In an industrial area. Nice interior. Staff was extremely attentive and welcoming. Very nice selection of beers - very glad to see such a variety of ales, Belgian and German styles. Pretty convenient to I-69 and 465 for those passing through. Only wish they had later Friday hours - would stop all the time.

Small industrial feel to the building, and a pleasant malty aroma met me as I opened the door. Nice selection of some really solid beers, and the staff was great. Despite a steady stream of people coming in for growler fills, they were very friendly and attentive. I’m looking forward to future visits.

I was impressed by Bier. Small and really nowhere to sit, but the staff was incredibly friendly, and they had a nice selection of very good beers. Growlers only at the moment, but they’ll let you sample everything, which was cool. I’ll definitely be back.

Stopped here while in town and gotta say, it’s pretty awesome. Tiny brewery, basically a huge homebrew setup right now. But they make outstanding beer. Only had 4 on when we stopped in, though. Service was top notch and dug the clubhouse vibe they had going. Really cool place that I’ll definitely hit again. Growler only for now, but they have samples of everything on tap.

Ambiance is industrial chic, service can be a bit lacking on Fridays (they really need a bigger bar area) but if you go in there on a Wednesday expect to have a good conversation about beer. Good variety they tend to have 6 to 8 beers for sampling at all times. The variety goes from wheat beers up to some very nice porters. They don’t have any food but if your lucky there might be a food truck there on a Friday. The prices are kind of high from 12-17 bucks for a growler but they do sell half growlers that they fill for half price. Overall I’m glad to have this brewery in Indy.

Stopped in tonight, I guess after they closed. One of the guys working let me in, and there were a couple of other customers still there. They close pretty early (7pm) but they also don’t serve food so they can’t serve pints. These guys have a pretty nice tasting room with random cool things throughout. I guess there is a metal working shop nearby because they had some sculptures in the form of Star Wars characters and other metal artwork. The beer was decent and the samples were free and they had 8 different beers to sample. Beer here is sold pretty much for carryout in growlers and half growlers, but I was also told that they rent the space out for private parties and live music. The other intersesting thing is that the lineup of the available beers changes every week, one customer was talking up the Saison that was coming next week, but I’ll be out of town :(

Located in an industrial-feeling area. Big tasting room. Comfortable looking couch setup but no one took advantage of itas people were stopping by mostly for growler fills. The employees were on one hand nice, but on the other hand I felt rushed as I was trying my samples which did not leave me feeling inclined to take advantage of the aforementioned growlers. Growlers are cheap but growler fills are on the high side. The beers are fairly average though they do tend to have some solid wheat beers. Hoppy styles are over hopped and they tend to over carbonate.

And the service score plummets to the lowest possible score because Darren the brewer thinks that just because a competition liked his beer, that means I should like it, and that he should send me a note telling me so in a most rude fashion. Knocking the overall down as well to commensurate. It’s a shame, as this place clearly has a local following and they clearly have potential. Not that I’m from the area, but I was planning on returning next year and this is one place I surely won’t be visiting.

Just got an apology message from the brewer so I’m re-raising the scores a bit. Hopefully this saga is over.

You can smell the hops as soon as you step in. A pretty simple place with a lot of beer to sample. Brewers are nearby with a great staff.

Easy to find location on 65th Street. Parking in front. Small location with 6 table seats and 2 couches. Listing of brews on table with ordering at tap bar area. Freindly and prompt with fre samples of 7 to ten beers. Good beers. Small and regular growlers to go. Worth the visit when in area and I have been twice.

I live down the block and feel lucky to have such easy access to what I believe represent a solid round-up of rotated taps. Love the free tastes to set-up the purchase. Not cheap, but something good shouldn’t be. Really looking forward to the sour(s) he has planning.
