INDIANAPOLIS (January 15, 2020) – Ale, Stout, or Lager, no matter what your favorite may be, Indiana has a craft brew for you.

“Almost 200 craft breweries call Indiana home and make a signifcant impact on our state’s economy,” said Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch. “According to the Brewers Association, local craft breweries have contributed upwards of $1.6 billion to the state in previous years.”
