LOGANSPORT – After a long wait, a new restaurant and brewery has opened in Logansport.

Science Project Brewing Company officially opened its doors last weekend.

The Science Project, 611 North St., Logansport offers a wide variety of beers, drinks, pizza, and more as your business grows.

For owner Tim Eaton, starting a business was an opportunity to feel part of his adopted community.

“I grew up in Flint, Michigan,” he said. “There are a lot of similarities between an industrial zone and a hollowing out town. Lots of economic base types like foliage. The good guys are still there.”

He hopes customers will find a fun and energetic atmosphere when they finally arrive.

“Everyone in town has a niche. We want to carve out a little niche here,” Eaton said. “Beer you can’t taste anywhere else. It’s a chance to have a different experience.”

Brewing started on July 8th. According to brewer Cody Moon, there are currently eight Science Project beers on tap. There’s even a wheat beer named after Logansport’s first saloon, the Chamberlain Tavern. The Science Project will also feature Indiana’s Brewers Cup award-winning beers over the next few weeks.

“We will have a wide range,” said Moon. “We’re not going to be a big IPA house or a heavy-duty house. Our goal is to make something light, hoppy, sour, seltzer-like and totally unrelated to beer.”

Business pizza is Neapolitan style, invented by Michael Alvarez.

“It’s so thin, so fluffy, so crispy,” he said.

He said there are variations that most people don’t experience with Logansport pizza, such as steak, honey, and apple.

It was important to Alvarez to create something new for the community, not trying to compete directly with the many local pizzerias in town, seeing some of them as mentors.

Over time, Alvarez hopes to expand the menu with appetizers and pastas.

It’s important for everyone involved in science projects to use as many local products as possible.

“We want our ingredients to be very fresh and very clean,” Alvarez said.

The artwork on the exterior of the building is also local.

The mural above the foyer, which features a volcano and a rocket ship, was painted by artists Siena Yvette Urbina, Abigail Carman, Kelsey McKay, and Carrie Hayden, with contributions from Hayley Tub and Cary Snodgrass.

Eaton hopes those interested in breweries outside of Cass County will visit and discover places like Bonus Pint, Black Dog Legacy, or You Know Pizza and Bruno’s Pizza.

Eaton asked customers to wait patiently until the store opened. After all, this is a science project.

“This is a new endeavor and we will make mistakes,” he said. “But we’re going to do everything we can so people can walk away feeling they had a good time.”
