This was my first introduction to self-pouring taprooms. An employee showed me how to work the taps for best effect (hold glass at 45 degree angle and let glass touch tap). I've now been here at least three times; I visit in the summer when I visit family in the Region. The patio is dog-friendly. An employee opened the patio door for me and even gave my dog water. The beers change constantly. On my last visit, there were predominantly IPAs. No witbeers, no wheat ales. The employee told me it was a supply issue, especially during covid. There's a pizzeria next door, Squigi's, that one can order food from and eat in the taproom. I'll be coming back again and again. Until next time! read more

Great place to hangout! Relaxed atmosphere, reasonable prices, many beer choices and friendly staff. Good beer, good cheer , good life! read more

Brewfest - a bar with a long counter and shelves of beer - Beer Gardens Near Me - Highland, Indiana

Nice selection and variety of craft beer and ciders. Also carries one or two domestics. You self pour and the beer is priced per ounce. Pour as much or as little as you want. read more

Love this place! Friendly staff and always fresh craft beer. Relaxing atmosphere never misses.

This is a great little place. It's a self-pouring taproom. Go to the front window, get a "card" and bring that card with you when you want to pour yourself a beer. Grab the glass size of your choice, place the card above the tapper (so you can pour the beer) and... pour! Then sit down and enjoy. You can have as much or as little as you want. Very cool concept. read more

Garbage service. Will kick you out for having an ID expired for 2 months while your boyfriend and family are there but allow 8 year olds in. They're garbage and suck. And they don't even provide enough beef for customers..what kind of bar doesn't have enough beef for everyone..a garbage ass bar that's what. Fuck this place. read more

I love this place! Excellent service. Great prices. And just the fact that you can try every beer on the menu without having to pay for a full glass makes this place a winner!! The staff is super helpful and nice. Great music. Awesome vibes. Everything about this place is amazing!!!! read more

Like the concept!! Good atmosphere. A little loud... But what do you expect.. It's a bar!! Pretty good. Free pretzels and popcorn. Play any of their house board games. read more

Brewfest - Taste all you want. - Beer Gardens Near Me - Highland, Indiana

20 differant pour your own brews with board games and live music. This might be were I want my ashes taken when I pass on to the glory. Honestly, when I was invited to brew fest, I almost passed because I didn't want to deal with the crowds and smells and parking of a fest so imagine my surprise when I finally figured out it was a self-pour bar?? And by surprise, I mean delight. Walk in and head right to the cashier. You can give a license or a card and they will hand you a brewfest card. This card is linked to your "account". There are two walls to the right, with 20 different brews. Amazing. There is a staff person standing there ready and willing to answer all of your brew questions. There is a digital sign above each brew that gives you a description, the name and the alcohol content. From there, you make your selection - you place your card in the black holder near the digital screen and pour any size you like - but be warned, you may hit your responsibility limit and if that is the case, just go and see the cashier. There are complimentary snacks - pretzels and Doritos in little paper bowls which I thought was just so delightful! There is an indoor section and outdoor section along with live music and a wall full of board games. We played uno. Awesome time - exceptional service - great beer selection that changes often. I'll be back for sure! read more

Brewfest - Beer and uno? Awesome. - Beer Gardens Near Me - Highland, Indiana

This place is fantastic! An opportunity to try an ever rotating menu of craft beers. There's something for everyone and you can choose from small tastings or a full glass. Their pay for what you pour concept is genius. read more

One cool ass place. Twenty craft beers on tap and you pay by the ounce. Great idea. Very easy to do. Choose from one once to sixteen ounces. Different glasses for different types of beers. Cool ass music videos playing on the tv. Free popcorn, pretzels and Doritos too. We had a bunch of beers for under twenty bucks! Wish this place was closer to me. Give it a try , you won't be disappointed. Outdoor beer garden too. read more

This is a great place to hang out and chill with friends and you bring your own food if you would like. Brew is self serve and draft that you pay for by the glass. Good time! read more

Self Serve Beer!!! This place is amazing. I walked in and gave the cashier my credit card and she gave me a Beer Card that I used on the taps. The best part is that I could try 20 different beers without having to pour full glasses. I HIGHLY recommend coming here to try it out and pour your own beer. Such a great experience. read more

Brewfest - Truly beautiful :) 20 taps of self-serve beer - Beer Gardens Near Me - Highland, Indiana

Great craft beer spot, excellent service and great beer, and craft selection. Self service very interactive and informative.

This is my favorite beer bar. Over 20 craft beer options from your local favorites. They also have some breweries that are located on the east and west coast. The beer is always rotating, so you're always in for a new treat. I've found about 5 beers that I discovered here so far. Free snacks too! You can also bring in your own food. This is the 1st beer vending/self serve beer option I've ever been to. read more

Pretty awesome place ! Great beer selection , good prices , perfect atmosphere . They don't have food on site ( well besides pretzels , popcorn and pizza ) BUT you can have food delivered ! All in all I will be back ;-) !! read more

Great staff & great atmosphere! There's always a good choice of brews on tap from local breweries! Evan, Nick, & Eric are all great employees who like to have good conversation! Definitely recommend if you're into craft beer! read more

Fun time at this pour your own brew house! Guy at the check in was super friendly and walked us through the how to's if this place. 20 beers on tap - some variety but heavy on the IPA's. Can't beat the price - friendly atmosphere and good beer. read more

I love this place! All the love to brewfest!! I love the fact that I could have as little or as much of a beer as I wanted. I tried so many beers the time that I can here it wasn't even funny! The nice thing also is that behind the counter they have things like Mike's hard lemonade, sangria, Lambic and a few other things so people that do not like beer can have something to drink as well. It's nice because I can bring my non-beer drinking friends here! They have a good assortment of games to play while you drink. They have popcorn and pretzels to eat but you do not pay for. They also have the game time games with the little electronic unit. The place is clean and the bathrooms are pretty clean too which is always a bonus. No one likes to use the bathroom when it's gross! The staff is really friendly! The way it works is that you have a card that is given to you and you have to slide it into each beer choice and it measures how much beer you drink and how ever much beer you drink is how much it costs. So you could drink an ounce of one beer and it could run you a dollar or something. I'm not sure on how the pricing works exactly but it wasn't too bad. You get a clean glass and there's instructions on how to pour your draft beer. After you go to your next selection you get a new glass. You can create your own flight or you can just try a little bit of everything and have a huge glass of your favorite. My husband and I share the card and we learned that after so many ounces you get cut off. We had to ask the staff to open the card back up. Obviously just one of us didn't drink that much beer. Since there are no bartenders that can cut you off they rely on this message so that people do not over drink. You can ask for another limit and by doing that you have to talk to staff. They can tell at that point if you do not need to drink any more beer! read more

Great place if you are new to beer or interested in trying new styles of beer. You get to pour your own beer and how much you want of it. So if you are not sure you are going to like a particular one, you poor yourself just a taste of it. Then if you like it you can pour yourself a full glass or you can go on and try a different one. They have games for you to play and a bit of food to choose from. read more

I'm giving 4 stars because I love the concept. Awesome and unique idea especially considering the craft beer culture. The only downfall, which will be a detriment is the lack of variety of beer styles. Way too many IPAs!! Bring in some Brown ales....PLEASE! Not everybody likes IPA! read more

What an awesome idea! Self-serv (craft) draft beers dispensed by placing a plastic card onto the desired tap, which is provided in exchange for your debit/credit card. The beer is charged for by the oz. and comes out to be an amazing deal! There are enough beer options to satisfy anyone's taste but no hard liquor:( Most importantly, the bar has games available or bring in your own to play on the large wood bench style tables. The owner is incredibly nice and snacks like popcorn and pretzels are available on the house. The place has more of a restaurant feel than a bar but this is not really a shortcoming. You should absolutely be tipping at the end of your drinking experience but serving yourself means smaller tips and smaller staff costs which is a win-win! Good songs were peppered in with horrible songs but still totally worth it! read more

Nice place came in a light night..so the guy behind the counter explained how the card worked..I will be a repeat off this place for sure..

Nice atmosphere, good music and clean. I sampled 6 different beers and found a favorite so far. Will go again to try others.

Really fun concept, get a card, pour your own, samples, pints, whatever. Good selection too. Staff was really friendly, and the atmosphere is super chill. High tops, booth seating & a fun outdoor patio (too bad it's over looking Kennedy), but still super cute. Wish they would expand to Hobart! It would be perfect in our downtown! read more

Checked out this place tonight after reading about it and all I can say its awesome. Brilliant idea ! It will for sure attract alot of business from Chicago. Its chill, great beer selection, reasonable prices and great location. Board games to keep you busy and self serve, great operation system. read more

I have been going to this place since it first opened. I always have a good time when I go. The selection of beer is great, the staff is friendly and the place is clean. They don't have a food menu but allow you to bring your own food. The place is perfect to hang out and be able to have a conversation with the people you are with. read more

Outstanding place for craft beer. 20 pour your own taps. The new owner is knowledgeable and friendly. Since you pour your own beer it is easy to sample. Or ask the owner for his expert advice. (He'll probably pour you a sample or two.) Free popcorn or pretzles and you can bring in your own food. Or enjoy the pizza from next door. Can't recommend more highly. read more

Great beer, free snacks, what's not to love? Lots of varieties of drafts and they are different every time I go. Chill atmosphere and definitely a favorite of mine in the region. read more

This place is awesome! You can drink as much beer as you want with free snacks. It's best that you can control the amount of beer.

I hate giving bad reviews, but it was my first and last time going here. Loved the atmosphere. However, the staff was very drunk and rude. I went up to pay for my tab and no one helped me for about 10 minutes because the staff was drinking. It is very unprofessional when other customers have to ask if everything is alright because a staff member came yelling at our table for dropping a couple of lids on the floor. He yelled, "I'm not your mother. You make my job difficult and I have to pick up these lids." We were playing Uno and did not notice them on the ground. He was very passive aggressive and made everyone (7 of us) feel uncomfortable. read more

Perfect place to sample a wide range of local craft beers at an affordable price. Free snacks and board games. Post up here with a few friends and you're in for a great time. Awesome, friendly service too. Go! read more

My new favorite local bar! The beer selection is self serve and amazing! Was given tons of free pizza and snacks. Also have bottles and things like jumbo pretzels. I bought some touch tunes credits and got to be DJ basically for an hour or two. They have games too! Played poker, uno and yes...OPERATION! TVs had on the hawks game and a basketball game. Super chill, love it! I'll be back and will be bringing more friends! read more

Great concept, I love being able to serve myself and try something that I don't usually get a chance to try. No food available but they provide plenty of snacks plus there are food trucks there sometimes. I also love being able to sit outside. The only complaint I do have is that they allow smoking on the patio. They have an area marked off as a smoking zone but people don't abide by it and the rule isn't enforced by mgmt. Besides the patio isn't that big anyway so you still get the smell of smoke. I don't appreciate the smell of smoke interfering tasting the flavors of the great craft beers. 4 stars for now 5 if they were no smoking. read more

Cute place with a great atmosphere. Buzztime trivia and a variety of free snack foods accompany 20 rotating brews on tap which you can help yourself to while only taking as much of each as you'd like. Taste in sips and only commit to a full pint of what you want. Flight sized glasses are also available. read more

A great place to start a brewery tour. They had a great selection of beer from local breweries. We found our favorites then proceeded to visit them. A great concept, we would highly recommend. read more

I went here for the first time today, and wasn't sure exactly what it was. The staff was so helpful in walking us through the concept of the self-serve beers and how to track how much you're spending. What a cool concept and atmosphere. My favorite part is that you can create your own flights. read more
