26 Best Craft Breweries in Indianapolis

“I love this spot, there are video games, pin ball machines, you can even play Nintendo if you ain't got money for the video games. they have great craft beers, little bar type food and the service is unbeatable. The owners are amazing people that stay on site when it's open and meet everyone as if they already knew them. if you haven't checked out this little gem you might want to swing by and do just that“

“Normally when you go to a brewery, you don’t expect good food. This is not true for Guggman Haus. Fantastic food, great portions, and a delicious beer to pair. There’s a beer for everyone too! (IPA, wheat, stout, even non-alcoholic).

One of my favorite and regular places to go.“

“We had a college reunion here and it was perfect. The drinks were great and the vibes were immaculate. Not too busy for a Saturday night which was pleasant. I would recommend if you’re looking for a lowkey brewery, and it’s family friendly!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I stumbled upon this spot by accident, but it made for a great find. I hadn’t heard of the brewery they carry products from before, but the beers I tried were very nice. It was easy to drink stuff. The place itself is comfortable with a decent bar upstairs and a nice assortment of pinball machines in the basement. It’s got a little something for most people. The bartender was also very friendly and offered me some useful tips about the city. Overall, I had a good time and wouldn’t mind coming back at all.“

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

“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!“

“I visited Fountain Square Brew while they weren’t so busy, but the staff and the other customers were friendly and welcoming. I liked the place. It’s a bit industrial feeling, but the beers were decent. The flight was a good value, and it gave me a chance to try a good range of their brews. The place also seems dog friendly (I think), but there are also at least 1-2 cats in the place, so please be aware. This seemed like another nice neighborhood brewery. Give them a try if you like craft beer.“

“I’ve never been to a brew house quite like this one! They are kind, accommodating, and super friendly!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Daredevil Brewing made for a pleasant end-of-night stop. It wasn’t too busy when I visited, but the place was comfortable and decently cozy. The staff was professional, and I was served at the bar quickly. I tried a flight of their beers, and the quality seemed high to me. I really liked their Berliner, as it was refreshing and tart while staying well-balanced. This is definitely a good brewery, and it’s worth a try if you’re nearby.“

“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“

“buena botana muy buenas micheladas muy buen sonido y musica a gusto personal y sobretodo muy buena atencion 👌“

“The food was delicious, the beer was amazing, and the atmosphere was eclectic and incredibly inviting. Sitting and having a few cold beers in a giant, open-concept church makes for such a cool environment to hang out with good company! On top of that, it’s very kid-friendly with great food options for the little ones. Highly recommend“

“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!“
