This Crown is right by my brother’s house, so I always land here while visiting. They have a nice selection of stuff including locals like Upland and Sun King, but you can also land Three Floyds, New Belgium, and the like. The staff is a mix of normal folk and beer folk, as they do have sample tastings sometimes. Decent enough place, and I’ll keep coming back!

Stopped by here just because I drove by it. About a mile from my hotel. In a strip mall and the ambience inside is drab and cluttered. Fairly OK selection but the singles are weak and prices are high. The employees working did say hello but were unhelpful beyond that. Meh.

There are other Crown Liquors in Indy, unfortunately I went to this one. I understand there is a newer one that caters to us beer lovers, but this one isn’t it. There are some craft beers, but it is not a very impressive selection and the age on this stuff is either questionable or obviously old. I was happy to see Sprecher’s Octoberfest until I saw it had a few months worth of dust on it, so it was obviously last years. They had Avery 11 (two years old now) that I got out of curiousity to see how it would be this old. The staff was nice, but didn’t seem to know anything about beer. If you are going to Crown while in town, make sure you find out which is the best beer shop - this one isn’t it. I’ll find out for next time.

A diamond in the ruff. Came across this place while in Indy on business. There were no RateBeer places anywhere near the area of Indy that I was in. My group stopped here to pick up some wine for a client dinner and I was given the liberty of selecting some beer. Very surprising and good selection. Ended up with 3F Alpha King and Alpha Klaus and Bells Kzoo Stout. Place was well stocked with some signature Midwest beers - 3F, Arcadia, Bells, etc. along with other more popular micros - Avery, Great Divide, Anchor, Great Lakes, etc. Not many surprises but quite a few staples to pull from.
