Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Tasting Room?

The primary feature of a tasting room is for guests to sample beer (via a “Flight” of Beer which consists of 5 small glasses of different beers for $12) and/or order a pint to stay or grab some beer to go. Our staff has been trained in the knowledge of the products and production, who can answer guests questions. Often the owners are there to meet guests, answer questions, and pour beers.

*Walk-up Bar or Counter Service involves providing drinks at a counter or bar, rather than at a table. You order at the register and they pour your beers on the spot. This is very typical in a Tasting Room setting.

---

Where can I park?

There is street parking in front of the building as well as along the side street (South Street). Brookston also has a public parking lot just one block over next to Casey’s.

---

Do you serve food?

We have a small menu of pizzas for dine-in. *While we don’t do a “call-in for carry-out” type of order if you decide you want to take a pizza home after visiting and enjoying our beer, we are happy to make it to go.*

---

Do you sell other beer, wine, cider, meads, or spirits?

We are only licensed to sell malt beverages we handcraft in our brewhouse. Laws are silly and unfortunately, we can not retail any other alcoholic beverages nor are we licensed to make any other type of alcoholic beverages. We do have small menu of craft N/A options.

---

Can I bring in my own food and drinks?

No, you can not but understand that this is due to state and county laws. No alcoholic beverages can be carried in as Indiana Code 7.1-5-8-6 states: Sec. 6. (a) It is a Class C misdemeanor for a person to knowingly carry liquor into a restaurant or place of public entertainment for the purpose of consuming it, displaying it, or selling, furnishing, or giving it away to another person on the premises, or for the purpose of having it served to himself or another person, then and there.

---

Are Children Allowed?

Our Tasting Room and Outdoor Patio are only open to customers who are 21 and over.

*Since we are not a restaurant with a retail alcohol license (which is why we can not sell any other alcoholic beverages produced by other vendors) the new law does not pertain to our establishment.

---

Are Dogs Allowed?

While we will allow documented service animals entry into our taproom, we can not allow your favorite (undocumented) pooch entry. However, you are more than welcome to show them pictures of your visit as soon as you return home. *During outdoor patio season, you may bring your dog with you to enjoy the outdoor space out back. Dogs must be leashed at all times. Water bowls are provided upon request. There is a potty area with poop bags for you to easily clean up after your pet.

Do you fill Growlers?

Yes! Growler fills are $15 (Does not include Premium Beers). You must bring in your own growler. Here is our Growler Policy:

• Growlers are for takeaway only. Please do not jeopardize our liquor license and your invitation back to the brewery by opening a growler in the tasting room.
• We fill other breweries’ growlers.
• Growlers brought in for refill must be clean. We are not responsible for cleaning your growler.
• Not all beers will be available for growler fills at all times.

Do you allow Groups/Private Events/Party Bus or take Reservations?

We can not handle large unexpected groups. Any tour/party buses, limousines, party groups, bachelor or bachelorette parties, etc. are NOT allowed unless prior arrangements have been made directly with one of the owners.
