We recently headed to Indianapolis from Milwaukee for a weekend getaway. On the way, we stopped at People's Brewing for some lunch. What a nice place to discover. The staff was super nice and the we really liked the vibe -- it had a nice, diverse clientele and was all around chill. We had a couple beers and food. The beer was good but the food really stood out. We got an excellent flatbread as well as a hummus platter. Great all around. This is the kind of place I wish was close to where we live -- cool venue, cool people, and good food and beer. Happy we found it on our journey! read more

The food is good and the BLT was delicious!! The service is spotty unless you sit at the bar. Which I am unable to do if I take my daughter to lunch. The place always seems pretty empty but I have only ever gone on a weekday afternoon or evening. For a brewery the beer is not very good, some weird combos and the only good IPA has a super high alcohol content. I will go for the food but definitely not stick around for a beer. read more

Great food and beer! I love going to People's after work and getting a beer and an appetizer. I also enjoy their new patio. It's small and looks like a garage, but it's so much more. read more

They have some really great beers. Flight is very reasonably priced and a great way to try a variety. Very nice outdoor seating area and in nice weather they open the dock door for another great view. read more

Stopped in on one of the nicer days we have had lately and sat on the patio with our pup. The staff was friendly and provided us with information on their beers. We tried several beers and they were all quite good. We ordered the spinach dip and mushroom Philly. Both were absolutely amazing. Some of the best food we have had at a brewery! We will definitely be back! read more

Visited People's today for lunch on a Friday. We walked in and sat down and were promptly greeted. There were 6 other customers at the time. We were given the Holiday special beer list and the regular Tap List. My favorite beers are traditional pilsners, lagers and ales so most of what People's has is not my thing. Although, I am known to enjoy Boiler Gold at Purdue games. . I looked for Ol' Tavern in the tap list and was disappointed it was not being served right now, but I get the variety and how the taps rotate. Thankfully, the Nine Irish Red was available!!! Ordered our beers and ordered food. We had not eaten here. I got the BBQ pulled pork flatbread and my wife got the Soup of the Day- French Onion. She really enjoyed it. Normally, I am a pizza sauce and pepperoni flatbread guy but really enjoyed my Pulled Pork flatbread. It was hot and tasty and just enough crisp on the flatbread. We always enjoy coming here and........ingot my growler filled with Nine Irish Red in our way out the door!! read more

This place had friendly ambiance. Greg lived his beer flight and there were 6 to try for just $10. What a deal. They had delicious bratwurst bites as a special of the day, the spicy beer cheese is highly recommended! read more

Fantastic local brewery and tidy restaurant with homely barn atmosphere and venue for an ideal summer time sipping spot. We found the beverage menu quite limited surprisingly to the July styles, IPA and seltzer, only one dark thing but oh what a fine black brew it was. Both of us enjoyed the Space Pilot Coffee Porter too well! Highly recommend that one, wished for a tap of the canned brews too but like most little family run businesses there's a quick keg turnover. Makes for more reason to come often, not just for the drinks, the beer cheese nachos were recommended to us and we quickly realized we will also recommend! Probably the best thing on the menu, a huge mound of the right toppings and fresh made ingredients. Could have gone for two but we also tried the hummus and french onion, the soup was excellent making me wish I'd also gone for a bowl even though the hummus was fantastic alongside their own pesto I would need protein included not just veggies to try again. This is easily a fine choice for the relaxed and carefree 21+ crowd, to escape the campus ruckus, right up there with Escape Velocity, Brockerage, Thyme & Wagner, and People's. read more

Stopped by here last weekend when I was in town for my cousin's wedding. I'm glad I did, as it has good food, good beer, a cool look, with an open wall that looks like the opening to accept a semi truck, and very nice staff. I got 3 beers there, the grapefruit moundbuilder, nine irish red, and phantom assassin; and then got 2 six packs to go- the original moundbuilder and the lager. For food I got the baked pretzel, had I not had the wedding to attend I would have gotten a full meal. Later as luck would have it, at the hotel bar I was able to try the boiler black porter, also very good. The prices for a pint are surprisingly cheap. It has its own parking lot you don't have to worry about street parking. I'd definitely recommend checking here out if you're in town and like breweries. read more

You would think you'd come here just to drink but this summer when finishing up school I took a break and decided to try their tacos and chicken salad sandwich with my boyfriend. They were both so tasty and although I was a bit stressed that day, the waiter was very patient and kind to me as I was trying to figure out what to get. Ambiance is very neat! It's a hidden gem since it's a bit far from the little downtown Lafayette has but do not get discouraged by it once you get in, it's a cozy nice little place! 100% recommend! read more

Food was incredible, staff was incredible. We loved all the beers we tried in our flight (almost unheard of for us) and picked up a tshirt to help promote them. We most certainly will be back. read more

Good beer choices. Nice side patio. Good service. Our nachos and Cuban were both enjoyed by our group. Cool vibe inside. Loading dock door when pulling up gives it a fun look. Didn't have our dog but they're welcome on the patio which is always great. read more

People's has food! I've been wanting to visit the taproom for years now, and when I learned that they have a food menu... the very next meal I headed for N 9th Street. The menu isn't extensive. The accroutrements seem to be limited to chips and pretzels, and the sandwiches were certainly passable, though not extraordinary. The beer here is the thing, and they do that very well. I had a Space Cowboy Imperial IPA. Oh my goodness. And the Moundbuilder American IPA that followed it was also top notch. I'm sure that the food side of things will evolve, but in the meantime, it opens the door to heading here for a meal and a beer or two, which is wonderful. Also of note, while I'm here. They did a spectacular job of being pandemic save, while not being offensive about it. It felt both thorough and relaxed at the same time. read more

I finally stopped by after being in the area several times. Good beer with great prices and friendly service. If you are heading north to the brewery from downtown Lafayette, know that you will have to go beyond the entrance because 9th Street has an unbroken raised median in the way, so turn into the Trailhead Park to turnaround and head south again. The brewery has its own parking lot out front. I climbed a few stairs into the main room of the brewery. There is a seating area with tables spread out around the long bar on the rear left of the space. I was impressed that they had a lot of house beers on tap. They are rapidly approaching their 10th anniversary as I write this, so they've learned something about making beer and are able to provide a wide variety of options. I really liked that they offer six selections for their flight for only $8! That's a great way for first time visitors to get a wide sample of what they have to offer. I tried a pilsner, golden ale, porter, cocoa stout, pumpkin ale, and and IPA. All were good to really good in flavor. I will say that the golden ale (Boiler Gold) was really impressive while the Moundbuilder IPA is the house favorite. I also will say the pumpkin ale had a nice blend of spice and pumpkin flavors for an enjoyable drink. Not sure if I would drink a whole pint, but it's a great choice for a flight selection. If you are in the area, this brewery is worth turning around for! Review #3342 read more

Great food, service and great atmosphere, will visit again. A little hidden but easy to remember location after initial visit.

Tasty beers, great selection, super friendly staff and a great group of local patrons to hang out with us out of towners. We got a flight of Boiler Gold, Boiler Black, Boiler Black Nitro, and some other seasonal beers. Also got two pints of a couple other beers on their list. All together, the tab was less than $15. Boom! All in all, my kind of place. read more

I can't drink Miller Lite. I just can't do it to my palate. I want to taste hops, and luckily People's does that really well. I've had many a Mound Builder IPAs at restaurants or from the local liquor stories, which is why I knew I wanted to try as many beers from this brewery as I could in person. There were 12 taps to be tried when my husband and I came in on a Sunday, and I love how I was able to order any six beers on the board for a flight. The hops came through, and I was a very hoppy drinker. (If there's an Amazon Princess or Phantom Assassin on the board, add it to your flight!) Other things worth mentioning: -The parking situation is kind of weird, so pay attention to the signs. -People's does not have a food menu outside of a bowl of pretzels, but you can order in. -You can do growler/howler fills on a Sunday. read more

I love People's! It is my favorite all of the breweries in the Lafayette area. The people, both staff and regulars, are always friendly. They have an excellent selection of beer that is available to take home in cans or growlers. While they don't serve food, they have local food trucks on site on a regular basis. Their merchandise is excellent too, ranging from stickers, growlers, shirts to hats. read more

Such nice people. Good beer and good spirits. Very good beer and lots off ppl. Very busy. I recommend the Space cowboy

I'm in the minority around here in not raving anymore about this brewery. Sorry folks, I call 'em like I see 'em. Loved People's at first, then felt meh about the tired beer selection and grossed out by their nasty fly problem. Now what's happening at the tap room? Vaping. I stop in for the first time in months, less than 10 seconds inside the door, I find myself standing in a cloud of vape smoke. WTF?! Dazed and Confused, I turn around and some jag off is sitting there with his homies, and he's puffing away on a vape pipe, stanking up half the joint. Call me old fashioned but I don't want to choke on bubble gum vape haze. Peace out, People's. read more

Friendly service great beer and wonderful food. People's also supports many community organizations and other businesses.

Fantastic beer and the staff is awesome. Always friendly and someone to talk to there. One of the best and favorite breweries in Indiana.

perfect place for small bites and shareables. Very relaxed vibe and love being able to sit outside at the picnic tables. They have deals every week day on drinks and food. Definitely try the lemon radler and the pretzel! read more

A small little spot that was a little hard to get too, but everyone there was so super nice. They let us sample as many as we wanted. They were even kind enough to give a little info about the beers on the menu. read more

Pretty sure it was Indiana's own Abe Lincoln who said... of the People's, by the People's, for the People's Ol' Tavern shall not parish from the earth! Yeah that's it, that's what he said...

One of our favorite places!! This is a hidden gem around Purdue that we discovered a few months ago and now find ourselves here every Monday!! Their Purdue affiliated beers aren't great, but their others are fantastic. Big fan of Farmer's Daughter! They have really great weekly specials, making it very inexpensive. The food is also really good. Although the don't have a lot of choices, what they have is perfect. We love the nachos and chicken pita. We love bringing people here and highly recommend!! read more

Peoples Brewing Company is a Lafayette staple. The are one of the very best micro breweries in Indiana. You can go and get a sampler with 10-12 2oz beers of different types to see which you like best which is great for the newbies. My personal Favorites are Mr. Brown and Space Cowboy. But watch out, some of the beer are STRONG. The alcohol percentage is listed on the beer list next to each beer on the chalkboard above the bar. Not only do they have phenomenal beer and a delightfully cozy barroom perfect for meeting with friends after work, but they hold free LIVE MUSIC every Tuesday evening 6pm-8pm. The bands are ALWAYS great and are usually touring folk/country/Americana acts not from Lafayette or even Indiana. Jim does an awesome job at bringing amazing new talent for the Lafayette community to enjoy there every week, and is able to run sound and make it perfect volume every time I go. We as a community are so very lucky to have People's. Another indicator of how great this town is!! read more

We had a great meal & tasty beers. If you like White IPAs, Assassin is delicious. All their sandwiches were very saucy, everything was fresh, YUM! Our two servers/bartenders were very attentive, but chill. Perfect experience. (Very clean restroom also!) read more

Spring's been good to the local brewers, I gather, because the flavors coming out have been very tasty. Farmer's Daughter has been our favorite of late, but I also have very good things to say about the Irish Red and the Trent Pale Ale. All three are less hoppy than previous People's incarnations, but this makes them no less quaffable. This brewery is developing a deft hand with the maltier side of things, and those who have previously complained about too much hops may well find at least one or two varietals that will appeal. Yep -- People's is rockin' this town. read more

Sorry, this review is based upon policy, not the beer - we never got to the beer. We went to the smaller Revel room. It was a Saturday afternoon around 2:00. Me, wife, two teenage sons. When we entered, there were only 4 other customers. We sat down to have a few drinks and play board games. We were told they are "21 only". Seriously? You're going to turn away business when there's no one in there? I understand at night with the college nearby but a Saturday and a family. Plain stupid. Throwing away business. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the beers as I had only recall having Farmers Daughter Wheat Beer in the past. After this visit where we all got the samplers, there are several beers I'd like to have again! Our server was quiet but provided us with what we needed. We were lucky as well because we sat at a table next to someone who works at the brewery and she had all the infos! And, if the fact that an employee hangs out ther when they're not on the clock doesn't give the place good props, I don't know what does!! I don't know how regularly they have food trucks, but when we were there they had a food truck outside with menus on the table, and the food looked great! I would have definitely ordered if we didn't have later dinner plans! Instead, we were able to ask for some pretzels with our beers, so there's a snack option to go with your beers. They had one old school arcade game onsite. NOTE: We took an Uber, and was mapped to the back of the building. Do not FEAR! if you enter from 9th street, it's Much LESS SCARY AND WEIRD! You might have a do a U-turn because there's a median. read more
