About Blockhead Beerworks
Blockhead Beerworks is a brewery and distillery with an Asian-fusion kitchen on Washington Street in Valparaiso. Its website calls it a brewstillery, so the beer, the spirits and the food all come from one place. It is independently owned and operated.
The beer list runs from light to dark. The website calls Blood Orange Wheat one of its first beers and still one of its biggest sellers. Downtown Nut Brown is a brown ale made with toasted pecans, and Sparkle Time is a non-alcoholic option.
The kitchen is the other draw. The Valparaiso menu includes fresh sushi, and the smashburger is available on Tuesdays and Sundays. Sunday brunch is served too.
The bar makes cocktails with its own Blockhead Stillworks gin, rum and vodka, and the menu also lists sake, wine and mocktails. More people have reviewed Blockhead Beerworks on Google than any other brewery, taproom or beer shop in Valparaiso on this site.
