USA, IN: New craft brewery coming to Indianapolis

A microbrewery is coming to downtown Indianapolis, in an area near the Cultural Trail that’s experiencing robust residential building activity.

Owners of the upstart TwoDeep Brewing Co. have signed a long-term lease to occupy the 7,000-square-foot ground level. They hope to have the brewery and tap room operating by mid-May, Indianapolis Business Journal reported on January 2.

Indianapolis native Andy Meyer, 34, quit his job at NCM Media Networks to launch the operation after he “fell in love” with craft beer while living in Chicago, he said. He enrolled in the Siebel Institute of Technology, a brewing school in the Windy City, to help hone his skills. Two other partners also are involved in the business.

“We’re right on top of the Cultural Trail, which is a huge asset for us,” Meyer said. “[The area] is unserviced, in terms of what we’re doing. We’re truly creating a destination for people.”
