Indy was named the No. 3 beer city in the country, so it doesn’t surprise us to see so much beer-related news being released at once.

To help you beer connoisseurs stay in the loop, here’s what’s coming down the pipeline.

Chilly Water Brewing Co.

Chilly Water Brewing Co. is heading farther south. The brewery said it plans to open a 1,200-sqft taproom in Greenwood this summer — adding a Johnson County location to its lineup of two existing spots in Indianapolis.

“We have a lot of loyal customers who live [in Greenwood],” brewery owner Dan Krzywicki told IBJ. “We’re excited to be part of their community as they’ve been part of our operation for so many years.”

The company is targeting a late-August opening at 1480 Olive Branch Parke Lane, Suite 400, which was previously Pawsitively Perfect Dog Grooming.

Upland Brewing

This popular brewery, with several locations including Fountain Square and College Avenue, announced on Thursday, June 29 that it’s expanding its offerings in the Carmel area later this summer.

The new tap house will be at Clay Terrace + is expected to be ready for business in late August. It will feature a rotating beer and seasonal food menu. This will be its second location in Carmel.

Bier Brewery

The brewery, which currently has locations in Indianapolis and Carmel, announced it’s making its way to Noblesville — and things are officially in motion. Within days, it will be breaking ground on its new taproom with a 1.5 acre biergarten.

It will be located on four acres of land and its family-friendly taproom will offer:

Dog park
Kids playground
Community work space
Pizza + wings
Bike parking with access to the Allisonville Road Trail
Award-winning biers

“Yer a wizard, Indy.”

The results you didn’t know you were waiting for are in + it’s time to study up on snakes and don your best green scarf. That’s right, the Sorting Hat has officially deemed the Circle City as Slytherin material.

The number of bachelors degrees per 100,000 people (thirst for knowledge)
Pro sports championships (athleticism + bravery)
Average hours worked per week (ambition)
