Description
Black Acre Brewing Co. is a small batch brewery located in Irvington, Indiana. The idea for Black Acre initially was conceived in 2010 due to our love of brewing, great beer, and the beer community at large. We created Black Acre with the goal of contributing delicious and unique beers to the community in which we live.
We hand craft our ales using a custom fabricated 3 barrel electric brewing system. Distribution is limited through our in house tap room sales, where both pints and growlers are available.
Visit the Black Acre Garden, Irvington's newest outdoor drinking space located at 5529 Bonna Avenue. The family and dog friendly Garden features a variety of Black Acre beers on tap with plenty of seating on the new deck, and guests invited to carry or order in food.

tap at the brewpub last fall - Pours black with a tan head. The aroma is of chocolate accented roast malt with a touch of licorice. The sweet roasted chocolate malt overpowers the 72 IBUs in the flavor, but that big pile of hops provides the needed balance. Itβs full bodied and the alcohol is well buried. The flavor is strong but not super intense. It works well. 400th Indiana beer rating. Huzzah!

tap at the brewpub last fall - Pours clear orange with a lingering head. It has a mild citrus aroma. The flavor is very good with a nice balance of crisp, fruity hops and malt sweetness. Itβs lightly carbonated, medium bodied, and leaves a pleasant lingering bitterness.
