27 Best Craft Breweries near Carmel

“Ask for Sarah, excellent service, drinks, and food!!“

“We only stopped by for a beer. The service was excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food looked good but we already ate. Ordered the Church Milk Stout and it was delicious and smooth. At over 6% one was enough. Tried the Jack Ringo. Very hot finish!“

“Randomly stopped by today on a Sunday and the atmosphere was so chill and relaxing. Cocktails (Manhattan & Espresso Martini) were banging, and even had a chance to try their new Charbroiled Oysters! Bread Pudding is unique and different, more like cubed Deep Fried French Toast Sticks. Everything was delicious! Service was impeccable.“

“Fun and enjoyable! Listened to him play in the past and tonight it was just so much fun for everyone. Enjoy!“

“So I came into Sun King with a previous colleague of mine from Chicago. The beer was cold and a great selection, the Birria was the best I’ve had and our Server, Taylor F was incredible. She knew exactly when u needed a new beer, was quick clearing off the table and had a great understanding of the beverages. Ask for Taylor F the next time you’re in Sun King Carmel.“

“Great place to hang out with friends“

“Great food, beers, and service!“

“BEST BEER IN NORTH AMERICA!“

“Another wonderful experience! Every time we visit we have a great time. The beer is excellent; our favorite in central Indiana and certainly Hamilton County. The space is relaxing and the staff knowledgeable, hospitable and enjoyable! Do yourself a favor and visit soon!“

“Great tap room on 46th and College south of broad ripple. Not as extensive of a list as the main Guggman location, but they have plenty on tap and to go.

Limited kitchen menu focusing on paninis, which were good, and appetizers.

They do have a little patio on the sidewalk as well. Employees are very nice!“

“Laid back atmosphere with a good variety of beers.“

“the two beers i had were the kind of ipas i like. refreshing and hoppy, but not overpowering.
extra innings and reunion.
i would have tried more, but it’s a long drive home.

fries were tasty.

i will return next time i’m passing by to try more.“

“Bret was the best server/bartender that we have had in a long time. So friendly and kind to us and are kids. The food and beer (& cider) were amazing as well. Can’t wait till we are back in town to come again! Thank you, Bret!!“

“Heard good things about this place and they did not disappoint! Delicous beer and the bartender added 3 bonus tasters onto my flight. What a champ!Unfortunately there was a sign that said No Overnight Parking which really upsets me that they encourage drunk driving. The sign should say "If you've had too much to drink, please leave your vehicle here and take an Uber home."This is the first bar/brewery I've ever seen with a No Overnight Parking sign and I really hope it's my last.“

“I love Four Day Ray! Anytime someone is coming to my side of town to eat it is my go to suggestion, and have never been let down by the food.
I went with my sister and dad tonight to commemorate 10 years of my mom’s passing. Our server, Heath, maybe did the math when “anniversary” was on our reservation… either way we felt above and beyond cared for during our dinner. Happy in our decision of where to go for such an occasion!“

“Delicious Sunday brunch from Herd. Unusual but very tasty biscuits & gravy. Service was very helpful & friendly.“

“A great local place in an awesome location with very genuine and attentive likable staff. I don’t normally eat where I tend to drink (weird I know) but this is different because their food is lovely and reasonably priced. Everything on the menu has been great that I have tried. In essence I love popping in here after a busy day at work as there is always a nice buzz going on. Staff love working here (very apparent) and rubs off on the customers with their charm and humour. Great drinks specials all week and a farmers market right next door on a Wednesday is a nice touch. Live bands at weekends! A great escape from the humdrum of bougie upstart breweries and restaurants in the “so bro” area

Parking: Lots of parking in the lot alongside the bar“

“Excellent food and the employees are all amazing. We are always greeted with warm welcomes. Give King Jugg a try, you won’t be disappointed.“

“We held our October 2022 wedding ceremony and reception at Liter House and loved the experience! Drew and the whole event staff were helpful, kind, and easy to work with. We loved our brunch reception with delicious breakfast food and classic Sahm’s coffee cake. The event space is warm, inviting, and the right size to host lots of different types of weddings or gatherings. Also, the location is perfect - the Monon trail is a gorgeous place for pictures and features a lot of cool artwork/murals. I definitely recommend checking out Liter House for your event!“

“If you haven’t been to GJ, what are you waiting for?!? We celebrated my husband’s 30th bday here and Amy took care of us all night. All of our friends and family commented how amazing she was! S/O Sharon and Wade (bartenders) and Matt (GM) for helping the party be a success! Beer is always good, but it’s the people at GJ that make us come back again and again. Thank you!“

“Came in with a comrade at 730pm on a Wednesday to a busier than expected hall. Had some beers, had some food, had good conversation. I had 2 of the house beers, one smokey porter I really enjoyed, and a DIPA that was so awful it was emotionally devastating. But that's on me, I hate hoppy beers. The big winner here was the pizza. A beer hall has absolutely no business making a better pie than most places that call themselves proper pizzeria. All the other food floating by to other tables looked great as well. Will definitely return.“

“If you haven’t been to Urban Vines, you definitely need to check it out. The outdoor ambiance and live music make this the perfect place to enjoy a glass (or bottle) of wine with friends or family!“

“Great venue! Secluded and and all the great fixings. Local beverages, friendly bartender and staff. Security was in the house. Music was excellent! I'm be honest was just right. Lighting and sound systems were definitely well thought of. Really cool decor especially in the bathrooms. Unisex bathrooms. Plenty of parking. Plenty of space. Will definitely come back for another live concert if the opportunity arises“

“Amazing venue.Food was over the top. Great staff. Cannot say enough. We had a group of about 20 and all had a great time“

“I was in tonite and ordered to go; the Spicy Garlic Wings, the Hoss Dip, the Nashville Chicken Biscuits, and the Tommy Pizza. All of it, hands down PHENOMENAL!!! So good! The Pirate Cat Brown is a delicious beer for you to drink while waiting for your food! Will probably go back tomorrow nite! Im from out of town and this is close to Ironworks where I’m staying!“

“Great Service, wonderful food and drinks had a blast ❤️‍🔥“

“We love Blind Owl. It’s a great place to meet friends for drinks or dinner. Our most recent visit, we started out with garlic cheese curds. I wish they had more garlic, but still pretty tasty. The breaded tenderloin is one of the best in town. There’s a reason we return.“
