“It’s Not About The House, It’s About The People.”

Meet Joe, Meg, and Teresa owners of 219 Taproom in Downtown Chesterton. 219 Taproom offers a unique experience of specialty craft beers, good food, live events, and community givebacks.

“…we know it’s a great place to come for a good meal and a good beer.” Said Joe in his interview with Lynda Anderson owner of Boulder Bay Realty Group, and founder of the Lynda Anderson Team. “We love our craft beer. We also created really good food to go along with the beer.”

They offer an assortment of appetizers, flatbreads, sandwiches, and even tacos. But it’s their beer that really steals the show. Their craft beer comes from carefully selected breweries all across Indiana. Meg explains, “…every beer that you see on our menu is not available in Northwest Indiana, except for here.” 219 Taproom truly is a one-of-a-kind establishment.

They also host a number of live events on the weekend, and they take the time to support local organizations on their Giving Thursdays.

Giving Thursdays are a way for 219 to give back and help support their local community. “ …we have a different cause for each Thursday and all tips that are generated, cash or credit card, go to that cause.” Said Teresa. “…we raise some pretty good money.” The owners are usually the ones that cover the Giving Thursday shifts, so no employee has to give up their tips.

If you are planning a visit, 219 Taproom offers carryout, curbside delivery, dine in, and patio seating weather permitting. Their hours of operation are:

Sunday - 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Mon – Tue - Closed

Wed – Thu - 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Friday - 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Saturday - 11:00 am - 9:00 pm

Next time you are in the Downtown Chesterton area, stop by 219 Taproom to try one of their delicious craft beers and some of their tasty food, and remember the 219 motto/mission, “Drink good beer. Do good deeds.”

Meet Ryan Eberhardt the Executive Vice President at Diamond Residential Mortgage Corporation in Valparaiso. Ryan has been nationally recognized as one of the top loan officers in the country! He and his team are ready to help you with any of your home loan needs.

“Just the people and seeing the emotions and how happy they are, it’s awesome. It’s a great part of the job.” Ryan says in his interview with Lynda Anderson owner of Boulder Bay Realty Group and founder of the Lynda Anderson Team.

Ryan has been in the mortgage loan business for over 19 years. He’s been hustling from the beginning, gaining the title of one of the Top Rookie Originators in 2004, as well as one of the top 100 FHA/VA Originators in 2005.

He started on his career path after learning what the industry had to offer at the urging of his father.  “I kind of just followed in my Father’s Footsteps.” Ryan says, as he explains why he choose his current career.

While there is no denying Ryan is a trailblazer in his field and is great at what he does, it’s why he does it that makes his career worthwhile. Ryan explains, “There’s no greater satisfaction in my eyes in this industry then helping a single mom with kids that never realized that they can buy a home, and get them into their first home. Helping a retired couple … that has fixed income, you know, qualify and get them into their long-term retirement home.”

The dedication and care he and his team put into each and every transaction is what makes them the best at what they do.

At Diamond Residential Mortgage Corporation, Ryan offers many different products to help everyone on their path to homeownership.

Top Diamond Mortgage Products:

Conventional Loans

FHA Loans

VA Loans

USDA Loans

Down Payment Assistance Programs

Construction Financing for New Homes

Renovation Loans

Refinancing

Ryan’s biggest advice to any potential client hoping to own their own home is that it never hurts to ask. So, if you have any questions, or are thinking about purchasing a home, refi, new construction, pretty much anything financial, give Ryan a call. He’ll put you where you need to go.
