25 Best Craft Breweries in Indianapolis

Guggman Haus Brewing Co. Brewery • $$
1701 Gent Ave, Indianapolis

“Stopped by for some dinner with my daughter. One of only a handful of breweries that I'm aware of that are kid-family.The outside area was nice, a little too chilly for me on this visit, but others were out there by heaters. The food was good. The restaurant staff was nice even when I clearly hadn't been there before and asked a dumb question. Bar staff was friendly as well. Only had one beer and it was pretty good.Will have to try them again on another trip.“

Deviate Brewing Brewery • $$
4004 W 96th St, Indianapolis

“Positive energy at a nearby watering hole. There are several of possibilities available to everyone of them. Make sure to view the artwork created by nearby artists; nearly all of it is available for purchase. Should you want to throw some bags, there's a corn hole on the patio. They don't have a kitchen, but they do provide bread sticks, Broadripple bagel chips, and Greek pizza available by the slice. Since everyone is quite talkative, you might meet some new people. Have fun!“

Black Circle Bar • $
2201 E 46th St, Indianapolis

“A wicked venue with their own brews and their own liquors that they make on site. Their bourbon is on point and highly recommended by this connoisseur. Their Vodka is very smooth as well. Get in there and enjoy a show and some drinks. I went in there for the first time last night and it's honestly a place I'd love to spend more time in. Great bands and great drinks.“

Garfield Brewery Brewery • $
2310 Shelby St, Indianapolis

“Great selection of beer, good prices, love the atmosphere, bathrooms, and bar area clean and welcoming. Small business and a great stop for anyone who loves microbrew. Can get full pours or even do a flight to see what you like before you get a full pour. They also feature local artists, have beer yoga, live music now and then, and serve some snacks (no on-site kitchen) have indoor and outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Dogs welcome in the outside seating area. I have been going there since at least, 2018.Just a few pics of the brews I love there. But not all of them, that I love. ? (I like Darks/Stouts and coffee flavored beers)“

“Friends, if you’ve not been to Traders Brewing Company yet, run, don’t walk. Check out the Trippy Little Hippy, it’s delicious.

We can’t wait to go back.“

“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!“

Bier Brewery & Tap Room Brewery • $$
5133 E 65th St, Indianapolis

“Bier is a laid back brewery. They have an outdoor patio, and are dog friendly. They don't serve any food, but you are able to order delivery. They had a lot of TVs and it would be a great place to watch a game. I tried the pumpkin ale; they also offer flights. They have all the awards their beer has won displayed on the wall.“

Liter House | Banquet Hall Brewery • $$
5301 Winthrop Ave suite b, Indianapolis

“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!“

Triton Brewing Company and Bistro Brewery • $$
5764 Wheeler Rd, Indianapolis

“Triton was my first love in the craft beer game, and continues to knock it out of the park in the Lawrence area. The railsplitter IPA is a staple in Indiana craft beer, and they really do a great job with all of their beer styles (special shout-out to their sours as well). The fried mushrooms are legitimately the best I've ever had, and I've been known to make a trip to the area just for a plate of them. Very cool vibes, friendly staff, and an outstanding food/beer menu; what more could you ask for??“

The bartender (we forget her name but she has a shiba inu) was awesome- she had some great suggestions for us in town and for our next stop on our road trip! She also helped point us in the direction of some excellent beer choices suited to our tastes- I loved her suggestion, Iridescent, and took 2 to go! :)“

“Came here on a very busy Sunday night. The hostess was incredibly friendly, updating us with our wait time frequently. Our waiter was nice but forgot about us so we were sitting about 30 minutes before we could place our order.But the food made up for all of that. My husband and I split the bison meatloaf and the pub burger. Both were delicious but the meatloaf was the star of the show. Best meatloaf I think I’ve ever had in my life!! The beer was also really good, and the atmosphere was cool.Parking: Street parking in the neighborhood. There were options if you’re okay to walk.“

“Really nice brewery in Speedway, just down the road from the Indianapolis Speedway. Good selection of a variety of beers, the hazy was great and the German style beers were spot on. Had the pizza and it was delicious. The personal is perfect size for one hungry person. Lots of free parking out front and a garage nearby. They also have a patio for nice days.“

Metazoa Brewing Company Brewery • $$
140 S College Ave, Indianapolis

“Hands down my favorite brewery, even before I became a dog mom I would frequent Metazoa. Now that I have a high energy and super social pug I'm here more than once a week. Their mug club membership is totally worth it. Their reward system is top tier, I'm actually able to rack up points pretty quickly without even trying. Chill atmosphere for the most part, does tend to get busy on the weekends. My pups and I love coming here!!!“

Sun King Brewery Brewery • $

“The OG Sun King location! I've been coming since the start of this space (back when hot pockets were on the menu #iykyk) and it's been so much fun to watch things grow. They offer alllll the selections and special batches, in addition to cocktails and seltzers. Not drinking? No problem, a few N.A. options as well. No babysitter, no problem as they the space is all ages on one side. Not to mention a dedicated parking lot which is hard to come by in downtown. Lastly, they have NACHO inside the brewery for all of your hunger needs! Nachos to share, tacos and chips with dips! Definitely check it out with friends or a date if you're downtown!“
