Breweries
Bier Brewery and Taproom
You’ll never walk into this northeast Indy brewery and see the same menu twice. Bier Brewery, a father-son affair, serves up over 100 different brews annually while keeping the regulars satisfied with their ever-present Obi-Wan Kenobi décor.
Big Lug Canteen/Liter House
Big Lug was inspired by the foods, beers, and spirits that two self-identifying "big lugs" like to eat and drink. Located just off the Monon Trail in Nora, the relaxed vibe makes this a great place to enjoy the solid grub menu and no-nonsense brews. Enjoy the patio and outdoor bar when the weather allows. Big Lug beers can also be found at Liter House/Half Liter off the Monon Trail in the Sobro neighborhood.
Big Woods Brewing and Hard Truth
To drink heartily and with gusto is to "quaff" and Quaff On! Brewing Co. (supplying beer to all Big Woods locations) abides by that approach when it comes to creating their line of flagship, seasonal, and specialty brews. Big Woods has multiple locations surrounding Indy including Big Woods Speedway, Big Woods Franklin, Big Woods Noblesville, Big Woods Bloomington, Big Woods Pizza - Edinburgh, and Big Woods Pizza - Nashville. Additionally, Hard Truth Restaurant is a must-visit destination experience that is well worth the drive to Brown County for tours and an idyllic setting (pictured). Hard Truth also has outposts closer to Indy at The Garage at Bottleworks and The Fashion Mall.
Black Circle Brewing Company
Black Circle focuses on quality local craft offerings and brewing our own ultra small-batch versions of their favorite beer styles. A full menu is always available, whether you visit for the brews, live music, movies, or other entertainment. Don't forget your quarters for the vintage arcade games.
Black Swan Brewpub
With a slogan like "16 taps and no crap," you know you're getting a great craft beer. On Indy's southwest side, Black Swan's menu of comfort food with a twist pairs perfectly with a bold pint. The five-barrel brewhouse turns out porters to pale ales and everything in between.
Blind Owl Brewery
A family friendly gastropub just east of Broad Ripple, Blind Owl has 26 taps (six are for their own) and a variety of comfort food using items from the next door garden.
