Eaton, opening the business was an opportunity to feel more a part of his adopted community.

“I grew up in Flint, Michigan,” he said. “I see a lot of similarities where industrial leaves and a town gets hollowed out. A lot of the economic base kind of leaves. There’s still good people there.”

He hopes when customers finally arrive they will find a fun and energetic atmosphere.

“Everyone in town has their niche, and we want to carve out our little niche here,” Eaton said. “Beer you can’t get anywhere else. There’s a chance to experience something different.”

Brewing began July 8. There are currently eight Science Project beers on tap, said brewer Cody Moon, including a drink called “Double Felix,” an ode to Logansport High School’s Felix the Cat mascot. There is also a wheat beer named after the Chamberlain Tavern, Logansport’s first tavern. The Science Project will also feature some award winning brews from the Indiana Brewer’s Cup over the next couple of weekends.

“We will have a large range,” said Moon. “We won’t be a big IPA house or a big stout house. Our goal is to have something light, something hoppy, something sour, something not beer related at all like seltzers.”

The businesses’ pizza is Neapolitan style created by Michael Alvarez.

“It’s very thin, very fluffy, very crispy,” he said.

He said there will be variations that include steak, honey and apples, things most people don’t get to experience with their pizza in Logansport.

It was important to Alvarez to create something new for the community and not try to compete directly with the many local pizza establishments in town, some of which he considered mentors.

As time goes on, Alvarez hopes to expand the menu with appetizers and pasta.

It’s important to everyone involved at the Science Project to use as many local products as possible. They are even bartering and trading materials with businesses.

“We want our ingredients to be very fresh, very clean,” Alvarez said.

Even the artwork on the exterior of the building is local.

The mural above the entryway, featuring a volcano and rocket ship, was painted by artists Sienna Yvette Urbina, Abigail Carman, Kelci McKay and Carrie Hayden with assistance from Haley Tabb and Kaylee Snodgrass.

Eaton hopes those interested in breweries from outside of Cass County will come visit and also discover Bonus Pints, Black Dog Legacy or places such as U-Know Pizza and Bruno’s Pizza.

Eaton asked that customers be patient with them as they open. It is a science project, after all.

“It’s a new venture, and we are going to make mistakes,” he said. “But we are going to do everything we can to make sure people walk away feeling that they had a good time.”
