24 Best Craft Breweries in Indianapolis

“Great experience! Not our first time here but an awesome place to meet up, especially for large groups. The place is huge. The beer is excellent, the food is just as great. Awesome service, plenty of parking, very clean. A very nice brewery to visit and probably a great time when the weather is nice.“

“great beer and great pinball lineup!“

“Great tasty brews and neighborhood gathering spot.“

“OMG We had the best experience since covid Our bartender Tyrone was amazing fun and fast smiling made our night Thank you Tyrone for making our night great !!!!“

“BEST BEER IN NORTH AMERICA!“

“Currently on tour with the west end hit Potted Potter. Me, the cast and crew had an absolutely fabulous time and were very well looked after. Savannah and Shane were extremely accommodating and helped us to find the right brews to match our taste buds! Best brewery ever! ❤️“

“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!“

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

“Great staff and beer! We love this place for large groups.“

“Absolutely AMAZING experience! My girlfriend and I were treated like royalty. Spilled a beer and they brought us a new one. They went out of their way to find a shirt in my size to purchase. The food and beer were great. We visit breweries in every city we visit and this is by far our favorite. 5 stars and we would recommend it to anyone! Even brought out kids and they have a kid menu and games to keep kids occupied! Couldn’t ask for anything better!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere and enjoyable staff, huge selection of cans in their fridge but no growler discounts which was odd to bring in my own to fill then discover not the deal it used to be. Tried the Teddy Bear but not for me, too bitter bad rugged, a pineapple chamomile sour was much better! Have enjoyed many of their other brews over the years at various places, can easily recommend!“

“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!“

“My Wife, Grandson and I stayed at the Bottleworks last week. Was the largest Coca Cola bottling plant in the world. Now it’s a very nice hotel. Located in an area with lots of shops and restaurants. We went to a place across the street called the garage. Lots of food and drink options. I had some Metazoa Hoppopatamus. That stuff is tremendous. I was able to find some in my hometown of Cincy. It has fantastic flavor. If you like Fat head HeadHunter you’ll like this too.“

“Food was amazing. Daredevil indy pizza was great and thin crust was crispy. No floppy pizza! Beer cheese with the breadsticks was spot on. My only negative was the beer choices were somewhat limited for a brewery and other than their #1IPA, the beer was so so in my opinion. I will be back for the food. Great location.“

“Came in with a comrade at 730pm on a Wednesday to a busier than expected hall. Had some beers, had some food, had good conversation. I had 2 of the house beers, one smokey porter I really enjoyed, and a DIPA that was so awful it was emotionally devastating. But that's on me, I hate hoppy beers. The big winner here was the pizza. A beer hall has absolutely no business making a better pie than most places that call themselves proper pizzeria. All the other food floating by to other tables looked great as well. Will definitely return.“

“Great venue! Secluded and and all the great fixings. Local beverages, friendly bartender and staff. Security was in the house. Music was excellent! I'm be honest was just right. Lighting and sound systems were definitely well thought of. Really cool decor especially in the bathrooms. Unisex bathrooms. Plenty of parking. Plenty of space. Will definitely come back for another live concert if the opportunity arises“

“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 by for dinner while visiting from out of town. The food and beer were great. I ordered the beef poutine and a the seasonal shandy. The shandy was the highlight of the night, make sure to get it before they take it off the menu. Since it is in a converted church, it gets extremely loud as they get busier.“

“Great Service, wonderful food and drinks had a blast ❤️‍🔥“

“We love Blind Owl. It’s a great place to meet friends for drinks or dinner. Our most recent visit, we started out with garlic cheese curds. I wish they had more garlic, but still pretty tasty. The breaded tenderloin is one of the best in town. There’s a reason we return.“
