27 Best Craft Breweries near Carmel

“Ask for Sarah, excellent service, drinks, and food!!“

“I fell in love with this restaurant from the very first bite!

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The Santa Fe salad was the star of the meal — honestly, I usually never finish an entire salad, but the mix of flavors was so fresh and tasty that I couldn’t stop eating it.

We also ordered mac and cheese, chicken tenders with fries, and the veggie pasta, and every dish was flavorful and well prepared. The atmosphere was wonderful, relaxed, and family-friendly. My daughters were able to play right in front of me while I enjoyed my meal, which made the experience even better.

Great food, great service, and a great environment for families. We will definitely be coming back!

Highly recommend!“

“Fun and enjoyable! Listened to him play in the past and tonight it was just so much fun for everyone. Enjoy!“

“Great place to visit any time of day. Every time I come home to Carmel from Colorado I make an effort to stop in. Great place to stop by for remote work during the day during summer months. Great selection of beers and the service is always on point. My most recent visit, Ian went above and beyond to get water for my dog and had great recommendations on top of being attentive.“

“We only stopped by for a beer. The service was excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food looked good but we already ate. Ordered the Church Milk Stout and it was delicious and smooth. At over 6% one was enough. Tried the Jack Ringo. Very hot finish!“

“Traveling from Michigan and came across Upland Brewing. Stopped in for a beer and a quick snack. The Juiced in Time Haze IPA and Two of Tarts sour were both amazing. The staff were great! And the food was tasty, we will definitely be back and highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

“Great place to hang out with friends“

“It's good!!! Not great. I do love that they have multiple fruited beers on the menu usually. There is definitely a beer on the menu for everyone! The food is also pretty good. The portions are a good size for the price and I enjoy the flavor combinations. The service can be super slow! Like takes so looooooong.“

“BEST BEER IN NORTH AMERICA!“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“Bret was the best server/bartender that we have had in a long time. So friendly and kind to us and are kids. The food and beer (& cider) were amazing as well. Can’t wait till we are back in town to come again! Thank you, Bret!!“

“Laid back atmosphere with a good variety of beers.“

“We held our October 2022 wedding ceremony and reception at Liter House and loved the experience! Drew and the whole event staff were helpful, kind, and easy to work with. We loved our brunch reception with delicious breakfast food and classic Sahm’s coffee cake. The event space is warm, inviting, and the right size to host lots of different types of weddings or gatherings. Also, the location is perfect - the Monon trail is a gorgeous place for pictures and features a lot of cool artwork/murals. I definitely recommend checking out Liter House for your event!“

“Great tap room on 46th and College south of broad ripple. Not as extensive of a list as the main Guggman location, but they have plenty on tap and to go.

Limited kitchen menu focusing on paninis, which were good, and appetizers.

They do have a little patio on the sidewalk as well. Employees are very nice!“

“Delicious Sunday brunch from Herd. Unusual but very tasty biscuits & gravy. Service was very helpful & friendly.“

“Excellent food and the employees are all amazing. We are always greeted with warm welcomes. Give King Jugg a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Heard good things about this place and they did not disappoint! Delicous beer and the bartender added 3 bonus tasters onto my flight. What a champ!Unfortunately there was a sign that said No Overnight Parking which really upsets me that they encourage drunk driving. The sign should say "If you've had too much to drink, please leave your vehicle here and take an Uber home."This is the first bar/brewery I've ever seen with a No Overnight Parking sign and I really hope it's my last.“

“If you haven’t been to GJ, what are you waiting for?!? We celebrated my husband’s 30th bday here and Amy took care of us all night. All of our friends and family commented how amazing she was! S/O Sharon and Wade (bartenders) and Matt (GM) for helping the party be a success! Beer is always good, but it’s the people at GJ that make us come back again and again. Thank you!“

“I stopped by this location of Upland to give their beers a try, so I can’t really speak to their food. That being said, the bar was comfortable and the staff seemed friendly. It wasn’t too busy when I was there, and they had a good selection of beers to choose from. The quality of the brews struck me as excellent, and they had quite a variety of styles. Each beer in my flight was good, and no single one stood out to me as my favorite. This location of Upland seems like a good hangout spot if you’re in the neighborhood.“

“We were apartment hunting and decided to check this out for dinner.
Great ambience and a great place to hang out.
We got a pizza brussel sprouts and a wedge romaine salad.
The pizza was thin crust and had great flavor.
Brussel sprouts was an interesting pairing with cherries and mustard seed...it worked well, I think maybe slightly less of the mustard would have been nice.
The wedge salad is a classic and they did a great job with that.“

“the two beers i had were the kind of ipas i like. refreshing and hoppy, but not overpowering.
extra innings and reunion.
i would have tried more, but it’s a long drive home.

fries were tasty.

i will return next time i’m passing by to try more.“

“Great place to relax and have a couple drinks with friends. Slushies are a must and highly recommend. Will be back soon.“

“Always a good time. Free comedy shows every Sunday (unless otherwise stated) great seating. Good food as well, although I believe the food comes from a separate business altogether.

Love the stellar 90s feels as you listen to vinyls and watch VHS tapes of everything you knew about growing up. No sound for those movies, but they are in yhe background playing every show!

Anything done at the black circle is worth looking into.“

“We tried @halfliter_bbq in #Indianapolis, and this is what we rated them. A couple of things first. It was their Octoberfest, so they were very busy. Even with that, the food was out in 6 minutes! Brisket 8.5. Bark was very good, and the meat fell apart. Pork 7.8. Smoked well, was just dry Chicken Breast 8.8 Best thing we tried here for sure. Smoked wings 6.5. Very good flavor, but it was super dry Turkey. 7.9. Thick and smoked well, just a little to dry for us Sausage 8.0. Good flavor with a little heat Also, the pickled onions were outstanding. If you are in Indy, I would definitely check it out. Check out more reviews on Insta at JoeAndJrkFoodReviews“

“I was in tonite and ordered to go; the Spicy Garlic Wings, the Hoss Dip, the Nashville Chicken Biscuits, and the Tommy Pizza. All of it, hands down PHENOMENAL!!! So good! The Pirate Cat Brown is a delicious beer for you to drink while waiting for your food! Will probably go back tomorrow nite! Im from out of town and this is close to Ironworks where I’m staying!“

“Stopped here on our way to see the speedway. Pizza was delicious, beer was great, service was top tier“

He set us up , 3 of us to begin and the Eric took control and was tge Best. Todd behind the Bar made excellent drinks for all of the people who joined are party. Bacce Ball was fun. Thanks for your great customer service, which is sometimes rare to find. The place was crowded so your doing it right. Ty again. 😎“
