Great people! Great beer! Great food! I was just surprised my black dog had to stay outside! ?

Sub par food none made in house. All pre made from a food service company. NOT family friendly. Most of the time the family room isn't open. I feel for you if you make a drive to visit only to have to leave. They can't decide what the rules are on the patio. Some customers have been told they can sit out there if you read the reviews. Some they interrupt their meal and ask them to move. I'm not impressed with their customer service. It's just a meh facility. Hit up Cedar Creek instead. They have better beer and food and they have excellent family friendly customer service.

Great local brewery—I’m not sure I’ve had a bad one from them. Stopped in for their special release Current Mood Vanilla Bean. Definitely recommend!

By far one of the best brewery experiences in central Indiana. The beers are delicious and the service is second to none. 10/10

Love Black Dog. Great beers, cool place and they are FANTASTIC hosts for our private event. Their private event room is perfect for groups. Service is outstanding.

Enjoyed the seltzer and loved the stout!

Being able to experience numerous breweries throughout my travels across this country has been fantastic. Today on my way home I randomly selected “breweries on route.” Although this spot was about 10 minutes from I-70, I was incredibly pleased by the pours, the staff, and the energy. They have a wide selection of home-grown pours, and for my taste, their IPAs were right on point! I ordered a flatbread from the kitchen and it was so delicious I ordered myself another! Super impressed that this establishment has a family room and a bar. They understand their crowd! Their expertise in beer crafting is evident. I highly recommend visiting this brewery, even if it means a slight detour of 15 minutes. It's definitely worth it!

Went in with my family, was told we had to leave because their family section was under construction but we'd be OK to sit outside in 30 degree weather with a 2yr old. Worst brewery ever!!

This is something the southwest side has desperately needed. A microbrewery with a cool atmosphere. They have a large selection of beers and also carry a rotating list of guest beers.
Really enjoyed Black Dog. Beer was wonderful and food was great! I had the Island Experience flatbread pizza. It was amazing.

Dropping in on a friend in the area, he recommended that we have dinner there and I was game. We both like brew pubs. He is native to the area. We have attended a few other establishments in the area and our favorite has dropped off our list due to the fact that they are an entire new establishment and I hate the rap and hip hop that they play.Anyway, this is not a review to slam someone else. Let me talk about what was so very good here.Prices were reasonable and the beers I had were quite nice. Lindsey was our server and she was very responsive and pleasant. She had enough time to chat a bit.My dinner was the toasted ravioli and I liked it quite a bit. There was a choice of spicy or regular pasta sauce to dip them in. I had the spicy and it was quite pleasant. There was sufficient to make a meal. My friend touted their flatbread pizza which he ordered and I passed on. There were a lot of toppings, but the serving size was a bit too big for him.The dining area was actually in the brewery. A tensor barrier was all that separated you from fermentation tanks and other equipment. I was a nice atmosphere.They have a mug club and my friend was interested as he is an intermittent regular. Forget about getting a mug as there is a wait-list of several years. I visit him two or three times a year and I believe this will be a regular stop for us.

It was ok. The I had the buffalo wings. They looked better than they tasted. The sauce was spot on and not too heavy, but the wings were soggy instead of crispy. They were hot temperature-wise, though. Had a beer. It was good, not as cold as I would have liked. Wanted to purchase a growler, but they didn't have them in stock. Server was nice. Water with the meal would have been ideal, especially since we had ordered beer. We also got a flatbread "margherita" pizza had tomato sauce and dried basil, but was good-ish. It also had some sort or balsamic reduction on it. It was a good place to stop, but it won't be on a repeat list for us.

Visited 9/20/23. Great Island Experience Flatbread pizza; nice spice on the chili sauce and good flavor throughout. Graffiti Road IPA was really nice, very smooth for its ABV and one of the better IPAs I've had lately. 2023 Anniversary was good, but would have been better on a cooler day (my fault, not their's), heavier beer with a nice winter flavor.
