Indianapolis has become a haven for beer enthusiasts, as the greater Indy metro area has about 40 unique breweries, making it one of the best American cities for craft brews.
After Indianapolis got third place in USA Today's poll of cities with the best beer scenes, it relaunched its Indy Craft Pass program that features 42 distinct breweries and pubs.
It's free to sign up for the pass, and you can use it to get unique discounts on different beers. You can also accumulate points to redeem for prizes like t-shirts and koozies.
Indianapolis also has different beer-themed festivals throughout the year, including Oktoberfest, the Winter Beer Fest in February, and the annual Indy Brew Battle in November.
Another reason for Indianapolis to be on your beer destination list is the Brewsline. This bus tour can take you and up to five other guests on a pub crawl of your choosing.
