27 Best Craft Breweries near Carmel

“This brewery has such a great food! You can grab a beer inside and take it outside with your food from any of the vendors, which makes for a nice, relaxed setup.

One tip: check the menus posted on the door, then follow the signs to find the food vendors. It can be a little confusing to navigate at first, so just give yourself a minute to figure out the flow.

Overall, a solid spot with good variety and a laid-back vibe!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great place to hang out with friends“

““Fishing for Hopliments” was delicious.

Ordered a to-go order of boneless wings. Bartender even looked in the bag to double check the order. Got back to the hotel and they were bone-in wings. Very disappointed.“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great experience!! Small little place with great character. I've seen several questions about the setup for concerts. Standing room only but there is a Hightop behind the bar with 10 or so seats. There is open door in the back the leads to where you can get food and play pinball“

“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.“

“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.“

“Been staying at the iron works hotel a lot due to having to be in Indy a lot lately. This place is basically attached to the hotel. We have had the pizza, burgers, black bean burger and beers. I did see a review their their soda is not the best and i will agree with that we couldn’t even drink it so not sure what’s up with that but we have been back so much because everything else is great. We will be back again at the end of the month and plan on going back. They were out of 4 packs of beer the last time to go and i was wondering why they couldn’t just sell 4 cans separately but hopefully they have them back in stock.“

“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“

“We have been going to Blind Owl since they have opened love what they have done outside, However we did not realize they were having music when we asked to sit outside, OMG it was so loud you can not even carry on a conversation, I wish it was more of a back ground music, we met our friends we had not seen in 4 yrs there and we finally had to leave because it was difficult to talk.“
