Where to Find Drink Flights Near Indianapolis
Published on
Do you ever hesitate to try something new at the bar and grill or local brewery because after all, it’s expensive to go out these days and what if you don’t like it?
Drink flights are usually three to five ounces of four to six different drinks. You may be able to choose from the menu or there might be a pre-selected combination.
It’s a taste test, if you will, and it makes me not regret my selection and gives the owner a shot at landing a loyal and consistent customer. When I initially thought of drink flights, I thought of beer and wine but have no fear, Hendricks County, Indiana, offers a little bit of everything.
