My favorite watering hole in downtown Lafayette. Thieme & Wagner is Indiana's oldest beer that a family member resurrected in recent years. Everything I've tried is delicious. Today, im enjoying the Grumpy Brewer hazy IPA. You honestly can't go wrong with anything they brew. The 1918 Bock is the original and is absolutely worth trying. read more

Delicious. Cozy. Great drinks. I tried to take a picture of the food and beer but it just plain tasted too good. read more

Good time. Came to town for the week and this was a 5 minute walk. I like trying local breweries. Friendly bartender and very upfront with local info. Had several beers including the Kölsch, Pilsner and Bock, all very good and tasty. I ordered a pizza from down the street, which they allowed, and then trivia started. Very jovial and a few bar folk took me into their team. Fun place and highly recommend!! read more

This is a fun brewery that is easy to overlook as you're walking around the area but certainly is a place to stop in. Not only are there a variety of beers on tap to try but they have cocktails that are unique and delicious. The historical pieces all over the bar walls mixed with the dollar bills on the ceiling from patrons, give you entertainment for the entire time you're there. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend - cheers! read more

Awesome brews good food prompt courteous service quaint warm decor old fashioned corner tavern

A friend recommended that we meet here for a beer. I arrived first (mid afternoon) and I was the only person in the place. The decor is features the history of the brewery that was a fixture in the early days of Lafayette. The descendants of the original owners are operating its revival today. Although the place is small, it feels cozy and comfortable. The bartender made a great recommendation provided a taste test. I got the Christmas Chocolate Stout. All I can say about this draft is WOW WOW WOW! So smooth and velvety! I've been telling everyone about it, and I might go get a growler for home. There is a food and appetizer menu, and limited cocktails are available. I will be back someday to try the food and will report on that later. Thieme & Wagner are a great addition to the downtown pub scene and worth a visit. read more

Not especially welcoming when I went. Beer was fine, not anything to really mention. Maybe I just caught this tiny place at the wrong moment. read more

Great selection of beer, great food, and wonderful owners. It has a very friendly atmosphere!

Great spot with great history. Owner/brewer was friendly and shared much of the family brewing history. We sampled and purchased a couple of superb IPAs. Awesome place with excellent brews. We'll definitely return! read more

Nice little brewery nestled downtown on Main Street. Decent selection of original beers, but they also offer beers other than their own breweries. They have a craft cocktail menu as well. Flights can include just beer, or you can even add two of their speciality cocktails to the flight for an extra charge. The bartender when I was there was very friendly and conversational. One of the owners was there as well, but he was less than friendly. Never said hello or anything despite me being the only customer in there at the time and I was sitting at the bar right in front of him. I had also made a point of saying that it was my first time and I was going to post a Yelp review. read more

I met this very kind and young, old soul, his name was Zach. He inspired me and I think I may have inspired him on his walk of life, we spoke of spirits and IPAs and we even spoke about our strength in our faith in the Lord. He shared a little bit of his story and I shared mine and although his page is about to turn and he's going to be traveling on something else, I'll be back. The energy was great in their and it looked really nice. They had a lot of historical pictures and some funny pictures as well. Maybe something Facebook would make a mean out of. I normally do, but I decided not to eat, I was their strictly to taste the IPAs and he ended up giving me their signature German inspired IPA. Zach tells me it's a crowd favorite and I can see why. Can't remember the name, even being part German, but the whiskey he served on the rocks was just the first place I'll hit tonight. Live to prosper. That bartender is going places, strive to inspire, everyone. Happy Memorial Day and enjoy this time with the Lord and family. read more

I'm a fan of family owned generational small businesses. Thieme & Wagner is a classic example. That said, there is plenty of room for improvement. The food was limited, and honestly not very impressive. The burgers were adequate, though fries cost an extra $3. The sausage and cheese app looked to be straight off of a grocery store shelf. The beers were the highlight, though. We appreciate the availability of a beer flight. The beers were decent but nothing exceptional. read more

Fun little tiny tidy hole in the downtown good eats strip offering a cozy old fashioned atmosphere and basic menu items custom to a small brewery. I sampled a few though the bartender seemed a bit drunkenly distracted with some youthful ones at the bar wasn't waiting too long but felt like I was interrupting a friend click putting forth my growler to fill up. Went with a basic stout on tap and enjoyed a good price for the fill up, doesn't campare to Escape Velocity's award winning Magnificent Desolation but very easy to enjoy. There's great classic pub vibes here I could see enjoying with a handful into the night as the hours are more suitable than others. Will need to sample the food too! read more

Brian and his family created a real gem with the bar front. I always enjoy stopping in for a beer, whether it's Tuesday's Champaign Velvet special or one of the House beers. The vibe is historical hipster in my view, with some old school community connections tying things together. There's lots of memorabilia on the wall and in display cases. The pretzels are free and the bathroom is clean. The beers are good and the conversation and hospitality are even better. I enjoy T&W every time I visit. read more

Never been here! What a neat little brewery loaded with history! Owner is Fantastic! I tried the classic BLT and it was delicious on a pretzel bun. The ice tea has a nice orange kick to it! Definitely be back! read more

Many new brew pubs take 3-5 years to get their beers dialed in, but David Thieme has his dialed in right out of the gate. Not just a cool story, excellent beer to go along with it! Next time you're downtown, stop in and check out the beer and family history on display. read more

Nice cozy little spot to enjoy beer downtown. We did the 2 cocktails + flight special for $17.50 which is a great deal. The flight came with 6 beers but they seemed to be out of most things we were wanting to try. The bartenders did not know how to make an old fashioned even though it was the second drink on the menu, so it took 15+ minutes to get the 2 cocktails we ordered. The Pals brew is good and overall this place is definitely worth a try. read more

I've been here many times. It is really hit or miss on service, especially depending on if the owner and friends are present. During the last visit we waiting 20 minutes for service before giving up. The owner was there with his dog but they were busy attending to his friends. It's frustrating to not know what you're walking into and if you'll be able to get a drink. Good drinks with fair prices when you can get someone to even just take your order. They don't seem to have the specialty cocktails anymore, at least the last few visits. read more

Very quiet, cozy, little bar on Main street very close to Professor Joes. They have some beers on draft and a few good cocktails. It's a nice break from the loud, busy bars in the area and the service was good. Did not try any of their food, but you can deliver pizza from Professor Joe's next door. read more

I visited here mid day Saturday with some friends while we were in town for the day. The place was empty when we arrived and remained that way the entire time. It's a neat little place...super small, but I love that. I did find it very odd though that the bartender didn't say more than 3 words to us the entire time we were there. I also did not like their beer selection. The 4 of us had a really hard time finding something we would like and ultimately none of us really liked our beers. Disappointed because I had high hopes! read more

Great spot with attentive staff and excellent beers. One of the first bars I went to in Lafayette and was not disappointed. Great place to hang out with friends and play music on the jukebox. read more
