Drinking locally produced beer at Four Day Ray’s new downtown Fishers building could come as soon as this summer. More than half of the 20,000 square foot facility will contain a production facility for craft beer and a restaurant in the Nickel Plate District, with the remainder of the capacity earmarked as office space.
“The addition of Four Day Ray to the Nickel Plate District adds to the vibrancy of our downtown” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness in a city news release. “Seeing this team of local entrepreneurs break ground on this project is very exciting for the City of Fishers. Not only will the new destination offer locally sourced food and craft beer, but the additional office space in the Nickel Plate District is in high demand and much needed.”
The company news release describes Four Day Ray:
Four Day Ray Brewing is the brainchild of award winning homebrewer Brian Graham, who teamed up with Fishers entrepreneurs and fellow craft beer enthusiasts Chris Welsh and Matt Troyer to come up with a game plan to bring a craft brewery to downtown Fishers. Mitch Ackerman, formerly of Thirsty Dog Brewing, Akron, Ohio and Mudshark Brewing, Lake Havasu City, AZ rounds out the founding team with an accomplished history in production brewing. FDR’s planning has been in the works for more than two years.
