Brunzies

Best tap selection in Indiana at the time of this review: large variety of styles with a mix of local, regional, national, and a few import drafts. Burger and cheesesteaks (not authentic) were surprisingly flavorful. Outside of the breweries, this is where I’d recommend any beer geek go if they find themselves in Indiana.

One of the newest places in town, opened in Fall 2013. So Brunzies is not a college bar, or even a townie bar. There is an eclectic mix of folks here no matter when you step through the doors. On a Friday evening at dinner, there will be families with small children, young professionals, townies and some students, and even a table full of 70-80 year olds. Classic rock on the stereo, sports on the big screens, and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere all around. Truly a neighborhood pub feel. The food menu is one page, shared with Subs n Suds next door, but it’s good food and unassuming. They have a 20-tap system, glycol-chilled with short lines. About 60-70% is dedicated to really good craft beer, with the remaining taps for BMC/Guinness/Labatt/etc. Chris is great about getting hard to find one-offs and quarter barrels to keep things interesting. Happy hour from 9-11, half off draughts and other drinks.
