Here’s the scoop. Just a few blocks east of the Massachusetts Avenue cultural district and Lockerbie Square is the Holy Cross neighborhood. There you will find our brewery, Flat 12 Bierwerks, and our taproom. Our brewery is one year old, yet the beer has found its way onto 300+ draft taps in that short time with a strong line-up of house beers and specialties.

On foot, we’re just a few minutes walk from Mass Avenue. Walking east on Michigan, Vermont or New York gets you there. If you’ve hailed a shuttle, cab or friendly ride, direct them east on New York. (1 mile from Meridian St.) Google maps.

Directly across the street from the brewery is Smoking Goose Dorman Street Meatery. This fine butcher not only supplies handcrafted meats to some of the best hotels, restaurants and retail outlets in the midwest, they also provide their tasty protein treats to patrons of our taproom. It’s a match made in heaven.

A few shots from the neighborhood:

New arrival to the taproom: this guy. If you are the designated craft beer pack-mule of your household, circle of friends, group of confidantes, etc., this is your stylish savior. The Flat12 Jetpack keeps two half-gallon growlers cool and has ample space to add in other goodies: bullets, a sleeve of cups, etc. Available in the taproom: $35. Oh, Beer sold separately. 

The Flat 12 Jetpack

Serving Suggestion

We call it the “bullet.” It fits easily in one hand, or in a bag, or atop the crossbar of your bike, perhaps.

Proudly Filled with Flat 12 Beer, Indianapolis, Indiana

Why is there a post about this humble 32 oz beer vessel? Dunno. It just seemed like a good time to give a high five for convenience.

Thanks again to all who have participated in our first year! We wrapped it all up this past Saturday in fine fashion with special tappings on Thursday and Friday, plus a tap takeover in the taproom with 16 specialty beers. It was a great day – we had a blast. Many thanks to everyone who poured, rolled kegs in, checked i.d.s and generally ensured that everyone had a great time on Saturday. Cheers to Brian Deer and Tad Armstrong for getting things started musically. And to our brewers for taking the music selection over at closing time. And cheers to Corey and everyone at Smoking Goose who went above and beyond to keep hungry patrons well-fed.

Fellas getting ready. 16 specialty beers to be poured.

A great crowd came in to celebrate our 1st Anniversary.

Regular hours prevail Thursday (4-7), Friday (12-8) and Saturday. The taproom will be closed Sunday, New Year’s Day.

Happy New Year!
