Our Mission
Support Local, Drink Local
Indiana brewers create the beer; we tell the story. From the Indiana Breweries Map and craft beer directory to festival listings and release reviews, the goal is simple: put Hoosier breweries in front of an active audience of local craft beer enthusiasts.
The site also carries an OHHAP Podcast and merchandise through Threadless, extending the conversation beyond the taproom.

Indy Craft Brew began as a simple idea: Indiana deserves a place to gather its craft beer stories in one place. What started as casual coverage of local breweries grew into a wider hub for Hoosier beer fans, with a focus on the people who brew, pour and celebrate beer across the state. The tone is neighbourly rather than stuffy, closer to a friendly taproom conversation than a trade publication, and that spirit still shapes everything published here.
The mission is straightforward: support local, drink local. Indiana brewers do the hard work of creating the beer, and this site exists to help that beer find an audience. Features like the Indiana breweries map, a craft beer directory, festival listings and release reviews all serve that goal, giving readers a practical route from curiosity to an actual pint. Coverage stays centred on the taprooms, breweries and events that form the backbone of the state's beer culture.
Beer runs on atmosphere as much as flavour, and that idea runs through this site too. The dark, moody look with warm amber and golden accents mirrors the feeling of a dim taproom on a Friday evening: welcoming, unpretentious and lively. Photography of real events, real pints and real faces carries most of the character, while bold, hand-lettered headlines keep the energy casual and celebratory. It is a deliberately noisy, colourful space rather than a quiet one.
Readers can expect a mix of brewery profiles, beer reviews, industry news and event coverage, all aimed at people who enjoy discovering something new close to home. Whether someone is planning a weekend route between taprooms, tracking down a festival, or simply curious what is pouring in their own town, the goal is the same: make local craft beer easier to find and easier to talk about. Grab a drink and settle in.
