Daredevil Brewing

Great space! Awesome owners and brews w currently 10 brews on tap… Including a just added great Doppelbock! Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Look for Anniversary specials in Jan (Tap take overs at Thunderbird (w BBA Muse & JWP), Tomlinson, Twenty Tap etc… Featuring special Raredevil brews; and the beer pairing dinner at Black Market is a must!!).
They currently have Liftoff (IPA), Ripcord (DIPA), Vacation (Kölsch), JWP (American Stout) and Muse (Belgian Strong Golden) in 4 Pk pint cans for carryout as well as the rest of their brews available in awesome 32oz Crowler cans that they fill and can at the bar as well as 64oz Growler. $ 5 off growler fill on Fri/​Sat for January 2016. Gift cards available as well as glasses and shirt merchant swag!
Delivery from nearby restaurants (BBQ and Bourbon, Dawson’s & Lino’s to name a few) or bring in carryout. Charcuterie is now available from Goose the Market!
They’ve recently extended their hours: Tu-​Thurs 2 – 9, Fri 3 – 10, Sat 11 – 10, Sun 11 – 8 (for football season)?, closed Mon.
Warmer weather opens up an awesome outdoor space w live music, food trucks, and corn hole.

Daredevil Brewing got my attention with their IPA, Liftoff. Was probably a favorite until they opened in Speedway and tried their Ripcord (dbl IPA) which is spectacular and worth the drive!
Now that it’s cooled off, try their JWP American Stout, equally good.
Growlers rotate routinely thru the «dedicated» beer fridge at home.
Go Colts! And bring some Daredevil!

Great stop on the brewery tour in Indy. All the styles have a unique taste that spans across anyone’s palate. Old school canning operation makes me want to work for beer in the back room. A must stop along the way. Rip Cord the bomb!

I’ve got a lot of love for local breweries, and I have to hand it to the (currently) only one in Speedway, IN. I’m happy to have an option in that area, but a couple things make this an «A-​OK» experience for me.
1) The outdoor situation. They have a massive, fenced in outdoor courtyard. I was there as a part of their Hops and Flip Flops event (I participated in the 5k and hung around for the free beer). My wife attended, but only walked the 5k, so she brought our dog along. Dogs are NOT allowed inside the fenced area outside. It seems like such a perfect place to have a K9 companion, that it made me sad to stand outside the fence with him. So much so that I didn’t stay for the additional parties (beer fest and block party) happening after the 5k.
2) The beer selection. They have very few beers available, one of which is always liftoff IPA. Liftoff is a nice, mild IPA, but I get tired of drinking it when its 1 of 2 options. Especially when the second option is something like a Kolsch.
I’m willing to forgive the dog friendliness, not everywhere is Broad Ripple. But I just need more beer from you, Daredevil. What you do isn’t bad, just do more of it.

Went for a beer before a sunset walk with the dog. Checked before we left and website said patio so we were good to go. Dog highly trained and well behaved I might add. There was only one other couple at the entire brewery at the time. We pulled up and said oh there isnobody here. Fine by us patio to ourselves. While we were drinking our beer minding our own business the manager walks up and says the owners wife just informed him no dogs on the patio. Dog free facility. I informed the manager there were no signs and nobody else at the facility inside or outside they may want to be cautious turning away business since there was nobody there. Also a side note… The Liftoff was skunky likely due to age. We won’t be back. First and last visit. Good luck to you Daredevil. If it were my facility and I had two couples and a dog at my entire place of business I would likely make all feel welcome. Before your wife had the manager let us know we were not welcome we were planning our next trip. Not our fave beer but facility was nice and convenient to our hiking spot.

I am recently discovering Speedway outside of the one day in May that everyone else does. The reason I decided to check it out was due to Daredevil’s opening.
Daredevil has a great location and venue. The patio is great with live music and space to talk and play cornhole. There is plenty of parking! The beer is good, but I wouldn’t say it was great. I look forward to more beers that they put on tap. So far I have stuck with Lift Off each time I’ve been. My husband and I will continue to go here due to the close proximity from home and the venue but I would love to see more adventurous beers.

This brewery continues to impress. They started slow, rolling their brews across different pubs in Indy. Now that the taproom is open I feel the sky is the limit for them. They take beers and do them well. Period. Not to mention you get an authentic brewery experience (not the restaurant with a brewery moniker thrown in). Check it out, you won’t be disappointed. Great experience for lovers of beer. Best kolsch I have ever had!

Well! What can I say more than I really like this place. The site is perfect, beers are awesome and the people who work there very and friendly and it’s in my town. Love it.

I want to give this place a higher rating because the building is so awesome, but I just can’t.
First, the good:
The indoor/​outdoor areas are great. Plenty of seating, open and airy. Very industrial and modern. There’s a large outdoor patio/​yard area on the side where food trucks can park and bands play. Beers for on-​site consumption are sold by the pint and run from $ 4 to $ 5.
Now, the bad:
They only have 3 beers generally. An IPA, a double IPA, and a seasonal. Their signature beer is the Liftoff IPA. You can find that all over Indianapolis. The Rip Cord Double IPA is much harder to find. And good luck trying to get your hands on the seasonal (today was the Vacation Kolsch) anywhere but the taproom.
The Liftoff IPA is a pretty standard IPA and is very drinkable. The Double IPA was a little rough around the edges. It’s a shame because on Thursdays they tap a firkin with an experimental beer. Today it was the Rip Cord finished with citra hops (and 1 other hop which I don’t remember) and was much smoother than the Rip Cord. The Vacation Kolsch is intended to be their summer drinking beer. It is very flat and just reminds me of a your typical macro light beer. Definitely a «lawnmower beer».
They can produce many more beers than they currently do due to the size of the production area. They know this too as they are only using 4 of the 12 available taps.
You can sample any of the beers for free and either buy pints to drink there or to-​go beer. You can bring your growlers (more on that later) or half-​growlers (aka bullets, howlers) in and have them filled with any of the house beers. One neat thing they have that you don’t see very often is the availability of crowlers (canned growlers). They have a machine that will fill and seal a 32-​oz can on site for ultimate freshness. Of course it’s not reusable.
Growler fills are $ 12 which is a little high for a house beer, but this is how they really screw you over:
A little background: Indiana law says that anytime you refill a growler, it has to be labelled with the place you had it filled. Most breweries consider this the cost of doing business and just slap their sticker on your growler, no problem. However, at Daredevil, if you don’t use one of their Daredevil-​branded growlers (which they will be more than happy to sell you), they will charge you a $ 1 non-​Daredevil growler sticker fee to slap their sticker on your growler. I have been to dozens of microbreweries and this is the first time I’ve ever seen this.
Main St in Speedway is growing like crazy and this is sure to be one of the anchor attractions. I just wish Daredevil had better/​more beers and they didn’t try to nickel and dime you along the way.

Great patio space for enjoying a pint of Lift Off al fresco!
Very clean and functional design. I love that you can smell the hops in the air!
Three brews on tap atm. No food or snacks bc it’s mostly a brewery/​taproom but they have a delivery partnership with nearby Speedway restaurants like Barbecue and Bourbon. Arrangements like that make me happy because it shows the cooperative spirit of a neighborhood, and this one is growing!
Very close to the Speedway– this place is going to be packed during races!

Can’t give it too great of a rating Bc they just opened and only had 2 beers. The atmosphere is fantastic! We will have to come back in a couple of weeks.

3…2…1…Lift Off! Great brewery near the Indy Motor Speedway. Def worth a visit if you’re nearby.

I live in Cincinnati… and this place reminds me of of what Cincy already has. It’s a VERY nice space. No smoking patio… but who needs cancer anyways. They only had 2 beers on tap but they were both delicious… especially the IPA. It’s right by the Indy 500 business so thats pretty legit. I would definitely go back. Also the staff was very nice.

Very great beer. Nice modern aesthetic. Plenty of room to grow. I enjoyed this greatly!

Very nice new building and location, Daredevil Brewing Co. is a perfect new addition to Main Street in Speedway. Said hello to Michael and some peeps I knew from Sun King and drank a delicious pint of Liftoff IPA with my BFF Colleen.

Daredevil Brewing has a happy, open atmosphere. High top tables and challenging stools.
There are only two beers for now, a Kolsch and an then an IPA. $ 5 each fir now. Food can be brought in from other locations. So, the beer is good, but I wish there was a little more substance here.
