Where to Drink - Great Beer, Bars, and Brewpubs in Indianapolis (Broad Ripple)

In Part 2 of our series, "Where to Drink - Great Beer, Bars, and Brewpubs in Indianapolis" (Part 1 here), we take a look at Broad Ripple Village. In 1990, it was in this Indianapolis neighborhood that John Hill started the Indiana craft beer revolution when he opened the Broad Ripple Brewpub. Twenty years later, Broad Ripple has become one of Indiana's best craft beer destinations.

Here's where you might want to visit should you find yourself in the Village in search of a proper pint and/or growler--
