We stopped in on a whim and were glad we did. The beer was outstanding--so much so that we left with a four-pack and a growler. We live in the Indianapolis area, so it's not the easiest place for us to visit regularly, but whenever we're in the West Lafayette area, we'll definitely stop by for a pint or, at the very least, a growler to go. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Grab a pint--you'll be glad you did! read more

Although there is no food served here there are food options near by that you are welcome to bring in. They have a vast selection of their own brews plus canned guest brews, ciders and wine options. The bar is big and tv's were playing to watch sports. Service was friendly. Good place for drinks and conversation. read more

located in a college town but it's very welcoming almost like a friend's house . The beer selection was good and service was good. The crowd was relaxed that made it enjoyable read more

Brokerage Brewing - Brewpubs Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

The Beer and service at Brokerage Brewery are equally outstanding. What helps give it 5 stars though is the availability of food from Arni's which is next door just steps away. You get a text when the food is ready and it takes all of 1 minute to pickup and bring back. Cheers! read more

Updated review. Overall nice place with improved beer selection. Lots of in house craft beers, a cider or two, some guest taps, and a few dozen can/bottle offerings. The staff bring a friendly vibe and make you feel welcome. Some supply chain issues with various kitchen items but the staff make the best of it and share alternatives. The appetizers and beer were good. The food options are new with the recent expansion. Decently large menu for venue size but not overwhelming. The beer geeks in town tell me the hazy IPAs are the house specialty. read more

We enjoyed the beer flight here. See You on the Summer Side was a fruited IPA Greg enjoyed. I'm not a beer drinker, but I liked the crisp berry flavored Triple Jam hard cider. This was a fun place to hang out, send a postcard, and try local brews. read more

This place was amazing! We just stumbled upon the brewery when going to the farmer's market and boy am I glad we stopped in. The hospitality was absolutely amazing! We decided to sit at the bar and Ezra was our server. He struck up a conversation with us and we shared a few laughs. I definitely wish we found this place sooner, but me and my boyfriend will definitely be back! My recommendation is to try the beer flight ( to get a taste of what they offer) and the triple jam (if you like fruity ciders)! read more

Stopped in here to kill some time before a show at Purdue. Was dead empty on a Saturday afternoon. Bartender was friendly and helpful. We both got flights. Beers were good but nothing too special. They had mostly IPAs with a few other options like cream ale,kolsch, porter. I tried the red wine style seltzer which was interesting and unique, very tasty! Great little spot to stop if you're in the area! read more

Enjoyable classic watering hole hidden between the CVS and Pizza Hut, excellent food menu, decent house brews, not quite the Teay's River selection and definitely far from the massive selection at The Tap but combining some easier pickings from both with woody rustic atmosphere. Nice spot to enjoy music trivia, catch up with friends, and relax during the week where there's plenty of parking. Staff was polite and on point for the stay, everyone else enjoyed the brews and food too. I'll have to come back and try out more of the menu. read more

We loved Brokerage Brewing! Andy the bartender took great care of us and the locals we met were so much fun! Highly recommend Brokerage for locals and visitors to West Lafayette! Such a highlight of our time there visiting Purdue! read more

Finally made it here! I heard about this place when I moved here just over a year ago. I actually drove by it every day and didn't know because there's not great signage so you have to know what you're looking for. Nice, clean little brewery. I didn't feel like there was a wide selection of beers. About half were IPAs and the rest were pale ales or ciders, none of which are favorites of mine. I did settle on a rye IPA that was good...the first IPA I've liked. I liked the place and will return to get a broader experience and try more beers to form a better review. read more

Come visit this West Lafayette gem. It's only hidden because you take a side road, but don't sleep on it. Friendly staff. The beer is fantastic as well. Drank the porter and sampled a few others. Took home a crowler of the Octopus has no friends stout. We did not try any of the food, but the menu looked tempting. Excited to stop in the next time we venture to Lafayette. read more

Love this little brewery! Checked it out while visiting my parents (I can WALK to it from their house), and definitely enjoyed the beer and atmosphere. Sitting out front was a pleasure on a gorgeous summer evening. I didn't try the food but will definitely return to do so soon! read more

We went here to celebrate Father's Day and take advantage of a special offer. My daughter had been here before and recommended it. Seating is limited inside but there is also an outdoor patio. The service was great, at first, then degraded the busier it got. We had three different people serving our table at different times. I had the salmon that has a tasty glaze and includes brown butter rice and local asparagus. I recommend it. The chorizo flatbread pizza is also very good and spicy. One of our party ordered a pulled pork sandwich without the bun. The portion of pork was tiny and wouldn't even make a good sandwich! And it's $17! Brokerage seems to be trying but they are just not quite there food wise. Beer wise the cream ale I had was delicious. I would give this place another try. read more

Food service is a bit slow here but the food and drinks are fabulous. I especially like the broad array of drink options available here. Great place to hang out with a friend and socialize. read more

I and my girlfriend were in Indy at Daddy Jacks for a couple of drinks and said we thought we would try Brokerage Brewery for supper. I heard they ground their own hamburger so, no frozen patties like a lot of restraints here in Lafayette do. Well, so here we go... As we went in, the place had a really plain and stark look. There are three rooms. The first has a glass wall showing the brewing, the second is the main entrance where you see the kitchen and the third is the bar. We asked for a table for two. Oh, this is a small place with few tables, small bar and wood benches for booth seating. There were some cute aspects like the glass wall showing the brewing setup and the natural wood finish work. But overall, lacking. Why? Funny you ask. We went in with some expectations of a great brewery, hand ground burgers and a wonderful quaintness. Not there. When we approached the front desk, I asked for a table for two. Hmmm.... Looking around there was a large selection. Not just in the front, but the bar and the brewing room. We were directed to a small table (Oh, a small table) for just two by what looked like a supply closet. I asked if we could sit at another table. The young lady was kind enough to to look around for a while until I pointed at a table and asked if we could sit there. Still not a great place to sit. There were tables available in the bar as well as in the brewing room. Not many people. That's just getting a seat. As we sat down, we ordered drinks and expecting to order dinner shortly. I realize everyone hires new people. The poor waiter had no idea what he was doing and struggled with the order and of course so young knew nothing of the beers. Hmm.... It's a brewery. I ordered a glass of wine for my girlfriend and a pint for me. The wine came out and we stared as the person who brought it out, unscrewed the top and left the bottle. Did I say we ordered a glass? The pint of beer came out. Now, I'm not a prude with beer. But, the beer was warm and not served in a chilled glass. It was warm and really not that repeatable. But the possibility of food was still looming. I looked over the menu and had my site set on a great burger. But, nothing on the menu spoke of fresh hand ground burger the way I thought I read on the website. So, I refrained from ordering as I finished my beer approached the desk to pay and asked the kitchen staff.... not get this.... "Do you make your own burgers or are they frozen?". I got the most awful look from the person in the kitchen. You would have thought I asked if I they served "crap.". I said I read on their website that they advertised daily hand-ground burgers. I got this dumbfounded stair you wouldn't believe. Needless to say, walked out. No burger. Won't return. Sorry. read more

Decided to try out a new place while visiting Lafayette. Great beer and great menu. There is outdoor seating around back with tables and Adirondack chairs on the front porch. Dog friendly. Great atmosphere! Tried the OCCIPUT: MOTUEKA dry-hopped kettle sour and it was awesome! Would definitely recommend and will be back soon! PSA: kitchen is closed on Sundays read more

Brokerage Brewing - OCCIPUT: MOTUEKA Dry Hopped Kettle Sour - Brewpubs Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

We really want to like this place, but they make it hard. On our first visit, the cheese curds were great and the cream of asparagus soup was delicious. Everything else was just ok. And even in early fall, it was cold in the bar area. We tried again this evening and couldn't have been more disappointed. First, it was freezing! It was cold outside, but the two doors into the bar, as well as the front door made for a constant, cold draft and intermittent blasts of cold as people entered. They could have upped the heat, but seemed oblivious to everyone sitting with their coats on. We also suggest they close the front entry into the bar to reduce the cold blasts. Also, they need to do something to keep the cold from the front door away from the food prep area. We were left waiting for server attention while watching two parties who came in after us served promptly. We felt invisible. When a server finally did come, she proved to be totally incompetent. We had to ask for menus. My glass of wine was the smallest $8.50 pour I've ever seen--probably 2oz.. seemed like she had no idea what to serve. We ordered cheese curds for an appetizer and grilled cheese and soups for our mains. They all came out at once. The cheese cures were, again, good, but everything else was dismal. I actually had to question if I misunderstood and had ordered a cold soup, as the squash soup was THAT cold. (It was supposed to be hot.). The grilled cheese were supposed to be served on Turano sourdough. They came in Texas toast that was barely warmed. My cheeses were almost completely unmelted. I sent my plate back. They said the chef was tending to it "personally.). When the server brought it back she said the soup was "steaming hot." It wasn't. It was barely lukewarm. The flavor was great and I ate it, but it would have been much better at the proper temperature. The re-cooked grilled cheese was still bad. I took it home and properly grilled it. It was still not good bread and the bread to cheese ratio wasn't right for that much bread. My husband's plate was largely the same, though his chili was slightly warmer when it arrived, but not even warm enough to melt the sour cream on top, (which he said he didn't want.). It took a while to get our check because the server was too tied up with chit-chat behind the bar. We are VERY generous tippers, because we understand the value of good service, but sadly, could not feel compelled to give a big tip this time. As I said, we want to like this place, but sadly, not sure there is enough here to draw us back. read more

Stopped in for some food and beer. Cute little laid back joint off the beaten path. Good variety of beer. Food was flavorful. KETO chicken tasted as good as it looked. Flights ran $10 for 6 4oz mini beers. read more

In West Lafayette visiting for the day and had been wanting to stop here for quite awhile. We pulled in an hour before they opened, and were bummed because we had to get heading back out of town. We called to see if anyone inside that could possibly sell us some crowlers before we headed home. They were happy to open the doors to use 1 hour before opening and invited us in to taste some beers as they filled our crowlers. We got to talk with their brewer and learned so many things about the brewing process and stories behind the beers. We will absolutely visit again during our next time in West Lafayette! read more

Brokerage Brewing - three cans of beer on a table - Brewpubs Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

This brewery (the first and only in West Lafayette) is such a great addition to the neighborhood. With easy parking, friendly staff, tasty beer, and affordable prices, it's all I could ever want from a neighborhood beer spot. Highly recommended. The Walking Ashland is a great stand-bye, but they have such a good variety, many of which rotate, that I also try new stuff regularly. Cheers! read more

Exactly what West Lafayette needed- a brewery! Brockerage has a great environment and the service was on point. We tried multiple beers and the owner of the company even chatted with us for a bit. They don't have food but you can order Greeks from across the street. Pizza and beer- what more could you want? read more

Brokerage beers are not my favorite, but are decent. The hazy double IPA was well balanced and hid the abv well. Their IPA was not balanced, and had an off taste to it. They have done a nice job with their outdoor patio. It's basically part of the parking lot, but have spruced it up with flowers and lights. read more

Great selection of beer. Liked the Cocoa Charlie and the Lemurnaut. Nice laid back atmosphere with good help. Kinda small but I like that, like breweries used to be. Drop by. read more

I don't even like beer but I like this place. With a calm, local vibe and the ability to have food delivered (there's no kitchen), this place makes it easy to enjoy a drink and your favorite takeout with friends. With a rotating menu and at least one cider, it's a great place to drink local! read more

It's about time West Lafayette had its own brewing company. And Brokerage knows exactly what it's doing. The draft list is changing daily, but the two beers that will always be available are the Walking Ashland, a cream ale, and the New Kid on the Hop, a west coast IPA. Their own creations take up a majority of the menu, but there's a handful of other breweries featured on there as well. Wine is also available. Brokerage doesn't have its own kitchen, so you are more than welcome to bring in your own food. They have a couple menus of nearby options if you didn't plan ahead. Other cool things: -They won't play sports on the television, except for a Purdue game if televised. This keeps the crowd from getting rowdy and lets everyone enjoy themselves. -Plenty of outlets and booths available. Perfect for a couple of Purdue students to do homework if the coffee shop scene just isn't their style. With plans to expand into a larger part of the strip mall they're in, I can only imagine Brokerage will continue to gain popularity. They have a vintage fire truck that they installed taps in, which will be super fun in the warmer months with food trucks around. read more

What a neighborhood gem. Great craft beer and ciders. And now great food too. I'm tempted to flood them with really bad reviews to keep people away but I just can't do it. Come on over to the neighborhood great food, great beverages, cool place to hang out with friends. read more

Enjoyed our trip to Brokerage! Enjoyed the beer and tried a really good cider they had just got in!! Great staff made us feel like a regular! Food was good as well we will be back next time we are in town!! Good atmosphere!! read more

In brief, we like this place. Things we really like: No sports playing on TVs, which makes the environment more conducive to conversation, Good beer options, In addition to good beer options, they also have wine options for non beer drinkers, Unisex bathrooms. Other things we like: Nice to have another non-college student option in WL, Free stickers, Good service, Bicycle racks, Great seating options - ample bar, tables, and booths, Logo suspiciously close to the Replacements Pleased To Meet Me album cover. Things we didn't like: Lights way too bright (although they turned off the can lights when we noted it was too fluorescent light bright, which made a huge difference), Lame classic rock (much better Black Keys on the second visit), No food. read more

Great brew choices of course and cool location. The addition of the food service helps to complete the experience. Service is good and the menu is somewhat limited but good enough! read more

Wide selection of craft brews! Great place to go to grab a drink and not be around others who are heavily drinking. New and clean space. Not too much seating, but a few tables and long bar. They provide cards with each beer you choose when you order a flight which is useful! Beers are served on a big slab of wood. Some basic food to choose from and there was a food truck in front. Food stops getting served earlier in the evening. read more

Every town deserves an independent craft brewery, and cheers to the team at Brokerage Brewing for providing that need to West Lafayette. One thing I especially liked about Brokerage is how they have detailed description cards of every beer on draft. It's super informative and helpful. My beer recs: New Kid on the Hop (West Coast IPA) and Universal Migrator (Hoppy Saison). read more

What a great surprise. I have been living in Orlando for the past 3 years after spending 34 years in West Lafayette. The beer and wine selection was great. The food was superb and only surpassed by the staff. We have a new home when we visit family. read more

I'm only a little salty that a craft brewery came to West Lafayette after I graduated. But I'm not holding that against them. What I loved most about Brokerage was their dedication to their local community, specifically their neighborhood. Their decor features blueprints of homes found in the surrounding subdivision and it's neat to see the little bits of history and love for this corner of West Lafayette. One of the bartenders told me that it's a popular choice for parents while their kid takes piano lessons in one of the neighboring homes. Other high points: -Ability to bring in own food gives you so much flexibility. See what take out menus the bartenders have. -No sports on the TVs keeps the crowd lowkey. The space is quiet and well decorated. -Great beer menu with constantly rotating draught list. There's always something new to try. -The logo is awesome and I love toting around my growler with it printed on there! There are plans to expand the interior of the space, as well as create a patio with a parking lot for food trucks. I'll definitely be coming back on my next visit to West Lafayette! read more
