HOMETOWN BREWS Family-Owned Bier Brewery Opens New Carmel Location was right to try their hand at a nano-brew operation and officially launched the business the night before Thanksgiving. Ryan joined the business after graduating from Indiana University. Not long after they opened the East 65th Street location, demand began to increase, and even after expanding to a seven-barrel system, the Connors could barely keep up with orders.

Westfield are excited about it. We are stoked about it, too.”

After nearly a decade in the same spot, one of Indy’s most popular breweries has expanded to a second location. Bier Brewery launched a brand new Carmel taproom — officially opened early November.

Jerry launched Bier Brewery in 2010 with his sons Darren and Ryan, who are also co-owners in the family business. Having expanded from a nano-brewery in 2010 to a 20-barrel, full-production facility with more than 130 beer selections in less than seven years, their focus has always been on putting out quality craft brews. That will continue to “The demand is really what drove our growth, so it hasn’t just been a matter of be the case at the Carmel location as well. trying to grow just for the sake of it,” Jerry “When you focus on quality and consistency, says. “We were the first nano in Indy and the first brewery to open after Sun King. It’s it’s not difficult to grow naturally,” Jerry not just a hobby for us — it’s a passion and says. “If your business plan is based on quantity that’s where you can get into trouble a profession. We continue to pay attention sometimes, but we’ve always put our energies to the small details. There are no shortcuts.” into quality and attention to detail. Focus, It’s truly a family effort. Darren heads up focus, focus — that’s what we’re all about.” In 2010, Darren and Jerry felt the time brewing operations while Jerry handles

The new spot is located at the Meridian Village Plaza at 13720 N. Meridian. The location hits close to home because, well, Carmel-Westfield is quite literally home for co-owner Jerry Connor. “We’ve lived in The Village Farms since 1989,” Jerry says. “Carmel & Westfield has been our home. It is a perfect location for us. My kids went to school at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel growing up. Leah and Ryan graduated from Westfield High School. A lot of our friends and people in Carmel &

marketing and Ryan serves as sales director. Jerry’s daughter Leah is a partner in Carmel as well. Carmel residents and friends of the Connors, Chip and Pam Edgington, have also come on board as partners for the new Carmel location. “We are delighted to join the Connor family and are excited about growing Bier in Carmel,” Chip says. “We’ve been big supporters of Bier since it launched in Indy eight years ago and are excited about the buzz we’ve been hearing from friends across the north side for the new location.” Bier now has a presence in more than 350 local restaurants, bars and liquor stores, and they work with four Indiana distributors. Customer favorites include Weizengoot, a German-style Hefeweizen, Special Kolsch and PDG, an American pale ale. Bier has also taken home 73 Indiana Brewers’ Cup medals over the years, along with two gold medals at the 2016 Brewers Association World Beer Cup for Sanitarium and ESB (Extra Special Bitter). Bier has also won multiple medals from the Great American Beer Fest and recently received Silver for their Pumpkin Ale at the 2018 World Beer Cup. Proof of the Connors’ devotion to detail lies not only in the beer they crank out each week but even in the hardware they use. Darren designed Bier’s 65th Street facility and its refrigeration system, while Jerry specially crafts the tap handles. Those specially-made tap handles can be found at the Carmel location, too. Sarah Buschmann has been designing the blackboard at 65th St. for the last six years. She is bringing her talents to the Carmel Taproom as well. “You could call Darren the MacGyver of brewing,” Jerry says. “There isn’t anything he can’t fix or design and come up with. He’s got a stainless-steel welder that he goes to that helps us out.” Bier Brewery has 16 rotating selections and award-winning beer offered on tap at the Carmel spot. Unlike their original taproom, however, the new Carmel location is family-friendly, as of right now. Boombozz WestfieldMag.com / MARCH 2019 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / 5

provides finger-food options, while Puccini’s, located just next door, provides carry-in options to Bier Brewery as well. “We are just about ready to launch Charcuterie and specialty desserts made with our biers around the first of March,” Jerry adds. “It is a relaxed atmosphere just like our original location.”

Compassionate ER care when you need us most

The new Carmel Bier Brewery is more than twice the size of the original taproom off Binford. The Carmel taproom is 3,500 square feet with an additional roughly 800 square feet of kitchen and office space — plenty of space to accommodate staff, guests and families. The Carmel spot will also include a patio, which will be dog-friendly.

Back on Oct. 4, Bier partnered with JT Walker’s, a brewery in Illinois, to offer “Small-Town Hero” IPA in honor of Noblesville West Middle School teacher, Jason Seaman. The tapping party was a big success with profits from the beer sales going towards Seaman’s foundation. A second batch is being scheduled in the near future. The Connors are excited to bring that same kind of community focus to their new Carmel location. “Being involved in the community has always been a part of our business plan,” Jerry says. “There are a lot of community things happening in Carmel and Westfield, and we certainly want to maintain those ties. It will be fun. We will be seeing our Carmel & Westfield friends a lot more often at this new location.”

If you are experiencing a major emergency, go to the ER as soon as possible or dial 911.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a complete novice, there’s something for you at Pro X Athlete Development. Now open on the Grand Park sports campus in Westfield, Pro X aims to help athletes at all levels reach their potential. “It’s kind of hard to explain to people until they see it,” says Owner & President Joe Thatcher. “When you think of my career,

being a professional baseball player, you think we’re a baseball facility. But we’re a lot more than that.” Indeed, Pro X offers training for athletes of all kinds — including sport-specific skill development in baseball, softball, football, golf and soccer. But it also offers sportsrelated services in injury rehabilitation, physical therapy, performance, nutrition and psychology. Thatcher says Pro X caters to “any athlete of any age of any sport.” 8 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / MARCH 2019 / WestfieldMag.com

A former Major League Baseball pitcher, Thatcher now hopes to impart to others the wisdom he gleaned from performing at every level of sport. It’s an idea he developed with co-founder Dr. Jamey Gordon, who once served as Thatcher’s off-season trainer and now is Pro X Director of Athlete Development. “My career took me all over the country and to different parts of the world, and it opened a lot of doors for me,” says Thatcher, a Kokomo native. “I have an obligation to give to the next generation.”

In 2017, Thatcher says he and Gordon set out to open a facility that would teach the lifelong lessons sports can provide, a business that would offer “everything an athlete needs, in one building and one brand.” And that facility would be in Central Indiana, accessible not only to those in Indianapolis but also to those in surrounding areas. The realization of that dream, Pro X, features tens of thousands of square feet of open turf and a 50-foot ceiling. It houses 22 batting cages, a golf simulator, a weight room and a physical therapy area. But Thatcher says there’s something about Pro X that makes him even prouder than its state-of-the-art facilities. “We feel blessed to have the people we have involved,” he says. “We’ve got people who are doing this for the right reason. These are people who love sports and love what they do — being around kids and making a difference.” The Pro X staff includes former pros who, like Thatcher, once trained with Gordon. Former Colts players Dan Muir, Curtis Painter and Justin Snow are among those who offer instruction. “I want to provide the opportunity to get to know professional athletes,” Thatcher adds. “Hopefully when kids are around them, they’re watching what they do and how they carry themselves. It’s fun for us pro guys to interact with the kids and fun for kids to walk in and see professional athletes and know who they are.” Within days of opening at Grand Park in January, Pro X had athletes onsite training for the NFL Scouting Combine. But Thatcher says he’s just as interested in serving athletes like those struggling to make their high school varsity teams, or those working to catch the eye of college coaches. Even young children just learning about sports are a focus at Pro X. Also important to Thatcher is being involved in the success of Grand Park and Westfield. WestfieldMag.com / MARCH 2019 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / 9

“Being somewhere where sport is the focus of the community is important to us. I’ve never seen a complex like this,” he says of Grand Park. “We’re proud to be a part of it. Our being here is another feather in the cap for the city, leaders and citizens of Westfield.” Thatcher says Pro X has been well received so far, even from its earliest days at its temporary facility on Westfield’s Main Street. And now that Pro X is in its permanent home, he hopes to expand the business’s offerings to also cater to those who may not be athletes but simply want a boost to their fitness and health. His main goal, however, will continue to be shaping the lives of athletes. “If I can help any athlete experience half the things I did along my journey then I’ll feel like that’s a success for me,” Thatcher says. Pro X Athlete Development is located at 651 E. 191st Street in Westfield. To learn more, visit proxathlete.com or give them a call at 317-733-6000.

“I feel extremely humbled and honored to win,” Eggleston says. “My high school journey has been far from easy. During Student Impact, 536 North Union Street, my freshman year, I was diagnosed with Zionsville, is a safe place where students Crohn’s Disease, and missed a lot of school from grades 5-12 can build relationships because of it. I get sick easily and miss more that bring hope and healing. It was started in school than most people. It has taken a 1999 to be an environment where kids can lot of hard work and dedication to school

It’s hard to pin someone like Melody Barrows down. Not only is this Westfield High School senior an honor student who scored a five on her AP Psychology exam, but she is also a member of the Spanish Honor Society, a cadet student teacher and mentor, involved in community theater and has recently signed a letter of intent to wrestle with Adrian College in Adrian, Michigan next year.

Eggleston plans to study zoology in college. “Ever since I can remember, my favorite thing has always been animals, particularly of the mammal species, but still animals in general,” Eggleston says. “My dream job has always been something to do with animals, whether that was a veterinarian or a zoo keeper, I did not really know, but I knew it had to be with animals. “Once I started trying to narrow down my dream job, I knew I did not want to be a veterinarian, but that is about all I could figure out. I hope one day I can figure out what career I want, but for now, I know it must be working with animals.” Eggleston noted that Westfield has some of the best teachers. “Almost every single teacher I have had since first grade I have really liked. With Westfield teachers you can tell they want every single one of their students to succeed, and they try to make that happen. I have had so many teachers inspire me, and make me want to be a better person and student.”

“I started wrestling when I was in the sixth grade,” she says. “I knew my dad did it, so when the middle school team came around looking for new members, I asked for a piece of paper.”

Eggleston has a favorite teacher. “One teacher that will forever have a place in my heart and will forever be my absolute

Needless to say, her new athletic interest raised a few eyebrows from those who didn’t think it was appropriate for a girl to hit the mat, but Barrows would not be dissuaded. In an effort to ready her body for competition, she trained at a local gym before joining the team in the eighth grade. She said there were a fair amount of teammates who didn’t feel comfortable wrestling her, but eventually she won them over. “I worked hard to be accepted by my teammates,” she says. “I didn’t always have a practice partner. There were times I couldn’t get any matches at the meets because the other teams didn’t want to fight me. I get it, but it was hard to make people believe that I should be here.” WestfieldMag.com / MARCH 2019 / WESTFIELD MAGAZINE / 13

“Mrs. McKinney has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life,” she adds. “To this day, I try and see her at least once a week just to say hello or have a conversation. It is not only Mrs. McKinney at Westfield, but there are so many teachers like her. I know so many students that have a relationship similar to mine with a teacher and those relationships will stick with the students for the rest of their lives.” Eggleston says Student Impact of Westfield has also helped her tremendously. “I attend Student Impact every Monday and Friday and volunteer as an intern/ student leader every Tuesday and Thursday,” Eggleston says. “I love everything about this organization. I love the people who run it and attend it, what they stand for, what they do for Westfield, and everything in between. Eggleston is proud to say she have been a

Her persistence paid off and she’s proven herself to be one of the top female wrestlers on the Indiana Girls Team. During her sophomore year, Barrows took second place at the North Regionals and third place in the State Tournament for high school lady wrestlers. The following year, she took first place at the North Regionals and second at the State Tournament. She hopes to complete the circle this year by taking first at state. When she is not training, Barrows is involved in choir both at school and at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church. She also takes part in theatrical productions at Westfield High, Carmel Civic and Westfield Playhouse. “I’ve been in Guys and Dolls, Grease and Legally Blond and it’s a lot of fun,” Barrows says. “We do a play in the fall and a musical in the spring. In between those I wrestle so it all works out.” Barrows says time management is the key to keeping her various activities on schedule as well as the work ethic she learned from her parents Misty and Chris. She had no doubt that she will rely on those same skills next year when she is at college and striving to train, study and get the most from the experience. “I’m going to major in history education with a minor in theater so I am still going to be involved in productions as well as the wrestling team,” she says. “The good news is that they are willing to work with me in order to make it all fit so I won’t be pinned into one box any time soon.”
