5 Best Craft Breweries near Bloomington

“We had a graduation party at Casper Brewing Company and it was absolutely perfect! Everyone was amazing to work with and the room is comfortable, with several tables and sitting areas. You can bring in your own food and the drinks are fabulous! We would definitely recommend Casper Brewing Company for your next party!“

“This is exactly what you want in a neighborhood brewery—friendly people, great beer, and a fun atmosphere. They don't serve food, but there are often food trucks parked outside and live bands playing on weekends, which makes for an awesome night out.

The staff is always welcoming and happy to help you find something you'll enjoy. If you like fruit beers, you have to try the blueberry wheat, Holey Jeans, and the raspberry wheat, Hose Slippers. Both are flavorful, refreshing, and among my favorite beers anywhere. They also brew some really solid IPAs with plenty of variety to keep things interesting.

A laid-back, friendly place with excellent beer and a great community vibe. Definitely a local gem!“

“Slightly out of the way location, but wonderful building & patio area. Nice bar and good seating. Excellent food and service. Lots of drink options both with & without alcohol. Friendly staff & atmosphere. Website makes ordering to go easy.“

“Absolutely a wonderful find !! We just loved the place, bartender was the best“

“Great find! So close to the highway, the food is surprisingly high quality with standards (Bavarian soft pretzel) and creative takes (chimichurri tofu as salad add-on) all prepared with craft. I did not expect to have such great tofu in Normal, Illinois. A shrimp ceviche appetizer was fresh and piquant, the chips seemed homemade. Someone in the kitchen cares about food.“
