Cheers! Here are the best breweries in Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Just like ice cream, summer is the perfect time to kick back, cool off and enjoy a cold frosty one.
The craft beer industry exploded between 2008 and 2016, as it expanded sixfold. Indiana certainly was included in this nationwide expansion, with new craft beer breweries popping up seemingly every day.
The overall market share by volume for craft beer rose to 13.3% in 2023, according to the Brewers Association. In 2013, there were 3,108 craft breweries in the U.S.—and as of 2023, there are 9,761, representing a 214% increase in just a decade.
Why do Hoosiers love craft beer so much? Some say because every sip tells a story, variety is something that not only describes the industry, but the taste.
Many of Indiana’s highest-rated breweries are so small and independent that the only way to sample their suds is to visit them in person, while others distribute their products around the country—or even across the globe.
To find some top spots near you, Stacker compiled a list of the highest-rated breweries in Indiana using data from Tripadvisor. Tripadvisor ranks places using a combination of metrics, including overall rating, reviews, and number of page views. As a result, a business with a 5 out of 5 overall rating might rank lower than one with a 4 out of 5. Data is as of June 6, 2024.
