What to Expect

The Venue: Guggman Haus Brewing Co.

The idea for Guggman Haus Brewing Co. took shape in 2015, when identical twin sisters Courtney Guggenberger and Abby Gorman, along with their husbands Derek and Ryan, began dreaming up something of their own. The Guggenbergers brought with them a deep appreciation for quality beer shaped by time spent living in Germany, while the Gormans drew inspiration from Denver’s mountain culture and thriving craft beer scene.

From my perspective, it’s some of the best beer in the city—full stop.

They typically have 20+ beers on tap, and there’s truly something for everyone. My personal go-to is the Great Day, a smooth, approachable West Coast IPA. Their specialty leans toward nuanced NEIPAs, but don’t overlook the sours—they’re outstanding, and you’ll usually find several on tap. Honestly, they don’t make bad beer. It’s all good.

And the food holds its own.

The Guggman Kitchen offers a wide range: sandwiches, burgers, pulled pork nachos, fries, Haus Schnitzel, and a rotating specials menu that keeps things fresh. If you need a recommendation—get the soft pretzel.

The vibe? Welcoming, relaxed, and built for lingering. Whether you’re there to hang out, catch up, or settle in for live music, it’s the kind of place that makes it easy to stay awhile.

The Band: A.M. Radio Indy

A.M. Radio Indy might just be one of Indianapolis’ best-kept secrets.

The duo—Adam Zoibi and Mark Munz—create music that feels both intimate and expansive. Their original work taps into the human story in a way that’s honest, reflective, and quietly powerful.

I got to play a Micro Desk Concert with Adam this morning, and he performed an original song called “Montana.” Afterward, someone in the audience said, “I came thinking I would be entertained—I didn’t expect to be moved.” That pretty much says it all.

Their musicianship is subtle but incredibly strong—nothing flashy for the sake of it, just deeply intentional playing that serves the song. And then there’s Adam himself: gregarious, engaging, and effortlessly connecting with the room. People don’t just listen—they get pulled in.

There’s something fitting about their rise happening in breweries—places rooted in craft, patience, and authenticity. Much like a well-brewed beer, A.M. Radio’s music takes its time. Their songs unfold deliberately, revealing layers of vulnerability and resilience.
