Some breweries make you feel like you should grab a beer and move along. Centerpoint Brewing is the exact opposite. This spacious, dog-friendly taproom practically invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The industrial warehouse vibe gives it tons of character, but what really stood out to me was how welcoming it felt. They host trivia nights and other events, and with shelves full of board games, it's the kind of place where a quick drink can easily turn into an entire afternoon. My friend and I grabbed a couple of beers, challenged each other to Connect 4 (I lost...but let's not dwell on that ), and completely lost track of time. I also loved all the little details--from the massive wall of brewery stickers to the impressive mug display and the roomy seating that never felt cramped. Whether you're meeting old friends, bringing your pup along, or hoping to strike up a conversation with someone new, Centerpoint makes it easy to feel at home. If you're looking for a brewery that's just as much about community as it is craft beer, this is your place. Grab a pint, pick a board game, and don't be surprised if you end up staying longer than you planned. read more

Good beer. This is a neat space. There are all sorts of board games that you can play at your table. The bartender was nice. Centerpoint is next to a bunch of art exhibits that I would love to check out, but they were closed on a Sunday afternoon. read more

I was staying with a friend who lives a few blocks from Centerpoint a couple weeks ago, and we wandered over with a third person for trivia night. We sat at the bar, which had plenty of space even though it was a bit busy. The vibe was relaxed and welcoming, no need to elbow your way in or shout over the crowd. The bar staff was great. Friendly without being performative and genuinely down to chat. One of them recommended Pete's Clear Skies IPA, which turned out to be exactly what I didn't know I wanted. They even took a moment to explain what a low IBU means. Trivia was a blast. We came in second, which felt like a win. The space itself is comfortable in that "you could stay here for hours and not notice" kind of way. I'm already looking forward to going back next time I'm in town. read more

While visiting First Friday Night Market-stopped by to get a draft. I ordered the bionic hop which was pretty tasty. There is tons of indoor seating and a few outdoor spots as well. The staff were a bit slammed but still quick to help. read more

CenterPoint Brewing Co. Pretty cool place to hang out, watch a game, draw something cool, sit and chat, or just watch all the cute puppers coming through the door. It was our first time here and it will absolutely not be our last. Now, understand that we came in on a Saturday early afternoon. There was a hotdog stand set up in the main seating area (shout out to one of the best chili cheese dogs I've had in a long while courtesy of Weiner Dreams). Other then that, there wasn't much going on, although it was moderately hopping with customers. It's just a perfect place to hang out and have some great local brew! As far as the beer, we enjoyed some and moderately liked others. The Lime El Gato was my personal fave and El Gato was my husbands fave. Overall, CenterPoint is a pretty simple joint, bring your own food, and a really enjoyable atmosphere to match the beer. We will be back! read more

Centerpoint Brewing - The line - Breweries Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Beer. All very solid. They don't do anything too crazy but what they do brew they do well. Birdie is my favorite Indy IPA. It's an old school IPA that they get right. They have carry out, growlers, and crowlers as well. Vibe. The place is HUGE and that kind of makes it not always a great vibe. On the flip side it's great for large groups. It's also good for just setting at the Bar. Plenty of TVs for your viewing pleasure. Ample outdoor seating as well. Food. They don't serve any but you can order in. There is also often a food truck in the parking lot. Parking. Lots of it in nearby lot. If that fills up you can go to the main lot of the Circle City Industrial Complex. read more

For this #ThankYouThursday, I'd like to give a shout out to this chill, local brewery, who has some of the best brewskis around. Located in Circle City Industrial Complex, slightly off the beaten path, this spot is definitely up and coming. Now with artists, a recording space, a distillery, ice cream shop and more housed in the building, you can make a few great stops all in one swoop. The inside of the brewery is surprisingly large. THey have an entire back room with a huge screen, making it a great place to hold a birthday party or watch a game. They also have a few picnic tables outside, overlooking the parking lot. Speaking of parking lot, this is one of the easiest places to park at in the city. With several spaces right outside their door, as well as a big lot across the street, there's never a shortage of spots. Now onto the beers! My personal favorite of theirs is the El Gato, a local lager. They also have a popular blood orange beer that I haven't tried yet, but look forward to tasting, as well as a porter and IPA. During COVID19, they've been doing carryout and home delivery that you can order by calling them or going to their website. Enjoy! read more

This is a neat microbrewery located I side the Circle City Industrial Complex. The warehouse vibe is super chill and low-key. Their blood orange IPA is probably the best interpretation that I have ever had (granted there aren't too many breweries that make those). read more

Stopped in just as they were opening today. The woman behind the counter did not acknowledge us at all as we entered, chatted with the one customer sitting at the bar, came out from the bar twice and continued to ignore us. We finally approached her when it became clear she had no intention of greeting us or coming to ask if we needed anything. Due to her flippant attitude, we turned it on and walked out. read more

Great brewery! I appreciate that they always have a lighter beer on tap, the el gato. I've noticed some local breweries don't and for someone that usually only prefers lighter beers it can be frustrating. They are kid friendly and dog friendly. You can also bring in your own food. read more

I went to a watch party for the Indy Fuel here and it was really fun. The beer is good and very reasonably priced. The bartenders are better. And we got to take a tour of the facility. What more could you ask for. But for real, their support of sports is really cool. I also went a few times for the World Cup this last summer and I'll continue going to any watch parties I can. read more

Centerpoint Brewing - Hex IPA and an Indy mask - Breweries Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The Blood orange IPA is my favorite beer in the city. It is so good on tap. I really hope to see it on tap more places in the city.

Great beer, great service, great people. In town for business and checking out local breweries - stopped in for a few to taste. My colleague bought some of their merchandise (he collects tin tackers) but we forgot it at the next place we went! We contacted the place we left it, and then asked Center-point if we happened to leave it there. We didn't...but they offered to send a brand new one and shipped it to my colleague in Chicago. Very grateful for how they treated us. read more

We loved hanging out in Centerpoint Brewing with our dog. They have a spacious brewery and a wonderful staff that will shower your pup with love. They have a nice selection of light to dark beers which are all delicious. We enjoyed a flight each. They do not serve food however do allow you to bring in your own food. Check them out with your dog! read more

We love Centerpoint. That area is growing so much. It is nice that they have their own parking lot, so it is easy to get into to. We stopped in for a drink with our friends, and LOVED their blueberry kettle sour. It is a perfect balance of sweet and sour. They have several other beer options including some guest taps so they are bound to have something you'll enjoy Cheers read more

Nestled in the old Circle City Industrial Complex between Old Northside and Windsor Park areas of Indy, creates a really cool aesthetic to this local brewery - brick interiors and open beam warehouse feel. This is my go to place for Trivia every Thursday for Indy Live Trivia with Doug - if your'e looking for someone who represents team Sour Batch Kids - you've found one of them. They have some solid brews, and are always consistent in quality - personal favorite is the Gold Kolsch, their seasonal Red Flanders and the Key Lime Gose. #Protip, they do allow you to order or bring food in from the outside - just make sure that you're inputting the correct address as rideshare delivery services may be dropping it off towards the other end of the complex. Also, if you have a furry friend, they're always welcome and will most likely make a new friend while they're there. Definitely come check it out for the brews, pet a dog, or try to beat us out at Trivia on Thursday! (Come early for trivia as it does fill up quickly!) read more

The anchor point for the near east side and the Circle city industrial complex. Such a mouthful, this cool artsy mixed use retail space houses many things and hosts a first Friday event every month! Conveniently located on the west end of the building near where the Monon trail meets up with the cultural trail. The beers here are great and so is the atmosphere. Right away you notice the long bar that leads down to the restrooms to your right. To the left is an open area with tables and games. This area has a garage door so it opens out onto the patio during nice weather. I always feel welcome in here with some of the nicest bar staff in Indianapolis. This is a big space with the production area located behind the bar. For me, this is a nice stopping point on my bike on the way home. read more

First time at center point and it impressed! This brewery is located just off of mass ave, in an area that it looks like they are trying to build up; which I always love to see for any area in Indianapolis. It's a pretty expansive location, a big bar area, outside seating and then a side room with lots of tables. There are also TVs as well. A nice beer selection, light to dark.. and of course not too many dark beers because of course it is summer. I was thankful that the bar tenders were so friendly, willing to answer questions, let you try samples or make some personal recommendations. I got a small flight to try a different variety and was really impressed! Each beer had a unique flavor which I think is important. My overall favorite beer was the strawberry Hefeweizen. I'll certainly be back to see what new beers are put in rotation. Ps say hello to the brewery cat! read more

I am a fan of Centerpoint's industrial engineer-themed atmosphere, near-east side location, very friendly customer service, Thursday trivia nights, pinball machines, and Twiggy the Brewery Cat. I am not as much of a fan of its flagship beer styles (kolsch, porter and 2 IPAs), but all the other positive factors override my "meh" attitude over the beer. If you are an IPA fan, they offer many types...blood orange, red, imperial, white, etc. If you are a sour/gose/wild ale fan, you'll be out of luck. Saison and other Belgians styles are periodically offered; hopefully they'll experiment with these styles a bit more. Centerpoint sells multiple flavors of Tell City Pretzels and Broad Ripple potato chips, if you need to nosh, as well as periodic visits from food trucks like the Cosmic Chrome Cafe. Its near-east side location in the Circle City Industrial Complex is fantastic; Centerpoint is really ahead of the curve with its location, along with fellow CCIC dwellers. A small patio is now available during the warm weather months, jutting out into the parking lot. The customer service is really authentic and the servers are very knowledgeable about the beer styles and what might wet a visitor's whistle. Plus Twiggy...don't forget Twiggy. read more

First visit was with a large group a couple weeks ago and was floored by how spacious the seating area and bar are. Even while slammed the staff was ON IT! The on tap list is easy to see behind the bar and the staff (as you would hope) are masters of recommendations if you haven't tried any of the brews before. I enjoy their APAs Impulse and Blood Orange but didn't hear any who tried others say anything but good things! There are games galore that you can set up and play during your visit which is awesome! Just don't be a bonehead and leave a mess for others to clean or swipe all the Uno Wild Cards...be a nice person people! Game days can get loud with the TVs blasting and people trying to out yell them and the other fans but everyone keeps good spirits in true Indy Friendly Fashion! There is a sweet little patio for the warmer months and the parking lot is convenient. Also located in an area easy to bike and walk as needed! Water containers are set up around as a subtle reminder to hydrate...reminiscent of Ultimate Frisbee tourneys, but not bone dry after long points. Overall great brewery to check out! read more

We've never had a bad experience at Centerpoint Brewing. Staff is top notch. Atmosphere is top notch. And most importantly, beer is top notch. My favorite is the Blood Orange IPA. I've ordered other beers on the menu, but lawdy...this one is my absolute fave. It's just so drinkable, no matter what time of year you visit. With a 5.2% ABV, it's right there in the sweet spot for a lightweight like me. This is a great spot to have a beer or two and then walk over to the new Garage for dinner with friends. read more

I'm sure the beer is good...my husband and friends seem to like it. However, I am gluten free, so they have nothing to for me except for locally made kombucha, which is nice, but only if I don't want to have a "real" drink. ;) But, they do have some pinball machines, lots of board games, and often live music, so that's nice. And, I guess they do have the nice Broad Ripple Chips if I want a snack. read more

We love going to Centerpoint! It's such a cool space. It's rustic, but stays true to the "brewery" vibe. Tons of seating, games, TVs, good service and most importantly good beer. Their blood orange IPA is absolutely amazing, and I'm not an IPA drinking by any means. We have been here several times with groups of all different sizes. We went with 35 people for my birthday and they were able to accommodate us with no troubles. Best of all, they are dog friendly :]. read more

I went to this brewery on a Thursday evening. It's like a Friday. It was crowded. Good ambience. It has a good parking space too. There was a taco truck outside too. I like the tacos very much. I took chicken tacos. Initially, I and my friend tried flights. I liked most of them. And then we wanted to have light beers so went with El Gato. It's so good so we took cans to home too. read more

My friends and I went to Centerpoint on a Thursday night for the trivia. The space is awesome. It's got sort of a warehouse feel with high ceiling and lots of tables. They don't serve food so it's dog friendly! Lots of good boys were pet. I really enjoyed the Summer Sipper beer which has kombucha in it. It has a bit of a kick to it but I really liked it! You can order food and have it delivered there so we got pizza and cluster truck. Trivia was fun! My team ended up winning and we got a $25 gift card! I'm withholding a star because it was just sooooo hot inside. We were all fanning ourselves. I don't think they have central AC in the garage area and they kept the door shut so we were really getting warm. I feel like just adding fans could make a huge difference! In their defense it was like 85 out that evening but it was still just so stuffy. Everyone was rolling up theirs jeans to try and cool down. Overall though this brewery is really really awesome! Would definitely recommend, just maybe on a cooler evening! read more

So many years later and I still cannot recommend Centerpoint enough. The hospitality is unparalleled! So much so that we even held my grandmothers 90th birthday party here! A fantastic selection of beers and non-alcoholic beverages, a uniquely delicious rotation of food vendors, and a staff that warms your heart. Love stopping in for a visit any chance I get. Be sure to become part of their mug club, the discounts and personalized mug are worth it! read more

Fun spot on the corner of a warehouse building. Lots of parking in the front lot! My friends and I headed over after a heated game of pickleball, just missed trivia!

I ordered the blueberry sour - very punchy! read more

Great place to host a party. I hosted my wife's 40th birthday party at Centerpoint on a recent Saturday night and everyone loved it. Amanda, Mal, Eric and the rest of the Centerpoint team were awesome to work with. And Centerpoint just expanded so there is even more space for gatherings. We didn't book a private space, but they had marked off several tables for our group. Because of the expansion, we had our own section of the main room which worked out perfectly. There ended up being about 30 in our group. Centerpoint's beer was a big hit, especially the black lager and coffee porter. You're able to bring in your own food allowing us to setup a spread of munchies and, of course, birthday cake. Table/room rental was a lot cheaper than other places I called and we were able to use tokens for the group's beer tab ($5/beer). Overall, the party was a big success. I look forward to getting back to Centerpoint soon. read more

I know you will see 5 stars a lot with me, but I truly am a person that won't hesitate to give a true review!! The decor is spot on (yes I care). Detail matters!! They allow dogs! And their beer is awesome!! Loved the Unicorn Party ( "light beer"). And my husband loved the Blood Orange. Live music, great beer. You can't go wrong. We ordered food from Clustertruck that was good and the bartender helped the old folks figure out food delivery!! Friendly staff...explained all the beers perfectly!!! read more

I've been here a few times and it's always a great time! Parking downtown is limited so it's amazing to find a place with ample parking!

I do not come to centerpoint on a regular basis just for the frigid digits beer fest each year and once in a blue moon when I am downtown hanging out with friends. I was here for frigid digits beer fest this year back in February, and it was excellent! Center point always provides a great venue for the festival and they have a great variety of beer on tap at their own brewery. Frigid digits beer fest is a wonderful festival because it takes place in the winter time and the top local breweries in Indy come out to pour samples of beer, including center point. There is some wonderful top notch beer at frigid digits. Center point is in a good location downtown and they always have events and specials going on on a frequent basis. The actual brewery at centerpoint is a wonderful space and provides a great lounge area for people to watch tv or play games while drinking their beer. Hopefully, if I am ever able to get out of the house and the quarantine is lifted, I can go back to centerpoint brewery and enjoy their beer with my friends. read more

Great people & great beer. Centerpoint is a cool spot located in Circle Cindy Industrial Complex, a space shared by artists, ice cream, distillers, and more. Their selection of beer varies widely in style and many know them for their Blood Orange IPA. Today I left with a growler of Raspberry Sour + BOIPA in cans. They have packaged snacks like pretzels & Broad Ripple Chip Co chips and you can order food in, but they do not have a full kitchen. For the past couple of years they have also been the space for donation yoga in conjunction with the Indy Winter Farmers Market (Saturdays, Nov-April). read more

Centerpoint Brewing - Welcome home - Breweries Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We stopped into Centerpoint Brewing after we got Ice cream from Licks down the street. We had no idea this place existed but thought it looked neat. It is in an industrial park it decent room for parking. They were having an event to raise money for animals so a lot of dogs were in the brewery. We wish we would have known this sooner so we could have brought our pups with us. There was also live music and a food truck parked outside. The food from the food truck looked delicious but we were only there for the beer. They have a large selection of Pale Ales and other hoppy beers. After asking the guy at the bar what he would suggest for someone who doesn't care for hoppy beers he suggested one of their sour ales. I forget the name as it was not listed on the board but it was good. It had light and had a nice flavor. Tim got an orange IPA that had an overpowering orange taste. I tried it even though I hate IPAs. The atmosphere was pretty great and the architecture was very intriguing to me. There was a great mix of wood and metal which is exactly my style. Only talked to the one guy at the bar but the staff seemed nice. I would love to go back if they ever expand their beer menu a bit to please those of us who prefer blonde ales, wheat beers, and much lower IBUs. read more
