    two glasses of beer
    Karley M.

    This place is great. Awesome atmosphere in an old brick building in a tiny town. Amazing, crisp beers on draft including at least 5 IPAs. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The artwork and logos on their glassware and swag is fantastic. There's an outdoor heated area plus beer garden with igloos. This place knocked it out of the park. I'll definitely be picking up their cans on my next beer run.

    Love this place, great vibes and great beer. The light bender the salted caramel imperial stout was killer. The bartender was helpful and informative. Bartenders never seem to like to do flights here but we always get one because we want to try more things. A little out of the way but will always be returning!

    Loved hanging out inside Pax Verum's brewery with our pup. They are dog friendly inside, out in their all season patio and large outdoor beer garden. They do offer food off a limited menu however they do allow you to bring your own food. They have a great selection of beers ranging from their staple beers to seasonal beers. We enjoyed a flight of beers each to go along with our dinner. They have a huge selection of vinyl records that make up all the great music they play. Can't say enough great things about this brewery. Please check them out!

    Flight of some of Pax Verum's excellent beers!

    Love the vibe here. Every style of beer is great, and worth the short drive from the greater Indianapolis area. Try the finished stouts (coconut, salted caramel, etc.). Everything we've had here has been great, along with the service and atmosphere!

    Visited on a brewery road trip with my son. My kind of place. Located in a small town. Beer was solid. Ipa, ales, porters and stouts. About 10 on draft. The best was the coconut porter called Dark Matter. The decor in the pub was very cool. Red brick, rustic yet elegant woodwork and art. They also sell t shirts and other items. Parking is limited but this is a small venue. I would definitely recommend stopping if you are in East central Indiana.

    We'd been hearing about this brewery for a while so we decided to round up a group of friends to go check it out with us. Little did we know that we showed up right as their annual 'Way Out' beer fest was ending. (Bummer! We'll be attending next year, for sure.) The place was swamped but we were still able to grab a table on their patio out back. The weather was nice and they had live music playing. Their beers were surprisingly good and we loved the ambiance of the place. This great brewery is tucked in the heart of Lapel, right off of Main Street, which is quiet and well kept. Great space for summer time.

    Pax Verum Brewery is a nice relaxing Brewery in Lapel IN that not many people know about. My friends and I came here for their three year anniversary party and it was very nice. This was my first time here and I was impressed with the beer and the outside patio. They had a cloudy judgment IPA that tasted amazing and the three year anniversary bourbon aged beer was incredible!! There was another hazy IPA I tried that was excellent as well, but I cannot remember the name of it. All the hazy IPA's are excellent, and they have a food truck called Porkapolis that offers decent BBQ if you are looking for food. The outside patio is immaculate and a wonderful place to relax and hang out with friends drinking beer. The interior is beautiful with great artwork and a very nice projector for a T.V. screen that they bring out for special events. The staff is accommodating and gives good customer service. This Brewery is a great find and would come back here to hang out in a heartbeat. It is a hole in a wall Brewery that is excellent and puts out a great quality product. I am happy to support this business and will continue to do so for quite a while.

    Awesome brewing company!

    Very friendly & they make you feel at home! Beers are great for those who love hops , but we were able to find some more to our palette. Will go back on weekend when their kitchen is active!

    A former dime store now houses this Lapel brewery. Fun fact; the flight holders are original floor joists and the brewing equipment all sits below floor level where these once were. Many and varied beers on the list. The coconut chocolate stout was a fave but the red ale was my preference. Fun fact two: they have a great turntable playing Creedence Clearwater Revival the day we visited. Not sure if you can bring your own albums, but they had a collection on hand. Was told only 21 and over can visit but wonder if the place would have been more crowded if they addressed the legalities by putting up a railing to "separate " the bar and thus allow beer drinkers with families. Just a thought.

    Trendy brewery in Lapel. Very nice atmosphere and music. They have a nice indoor area as well as heated patio and igloos. Their beers are very good and have a great selection. They also have Ash&Elm cider, wine and a few select spirits. My husband was really excited to try the Fifth Dimension but it's currently out. Definitely worth the visit if you're willing to go a little off the beaten path. Their select beer is also available in Total Wine.

    Pax Verum is a hidden gem! They have 13 of their hop forward beers on tap and an Ash & Elm cider. We tried six of their beers and they were all really good and their red ale is absolutely amazing. They also offer wine and have some mixed drinks, which I love! They have a small food menu: beef brisket, ham sandwich and several snacks. We didn't try any of the the food; however the soft pretzel and cheese looked fantastic. Located in a century old building, the interior of the brewery has an great rustic, industrial interior. They have a great outdoor seating area/patio. I love the story of the brewery too: Two brother that once brewed in a pole barn got some investors involved. They then refurbished and moved into a century old building! If you haven't been to Pax Verum, I'd definitely recommend going!

    Pleasantly surprised at how cool this was. Wasn't super busy and had a hip vibe. Great music beverages and very well maintained for being 3 years old.

    I am a sucker for local craft breweries. Especially when the beer is great and the atmosphere is low-key fun and staff is super friendly. Pax Verum has all of this including some of the best outdoor seating around!

    Great place!! I only gave it a 4 because I wish they had more of a selection for non beer drinkers. My husband would say 5 though.

    I finally decided to dine-in because of their seasonal $13 shiitake dumplings. They were so…read moreunique, but I wish for more shiitake in the dumplings. I wonder what other stuffings were in the dumplings. I greatly enjoyed the veggie Asian slaw of carrots, red peppers, chives, etc. under the dumplings. Ponzu sauce has a good taste. I definitely would recommend these dumplings. I have been interested in trying the $16 smoked then fried gluten-sensitive wings. A pound is like 8 wings. I needed more house-made BBQ sauce to cover the wings. Not amazing. Jamaican jerk wings were quite spicy. Carrots came with dish. I hoped for just smoked but must come as fried too but that made them hard to chew so I must give them 4 stars. I sat at a bar with TVs surrounding the room. Common sink between the restrooms. You can sign up for their reward program after you sign your credit card approval. Welcome 25 points if you plan to return. Also, you can sign-up for a $10 birthday gift. Plus, they have a mug club program, too.

    We're out of towners and the restaurant caught our eye while driving through town the other day. We…read morechecked out the menu online and decided to stop in for dinner last night. I'm huge on seeing photos before I order (hence me being a YELPer) so I loved the photos on the website. The hostess and our server were friendly. It took a big before the server came over, but the hostess did warn us that he did just have another table seated before us. The beer drinkers in our party enjoyed their beers. We started out with two apps... cheese curds and pretzel bites. When they came to the table, neither looked like they do on the website. On the website the pretzels looked a bit better than something you'd get in a mall, and they stated they came with cheese and mustard. In real time they only had cheese. The cheese curds also looked completely different and were smaller portions than shown online. For our meals we had a burger, a chicken sandwich, and I had the southwest salad. There seemed to be a little miscommunication with our waiter about the dressing for my salad, and that resulted in my salad missing some ingredients but he resolved it. But also of note, the menu listed a "avocado lime vinagrette" and the salad came with a guac that just looked like it was maybe left in the blender a second longer than it should have been. The burger was huge. We all agreed the food was "good" but we wouldn't add it to our list of must haves next time we are in town. The disappointment more came from things that hyped us up on the menu online and in store and then weren't actually the same. :(
