Specialized brewery finds home in Fountain Square
By Sarah Richcreek / Star correspondent

As consumers look for more hand-crafted goods and a back-to-basics approach, one very specialized brewery has found a home in Fountain Square.
New Day Meadery is the only meadery in Indiana, and one of only 60 in the nation. Husband-and-wife team Brett Canaday and Tia Agnew began production in Elwood in 2001. In June, they opened a Fountain Square shop with a tasting room at 1102 Prospect St.
Mead, in essence, is honey wine. Because mead contains no grapes, which are naturally high in sugar, the fruit in mead needs the added sugar of the honey to increase the alcohol content.
Canaday and Agnew offer eight varieties, from dry to sweet. (Bottles range from $12 to $25.) Their tasting room is open to walk-ins, who can experience a single taste up to a full flight for a fee.
Canaday and Agnew plan to collaborate with local restaurants to provide food for larger tastings and parties, and they hope to host private cooking demonstrations.

Hip To Be Square
Those who said Fountain Square wasn't living up to its promised potential may soon have to eat their words—or least give them a nibble. A couple new restaurants, a watering hole or two, and a coffee shop are currently in the works just off the Square.
•The first to come along is Calvin Fletcher's Coffee Company (615 Virginia Ave., 423-9697), which opened October 17 on Virginia Avenue in the Fletcher Place neighborhood. The not-for-profit café serves fair-trade coffee and organic teas, plus sweets from City Sweets and Classic Cakes. Each month, tips are donated to a different charity; this month's recipient is Second Helpings.
•Imbibe (1105 Shelby St.), opened Friday in the Fountain Square Theatre Building between owners Linton and Fern Calvert's other two restaurants, Smokehouse on Shelbi and the Shelbi Street Bistro. The Art Deco-themed bar offers small-plate appetizers, craft beers, specialty cocktails, and wines.
•Across the square in the Murphy Art Center, restaurateur Wally Bolinger plans to open The Red Lion, an English pub, the week of Thanksgiving. Bolinger also owns Britton Tavern in Noblesville, and says this one will offer traditional English favorites, like bangers and mash, shepherd's pie, and fish and chips, plus burgers and a couple of vegetarian options. Bolinger will also serve about a dozen craft beers (including some Sun King favorites), 20 bottled beers, and a short wine list.
•In the coming months, we can look forward the White Rabbit Cabaret (1116 E. Prospect St.), from sisters Debra and Rebecca Silveus, which will feature vaudeville-inspired dance shows and some movie and game nights, plus small-plate offerings and beer and wine. And finally, next door at 1130 East Prospect, Radio Radio owners David "Tufty" Clough and Roni Donaldson plan to open a full-service restaurant known tentatively as La Revolucion sometime next year.
