14 Best Craft Breweries near Greenwood

“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!!“

“I love that I can have food with my cocktails. Great Place.“

“Delicious food, great service, and great beverages.“

“Decent local brewery with some national brews.“

“Alright y’all…. If you’ve never been to Smocktown what are you even doing?! Nestled into Old Towne Greenwood sits this little gem. Modern industrial vibes but warm. There’s the main bar downstairs but venture up and you’ll find you’ve slipped into the sexiest little speak easy vibes. I love popping in here! Keep an eye on their socials…. They are a busy bunch with open mic nights, live acoustic sets, music bingo, and a slew of other things.

Now enough about the vibes let’s talk about the people. The way these folks hustle thru narrow spaces and can handle a bustling bar top…. Love it here! I love coming in just to see what new delish concoctions Rachel has come up with! You want a cutie little girly pop drink… she’s got you. You want something a little stiffer…. She’s got you…. And I’m a brat when it comes to margaritas and she slays it EVERY time!

Look at these drinks y’all 😍“

“Look, I could go on about how awesome the staff is here. I could go on about how relaxing the environment is in the facility. But what I’m gonna ramble on about is how good that beer is. I just finished a growler of the Angry Cricket IPA and the taste alone is enough to have you coming back for more, let alone the nice ride it takes you on.

Nailers is a sleeper in this area. Support their business. That beer is dangerous.“

“Great tasty brews and neighborhood gathering spot.“

“We met with Chilly Water staff and management to discuss an upcoming event partnership. I had not been to this spot before. Very clean, comfortable, and friendly. I tried a couple of beers and took some home. Very good! We went ahead and grabbed lunch before leaving and was not disappointed!“

“Fountain Square Brewery – A Hidden Gem with a Heartbeat

First time visiting Fountain Square Brewery, and we were drawn in by comedy night — with free entry! We found them on eventbrite. Honestly, how many breweries host live comedy? Major respect to the amateur comedians who got up there and shared their work with a room full of strangers. It takes guts, and we loved the supportive atmosphere.

We were delighted to find out this brewery hosts different events every week — not just comedy! It really shows their commitment to supporting local talent and keeping things fresh for the community.

The beer prices were another surprise — two drinks for under $12 in this day and age? Practically unheard of. On top of that, the craft beer selection was top-tier, with a variety of styles to suit every taste. I appreciated that they also had cider on draft from another Indiana brewer — a nice touch that shows they support other locals too

We were delighted to find out this brewery hosts different events every week — not just comedy! It really shows their commitment to supporting local talent and keeping things fresh for the community.

The real stars of the night? The owners, who were the ones working behind the counter. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming — we had such a great chat with them. You could feel their passion for the space and the community. This spot is one of the original breweries in Indianapolis, and it’s clear the new owners have worked hard to breathe life back into it. There’s local art on the walls, free popcorn, pinball machines, and a stage for live events. We learned they try to bring in a local band every Friday, and even host unique events like a psychic party featuring mediums and spiritual readers. I mean, how many other places offer that kind of variety?

The vibe was chill, welcoming, and genuinely fun. It’s the kind of place that works for a date night, a night out with friends, or just dropping by solo. Best part? It’s in a walkable area, so you can grab food nearby and bring it back to the bar while you enjoy your drink. Fountain Square Brewery isn’t just a bar — it’s a community hub. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Visited Shale Creed Brewing for an early dinner. Enjoyed a SPECIAL that night - BBQ Brisket Sandwich. And with the skilled service by Monica. She was great. I'd want to have her on my staff - if I had a staff. But the highlight of the meal was the French Fries. They receive my BEST FIRES OF 2024 award. I don't think they can be topped. I'll be back.

Franklin is a really cool town BTW. Visit and stop at Shale Creek Brewing.“

“great selection of IPAs!“

“great selection of IPAs!“

“This place is awesome! Great vibes, great food, great drinks. I'm normally plain as can be (burger, only mustard.) Mikey recommended the Hard Truth Whiskey burger and it was life changing. Burger was delicious, service was excellent. Can't wait to return! Sorry, didn't take pics as I devoured it and and drank all the beer!“
