Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
Bibliophiles and craft beer enthusiasts of Indiana, rejoice! Did you know there’s an amazing place hiding in the Hoosier State that offers up delicious craft beers of their very own AND plenty of space to curl up with a good book? You read that right! Books and Brews is a delightful bookstore bar in Indiana that, once you visit once, you’ll find yourself drawn to again and again. What’s better than beer AND your favorite book at the same time? Not a whole lot.
This groovy little hangout has a nice and neat appearance from the outside.
Oh, and the books. It may not have as numerous a selection as a larger chain bookstore, but every Books & Brews location sells gently-loved books, graphic novels, games, and more.

Perhaps the best news of all is that it's ridiculously affordable - books are just $3 each!
Few things are quite as pleasurable as hanging out with friends and having a great conversation, or simply curling up with a great book and your favorite brew - both of which are possible at this awesome little bookstore bar in Indiana.
Outside of those, Books & Brews is always experimenting with new beers, all of which are given clever literary-themed names (because of course!). Even if you're not a huge beer fan, that's alright - the selection is large enough that you're bound to find something you love.
There's also the Mug Club for those of us who become hopelessly obsessed from the moment we walk in (guilty).
The mug club goes like this: for a one-time fee of $70, you get a wide swath of wonderful goodies. For example, you'll get 20 oz. pours for the price of the 16 oz. pours - forever. You'll also get a hand-made mug to take home (they're awesome, seriously), and a discount on all B&B merch. You also get access to using the bookstore as a lending library - borrow a book, bring it back, borrow another. There's all that and plenty more. Books, brews, and discounts: we're all about it.
Should you find yourself with the munchies while reading that brand-new book you're totally into and sipping a delightful craft beer, you're in luck: there's also a menu with snacks.
The giant pretzel might be our favorite, but it's hard to say. Much like the beer, the snacks at Books and Brews are delectable (and hard to stop at just one).
Come in with friends and have a cozy evening in sipping beers, playing games, and creating wonderful memories.
Books and Brews is a true Indy staple that every book-lover, beer-enthusiast, and snack-aficionado must experience at least once (though, much like the beers, snacks, and books, it's pretty hard to go just once).
