A stop in Indy wouldn't be the same without some Broad Ripple brews. Tried both casks and found them to be excellent. Best Bitter had just enough hops to keep it interesting for the long run while Monon Porter is just a great cask porter. Amarillo Red Lager sure tasted like an ale to me, but a malty one. Great! Had my yearly allotment of scotch eggs to help wash the beer down. Always a great stop.

Still my favorite in Indy whether you're talking about their beer, food or atmosphere. All true beer lovers should come here at least once. Scotch eggs (my personal fave) are always dead on, especially with their excellent IPA. Cask beers are usually great as well. Barman Ryan was helpful--even tipped me off to a new place just a few blocks away. Should definitely make a "best of" list.

What a great place. They could use a larger bar, but I hope they don't lose the small friendly feel to the place. The beers are brewed right on. The staff is is great and loves to talk about beer. This is the best place in the Indianapolis area

I visited on Saturday night, and loved the IPA. I also tried the Wee Alec and Big Boy, neither of which were impressive. But the Ankle Biter was great. I've had their IPA and their porter in the past, and they are consistently excellent. The service was friendly, but a bit slow on Saturday even though I went when the place wasn't very busy.

I have visited brew pubs all over the US, and the Broad Ripple Brew Pub, right here in my own back yard, is still my favorite. I say this as a 15+ year, national award-winning homebrewer that loves the craft brewing industry, so trust me on this one. The beer is always great, I honestly have never had a problem with the service, the food is always good, and the atmosphere suits my taste (it has the feel of a small English pub). The ESB is awesome, as well as anything on the hand pull (if I was choosing my last beer ever, it would be the Porter on the hand pull). Although the BRBP has the feel of a small English pub, it is located in the bohemian / Greenwich Village-ish section of Indianapolis (Broad Ripple), and the wait staff fits that description. They do a good job, but don't expect a super efficient and highly-polished staff (if that is what you are looking for, try one of the brew pub chains downtown). The BRBP is a laid back place to enjoy some of the best beer you will ever have. Locals have voted it the best brew pub in Indianapolis every year for well over a decade, so that says a lot. For parking, look for a spot along the Monon trail just to the East of the pub. Enjoy your trip.

I visited this brewpub on 11/22/04 and had the following; Wheat, Lawnmower, IPA, Traveling John's Best Bitter, Red Bird Mild, ESB, Big Boy Beer and Fineen's Auld Sod Stout. While I enjoyed all of the beers in the sample, they did not fit my benchmark for the style that they were described as. In my personal notes I had to mark points down because of that. The English pub fare was great, especially the exploding Scotch Egg. Apparently there was steam pocket in the egg that exploded upon cutting a quarter slice of egg. Three of my party ended up with yolk on there faces. A good time was had by all.

I agree with an earlier review that the IPA is overly bitter. It's not balanced well with the additional body a good IPA needs. It had mostly early addition bittering hops with little or no late addition aroma hops. Reminded me of a poor pale ale. The ESB was good and the strong old ale that they had was very good. Malty sweet but not too sweet. I was there the night before Thanksgiving after dinner rush and while the place seemed three quarters full, I did not experience slow/poor service. I liked the fact that they carried a good selection of bottled micro/regional brew since most brew pubs only serve what they make.

In anticipation of a trip to Indy, I read the litany of reviews, good and bad. It shouldn't be a surprise that the truth is in between. English style beers, some better than others. While the waitstaff didn't check on us often (I got myself my condiments), This wasn't outside of the expected range. Paranoia and partisanship aside, the best response by those who admire this establishment would be to encourage increased attentiveness by the staff, not point fingers, and for those who feel slighted to drink elsewhere and not wage campaigns. A pleasant pub in a lively area, not a mecca.

Service on in the bar on Sunday evening seemed to be non existant. Business looked good but it was hard to distiguish who were patrons and who were employees that just got off shift. IPA seemed overly bitter on this visit but ESB held it's own. My friend seemed to think his Stout was pretty good.
