In our ever-growing community, it seems that a new business opens every day. Yesterday’s empty lot or storefront is today’s latest entertainment venue, restaurant, organization headquarters or the like. With so many options, IN thought it might be helpful to introduce you to some of the newest additions to our northshore landscape.
You won’t want to miss Heiner Brau, the new microbrewery and museum on Lockwood Street in the heart of downtown Covington. Owner and brewmaster Henryk Orlik began his career in Germany at the age of 16. He is proud to say that his brew contains no artificial additives—just simple malted barley, hops, yeast and water. This pure style of brewing is called “Reinheitsgebot” in Germany. We call it simply delicious!

For information on where Heiner Brau beer is sold, log on to www.heinerbrau.com, or call 893-2884.
