9 Best Craft Breweries near Merrillville

“Best beer in between Treehouse and Monkish.“

“A group of us came here for the first time tonight and will definitely be back. Our server Brent did a great job with our party, our food was great and my espresso martini was amazing!“

“18th Street Brewery has excellent craft and Rye! Stopped in for the first time and really enjoyed the Pilsner. Support this Woman Owned Business and buy local. We’ll try the food next time. The bar keep Bruce was a lot of fun too! I highly recommend 18th Street Brewery in Miller Beach for craft brewed beer and distilled spirits.“

“I'll give 5 stars because I love Crown. I've always loved Crown. I probably always will love Crown. But I feel obligated to shout this from the rooftop...YOU GOTTA LOSE THE NEW BOOTHS IN THE TASTING ROOM. WORST IDEA EVER! I know the thought was to add more seating but this isn't it. It's off-putting, makes it seem more cramped, it's awkward, and uncomfortable. Reorganize if need be but make us all hoppy and bring back the high-tops.“

“Went here for a quick dinner, the service is fast, food is good, and the vibe is great! It’s very nicely decorated! Also, we had Bethany as our server, and she is AWESOME! She took good care of us, and was super nice. Give that girl a raise!“

“Always a great time with great food, excellent craft beers, and delicious cocktails.“

“When we went apple picking in NW Indiana near Chicago (Oct. '24), we discovered New Oberpfalz Brewing in Griffith, IN. What a great brewery+pub with outdoor and indoor seating to observe Oktoberfest! German cuisine on their menu was very typical of Gasthausen (guest houses) in Bavaria, The variety of their beers, lagers, and ciders created unexpected options to choose from to pair with the menu. The town of Griffith around the brewery has specialty shops to visit and there's a massive Serbian Orthodox Church on the edge of town with striking architecture. We plan to return to explore Griffith and tour New Oberpfalz' brewery.“

“Went for a Father's day meal, it was our first visit and will not be out last. The service, food and Beer were fantastic. Very clean atmosphere and one of the owners ( Al ) was very professional and friendly. Highly recommend it!“

“We love coming here, and the last couple times we’ve been here, we had Lauren as our server. She is amazing, sit in her section if you can. She’s great at her job. She brought us extra dipping sauces, was very timely, remembered us, was extremely kind, checked on us several times, brought us free samples of her beer recommendations (based off of our personal taste!); I can’t say enough about her! The curds are amazing, the beer is great, and we love everything we’ve tried so far. Get the pizza extra crispy when you go!“
