Indy Brew Trail
Indianapolis is a hotspot of brewing activity. Free thought, passion, and attention to detail, has made a number of established and new breweries quite successful. I drive down there just to visit these breweries and have a relaxing weekend. It's worth the trip.
In talking to friends and strangers, I've found that many people outside of Indy don't know of the wonders of Indianapolis brewing.
To help out, I've put together a map to outline the hotspots. I've put some short notes in to give you an idea of what you are getting when you visit, so you can plan accordingly. Some are just pick-up and tasting locations, some offer pints, some are full bars and restaurants. Some have tours too, if you want to check out their operations. All are staffed by a wonderful, passionate, group of beer-lovers.
Fair warning, this is Indy, not a major metropolitan area. There really is no public transport to speak of, and these spots are far enough apart to require drive time. Do not drive after visiting and tasting. Bring a designated driver.
