    Every town needs a darn good brewery, and having Tin Man in Kokomo fulfills that need. Here's the lowdown: -Tin Man's location is downtown in an old train depot. -They are open Tuesday-Sunday. -The decor is super cool, following through with the robot theme. -The brewery is both family and pet-friendly. -There is free popcorn and water available as well as games to play. -While Tin Man does not serve food, they do allow you to bring your own or order from a neighboring spot (some of them even deliver to the brewery). -There is a full tap list plus guest taps and cans for cider and gluten-free beer. -The beer is great. The Damascene will be a forever favorite of mine. Their hoppy varieties are solid too. If this isn't a solid case to say no to a run-of-the-mill bar and spend an hour or two at Tin Man Brewing, then I shouldn't be yelping.

    Loved Sun King! Great outdoor patio area with lots of games for the kids. The GFS beer, an IPA, was my favorite. We ordered delivery from Marble the Steakhouse and it was incredible. Best burger I have ever had, hands down! Staff at Sun King were super friendly and accommodating. This is a great place to hang out!

    While in Kokomo, I wanted to make time to check out Tin Man Brewing. There used to be a sister brewery in Evansville that had a canning line, but they went defunct. I had tried some of the canned beer before, but now, the only way to drink Tin Man is if you go to the brewery to enjoy it (or pick up growlers). The brewery is located in an old train depot, so it has a bit of a historical feel to the place. With the Tin Man name, there is also a bit of a mechanical/robot theme that somehow ties together with setting. Here, you place your order at the bar which is on the north end of the space. There is plenty of seating facing the bar area for visitors, including families. Along the west wall, free popcorn is self serve from the machine and there is also a rack of games and even some merchandise for the brewery on sale. I went with a flight of five 5-ounce pours ($10). Although a couple of the options were out, there were still more than a dozen choices of house brews to select from. And I was glad to discover that I liked all five! I started with a collaborative Kokomo Kolsch (4.6% 17 IBU) that was made with Half Moon Brewing on the south side of Kokomo. I moved on to the Sandstorm Pale Ale (5.8%, 38) which is very floral, but not so strong that it overwhelms the flavor. The Love Virus Vienna Lager (5.1%, 18) is an Oktoberfest style beer that is rich in malts. The Snow Cap Milk and Coffee Ale (5.2%, 19) was a pleasant tasting beer not quite as strong as some milk stouts, but still good. I finished with the Ingot American IPA (6.5%, 54) which was just hoppy enough to satisfy that taste requirement without overwhelming the fruitty flavors or being too bitter. Service was friendly and helpful. They didn't even seem to mind when I asked questions about the place (which opened here in 2016.) Good beer and a pleasant space. I assume they will open the outdoor seating when the weather stays nice. Review #2488

    What a hidden gem for Kokomo! I have enjoyed beers from Tin Man for years and was excited to learn they opened a brewery in Kokomo. I went there and the ambiance was fantastic - the brewery is now in a former 19th century train station, which adds a historic flavor to the visit. One can sit inside or outside on the massive deck area. While they do not serve food, they do allow for delivery from other restaurants nearby; we ordered a pizza from Oscar's just across the street. They have an extensive beer selection. While I have loved their Apricot Sour for years, I tried their Ingot IPA and was pleasantly surprised by it's rich flavor without the overly-citrus aftertaste of many IPAs. We'll be back!

    Visited this brewery with a group of girls as we explored downtown Kokomo. It is in a old train depot and they have kept a lot of the original wood and fixtures. Great beer, and unique atmosphere.

    The beer is very good and restaurants near by will deliver food here for free. There are plenty of free board games that the whole family can enjoy too. I would come back here it's a good atmosphere. Dogs are welcome too.

    Amazing brewery! The environment is awesome. The originality of the train station and the repurposing of all the materials makes it a one of a kind brewery and a must see. I was extremely surprised and excited to find they had 23 of their own beers brewed locally right there. I tried them all! The manager even gave us a tour of the facilities. The beer was great. The place doesn't serve food but has plenty of other local eateries to choose from close by. They do serve popcorn and have lots of board games. Also is kid friendly. We will definitely be back.

It was far from the limited menu and "See here is our brewery equipment" place. Researching their website, we were convinced this was the place to be on our "chasin' racin'" weekend. My companion noticed that the clientele was quite diverse. I noted that also. We both agreed it was a sign of a thriving establishment. Autumn was our server and she was a lot of fun. Conversant, knowledgeable of the menu, and attentive, she was just great. One of my sides was a Caesar Salad. It was copious to the point that I could not finish it when it was appropriately brought out ahead of time. As a diabetic, I am concerned about carbs, but the Alaskan Whitefish grabbed me . While my plate was messy, I peeled off the coating and enjoyed the nice tender fish inside. In Tennessee, corn pudding is different than what they brought me, but it was wonderful. Bread pudding of the day was S'mores. I had my fill, brought home the rest and my family loved it. Local history was abundant. The menu held an article on local history and the lobby had many historic photos of local interest. I took many photos of them for remembrance. Chances are I will never return to Kokomo. But if I do go back. This is where I will dine.

I personally enjoyed a favorite of mine, a buffalo chicken wrap which was full of delicious flavors and ingredients. We were able to provide drink tickets, and the selection--from ciders to sour beers--was top-notch and well-loved by everyone. The space itself is warm, welcoming, and perfect for larger gatherings. The assortment of board games was a hit amongst our crew. I couldn't recommend Creatures of Habit more--whether it's for events, hangouts, or anything in between. Thank you again! We're already looking forward to our next visit.
