A former livery stable was moved up the block to accommodate construction and serve as the comfy home to the third and latest outpost of this popular Bargersville brewery. Soaring ceilings, rustic candelabra lighting, brick walls, and a 3,000-square-foot beer-garden patio make this one of the most welcoming drinking spots for happy hour and pre-game libations. And a menu with favorites from the Fortville gastropub includes some of the city’s best frites, served with more than half a dozen special sauces or loaded with bacon, beer cheese, and scallions. Liège waffles come topped with such hearty add-ons as fried chicken and rosemary-scented maple syrup or cheesy, garlicky shrimp and grits. Grilled salmon, dolled-up mac and cheese, and a seasonal pork shank with mashed root veggies are typical (and elegant) beer-friendly seasonal offerings. And with 20 taps of now-famous house brews such as the Deduction Dubbel or Gold Standard Abbey Blonde, you can visit early and often and always find something new. Lunch and dinner daily, brunch Sunday. $$
