Production & Heritage

Sun King Brewing operates out of Indianapolis and holds the distinction of being the largest brewery in the city and second largest in the state of Indiana. The brewery has invested heavily in its quality control program, adding a centrifuge and a rotary canning line designed to maintain a 90-day level of freshness across its packaged lineup. The Seasonal 6-Pack draws from Sun King's broad portfolio, featuring limited-run styles that rotate throughout the year and are not part of the year-round core range.

Tasting Notes

Because the Seasonal 6-Pack is a rotating lineup, specific tasting notes shift with each release cycle. Sun King's seasonal offerings have historically spanned a wide range of styles — from malty, warming fall ales to lighter warm-weather sessionable brews. The common thread across releases is the brewery's emphasis on balance, drinkability, and quality control that keeps each can tasting fresh through its shelf life. Check the packaging or brewery release notes for current style-specific flavor profiles.

How to Drink Sun King Seasonal

Pour into an appropriate glass for the style at hand — a tulip or snifter for darker, higher-ABV seasonals, or a shaker pint for lighter styles. Serving temperature matters: richer, malt-forward seasonals benefit from a slightly warmer pour around 50°F, while crisp, hop-driven releases shine closer to 40°F. Since contents rotate, each pack is an opportunity to experiment with glassware and serving approaches.
