Description
The Broad Ripple Brewpub was established in 1990 by Englishman John Hill, born in Middlesbrough in North Yorkshire, and his wife Nancy, a Hoosier native. It is Indiana’s very first brewpub (a restaurant that brews its own beer) and the oldest operating brewery in the state. The Brewpub was designed to recreate a typical English pub with its dark wood paneling, leaded stained glass windows, decorative tin ceiling, and cozy fire place. The Brewpub has one of the largest outdoor cafes in Broad Ripple Village, seating up to seventy people.

Draft: Pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is reminiscent of Juicy Fruit Gum.... Taste is definitely bubblegum. A pretty darn accurate representation of it’s name.... Different.....to say the least.

Draft: Truth in advertising DOES exist! Aroma and taste come across as just what the name implies... Very impressive to make it so reminiscent of an actual cinnamon roll.... Quite nice.
