Ruhe 152 for Fall Spirits

Ruhe 152 for Fall Spirits

 

Ruhe 152 is in the heart of Amish Country in Nappanee, where the town’s motto is Embrace the Pace.  “Ruhe” draws from the Amish word for relax; so this craft brewery and distillery is just the place to take it easy this fall.

The superb menu and funky ambiance offers exquisite family dining and an upper loft featuring comfortable sofas and lounge seating.

The Taproom has a more rustic and laid-back ambiance, allowing guests to enjoy a view of the brewing and distillery equipment, complete with large-screen TVs for catching your favorite sports teams in action.  After all it is fall… and football is back!
