Fountain Square Brewing originally opened on January 21, 2012 and has been serving Fountain Square ever since, going through 3 ownership changes. Head Brewer Beppe Cuello, his service-industry-veteran wife Dama Cuello and 2 other investors including a prior brewery owner and an Indy attorney/homebrewer took ownership of the Fountain Square Brewery in January 2023, saving the staff, taproom, and this legacy brand from dissolution. In 2024, a new investor was added with great experience in the food industry and who regularly brings his Stix N Rice Filipino American Food truck to the brewery. With a rich 12-year history and over 1500 batches of beer brewed right here in Fountain Square, we are one of the oldest microbreweries in Indy and are now proudly a woman- and Latin-owned family business.
Since our reopening in March 2023, we have placed the focus back on the original tenets of Fountain Square Brewing: making delicious craft beer and providing a space for local artists to share their creations. The core beers you have come to love, such as Workingman’s Pilsner, Preacher’s Daughter Amber Ale, Hop 4 Teacher, Backyard Porter, and Soul Ride IPA, are improved without recipe changes. One reason for this is that our core, seasonal, and experimental small batches all incorporate as many locally grown ingredients as possible.
There’s always something to do at the Brewery. We have open stage nights on Wednesdays; karaoke every Thursday; and rotate between live music, drag, and comedy on the weekends. Many of our events are free. The Fountain Square Brewing taproom will always be dog-friendly! 21+ inside.
