items 10, 11, and 12 — the modern record tested as one sweep

The craft era never opened here: the 2026 business roll, read whole as a craft test for this section, names no brewpub, craft brewery, taproom, or theatre-brewery in New Carlisle — the county's craft houses, from the theatre-brewpub first of the floor's pattern onward, stand in South Bend and Mishawaka and belong to those builds. The firsts print with their "documented" carried, as the floor requires: no first documented distillery of the modern era stands on this ground — the state's first-documented modern house of the pattern is the county seat's, pointed to, not claimed — and no documented vines stand in this township in the state winery-permit record reached; the words distillery and vineyard occur nowhere in the banked set because the things occur nowhere on the ground. The smallest form closes the sweep at its true size: no meadery-winery, at Perry Vine's scale or any other, is permitted or seated here. The leg's modern article is therefore a single dated finding — as of November 2026, this township's drink-making record stands exactly where its 1880 record stood: none, inside a county whose cities hold the whole of it.
