Been there a million times. Drive 20 miles from Fishers just to taste their award winning craft brews. Good friend, nice servers. A real gem in the Indy area. Their Razz Wheat is so good that even other brew pubs sell, as well as a lot of other regular pubs. Very tasty stuff.
Thumbs way up.

This is one of the finest micro's just south of Indy. Great food and service but the Snake-Pit Porter is the best Porter I've ever had with a hint of chocolate and rosted malt flavors coming out in every enjoyable sip. The Indiana Amber is also a great beer. Super atmosphere for the guys or the whole family and in the summer it has a beer garden out back. Just off I-65 at the Greenwood exit, it is worth the stop.

Stopped shortly after the opening bell. 8 beers on tap; they offer a 5 beer sampler tray, but you can only pick one of the five. Rules, rules, rules!? Bu$ine$$?? Begian White nondescript, Maibock not bad, some maltiness there. Super Fly IPA pretty good--hops dominate but is not harsh. Bar area windows give view of brewery--dining area partitined off. Bleach aroma was almost overwhelming--makes you wonder...

We sit down at the bar and order two beers. I order a barley wine, and my girlfriend gets something else, I forget. The waitress snotily tells me "there is a limit of three on the barley wine". Thats fine, even makes sense, who would want more than three anyway. I ask her, "So if I am drinking shots of Jack I can order as many as I want?" She just muttered some more snotty stuff as she pretended to work on more important stuff. I encouraged my girlfriend to jump over the bar, pull the bartenders shirt over her face and beat her in the head hockey-style. She declined but admitted it was tempting. Blow this joint off, the beers are average at best and the service will drive you to drink (not that that is a bad thing).

Stopped by on an afternoon the Colts were in a playoff game, so the place was hopping. But, that said, the service was good.
They had ten beers on tap (well, actually nine--the tenth was their Belgian White mixed with blue food coloring for Colt fans.) They have a handpump, but they had nothing on cask.
I tried the IPA, a Pale Ale, a Porter, and a Razz Wheat. The IPA seemed to be a typical American style IPA and was heavy with the hops--it was good, but a little harsh for my taste. The Pale Ale has a very nice aroma and it was my favorite of the ones I tried. The Porter was served under nitrogen and was a bit of a disappointment--it was easy to drink, but there really wasn't anything distinctive about it. The Razz won a silver medal at the GABF and it is good--but would be better on a hot summer evening than on a cold and snowy January afternoon.
They also had a Dubbel, Amber, Belgian White, a Cherry Ale, and something else I can't remember.
They have a full menu. I had the cajun steak tips appetizer and they were good.

I visited this brewpub on 11/22/04 and had the following; Indiana Amber, Razz Wheat, Gnawbone Pale Ale, Snake Pit Porter, & Alabaster Belgian White. This was my third stop in Indy and it was the best of the three. Easy to get to off the freeway and plenty of parking. The beer was so good I had to bring home a 6 of Snake Pit and Gnaw Bone, which they had available in a cooler at the door.

I have enjoyed the bottled versions of the Gnaw Bone Pale and Indiana Amber and have been wanting to visit this place for quite some time. I think many people would absolutely love this place and nothing I say is intended to discourage a visit--I'm just giving the facts, filtered through my personal perception. First, the 2 bartenders were awesome and very friendly. You couldn't ask for more. Second, The Gnaw Bone Pale was great, but my (Spitfly?)IPA definitely had an off-flavor. That makes for an average of "good" although maybe sometimes the IPA is fine and the beers should be rated higher. The decor is very, very nice. The place was just too smoky for me, and located in a strip mall at an interstate exit. I am taking the suggestion of many smokers I know, and voting with my feet by moving to a non-smoking state, and I like BPs that are funky old downtown places. (Think Troy, Gritty McDuffs, Green Man, Lafayette Brewing, Arbor, etc.) So Oaken Barrel really doesn't do it for me. If you don't mind smoke and location, you will love it. The beers here are far better, to me, than the chains in downtown Indy.

I tried the pale ale and IPA, and both were excellent. I usually head up to Broadripple brewpub to get a great IPA, but this one was just as good. The food was good, and our server really went out of her way to provide excellent service. A great place!

The beer tasted great, and they had at least 7 to pick from. The cajun beef tips were tasty, but extremely chewy. The pico de gallo side dish was mainly just cut up tomatoes. I plan to go back to try more of the beers and food.

Best brewpub in the area. The food is wonderful and servings are plentiful. The Gnaw Bone Pale Ale is my favorite. Don't miss this brewpub.

Got here at opening time and all the bar taps were down, but the server was pleasant and went elsewhere, returning with a sampler. Beers Ok to good, with the Gnaw Bone Pale being my choice. Very subdued lighting for 11:30AM, definitely need a no-pest strip for the flies buzzing around.

I found the beers to be good here. They are not outstanding but the food is good and the brewpub is definitely worth a visit. The beers are better 60 miles up I-65 at the Lafayette Brewpub. Indianapolis should be able to come with brewpub beers as good as they make in Lafayette but so far the Indianapolis brewpubs are lagging behind.

Very mediocre beers but food is good as is the service. This is a good place that needs a little kick in the a-- to get it over the top. I still visit whenever I'm in town. It's important to support microbreweries.

This is by far the best Brew Pub in the Indy area. Don't waste your time going to the other "Chain" brew pub's. SHould just go here first! Pale Ale was awesome...as well as the Porter. Not usually a big fan of Red beers...but their Amber was delicious. Stout was tastey as well

Porter was excellant. So was the chicken/corn chowder. Idaho nachos were a little disappointing in that they are not served with enough salsa or sour cream and as a result seem a little dry although the portion was more than ample. Disappointing aspect was that they wouldn't sell me a mixed 6-pack. I had to choose one beer and go with it. Come on guys, lighten up.
