So that's where "Hinchtown Hammerdown" got its name?

Flat 12 has a subshop inside the brewery. Chilly Water (Fletcher Place) has food as well. Fountain Square Brewery and Indiana City are great spots and they allow food to be delivered to the brewery so you can eat there. St Joesephs Brewery & Public House is a little north of Conseco (Mass Ave) and that is a full blown restraunt with their own brew. All are great spots and within 2 miles of your final destination. Tow Yard would be your closest location (across from Slippery Noodle) and they have sandwich options.

Indiana city brewing company has the best beer in Indianapolis hands down. Right downtown also. Amazing things going down over there. No food though.

Don't know about breweries but my friend tells me going to Indy w/o going to BBQ Heaven is a wasted trip

BBQ heavan is horrible, even King Ribs is better than them. Real, good BBQ go to Pit Stop BBQ in Brownsburg. You won't be dissapointed!

Also Bourbon and BBQ on Main St. In Speedway. Good beers on tap and Daredevil brewery right across the street.

I want to thank everyone for all the recommendations. I wish I could hit them of all. As it turns out, gonna have to keep it within walking distance of the big show. Thanks all of you and Chris I might just take you up on it

So which one are you going to?

As of now, I haven't fully figured it all out. Looking at maps and such. Looks like fountain square and chili water are close. Been to tow yard and sun king already, but the invite from Chris sounds good. Still seeking opinions however, and thanks again to all. We have 2 of life's greatest joys in common!

I have never been but i have heard good stuff about St. Joseph Brewery and Public House.
