Wow I love this place! Half hidden city brewery, fun bar area, and they do it right! Glad to have a replacement for my dearly departed Escape Velocity who has gone up to that big vat in the sky leaving me with only Teays River for hearty dark stouts. But hey, enter Knapptronix and their wiley ways with sours, oh bless me! I've sampled most of the menu the past months now, eager for their winter stuff, can happily say it's all good. Rich, creamy, enticing on all sorts of flavors, and we have had excellent service too. Alas no foods but thankfully Revolution BBQ, Lafayette Brewing company, and a many other top notch option are on this main downtown drag. It is too easy for me to give a ten for anyplace service a quality spur yet they do more than one here! Come try everything and get a growler or two, I have and definitely will again.

Stopped in this weekend for the first time and had a nice time. The beer was very good for such a quaint brewery and the bartender (Kailyn) was so friendly. As we are new to the area, Kailyn was helpful in providing recommendations in the area and told us about various events hosted downtown. Excited to visit again and try new brews on their rotating taps.

This was one of my favorite surprises on my most recent visit back to Lafayette. Purdue wasn't known for craft breweries when I was in college but had Knapptronix been around, I would've spent a lot more time on the Lafayette side of the river. The brewery is right in the heart of downtown, near plenty of food options. It's a small space, but it's very cozy and welcoming. Ben the bartender did a great job of recommending beers and serving us promptly. The beers themselves were absolutely incredible. Mostly sours when we were there. After trying a pint at first, we decided we wanted to try everything that they made -- and so we did, in the form of a couple of flights. This is usually a risky proposition as some breweries do one or two types of beer well and some that are just meh, but Knapptronix was firing on all cylinders. Excellent beers, great service, and a cozy atmosphere. If you're driving through Lafayette any time soon, make sure you pop in because this place is terrific.

Great service and great beer!!

There is always something new to try at this brewery! Very cool atmosphere with science and music being the main themes. The owner is a chemical engineer so the short pours come in beakers!
Brendan Knapp
Very friendly staff, neat science vibe

Delicious IPAs and sours, great music and an amazing bartender. Their beers were way more interesting than any at the other breweries in town. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

Definitely the place to go. I love their sours. Service was excellent. They treat you like family. Don't just walk by, stop in and try one.

The welcoming atmosphere provided by a great bartender engaging a diverse crowd in discussion of beer made this small place a particular treat. A selection of beers that should be acceptable to just about anyone, too: worth a visit, for sure!
Great amazing ipa beer, friendly staff and location will definitely come back if I'm in the area

Best little brewery in Indiana! Every sour beer was fantastic. The atmosphere is laid back and Kalyn (so sorry if I butchered her name) is a gem. This is a fun little place to hang out and try some new beer. Check it out!

Great brewery! Not only is this place doing weird, new things but they’re doing them in a way that’s enjoyable! There’s no gimmicks here - just good, interesting beers.
