Cannon Ball Brewing Company

We are very excited to share our passion for great beer and delicious food with you in our intimate location at 1702 Bellefontaine Street in downtown Indianapolis. We are a very small craft brewery with a main focus on quality, seasonality and culinary inspiration. Our goal is to bring together thoughtful beer, delicious food and a sense of community to a great little corner of downtown Indianapolis. We have an electric, 2 barrel brewing system which will allow us to brew up some solid classic styles as well as experiment with some interesting flavor profiles.
You will find us in a great little historic building in the Kennedy King neighborhood of downtown Indianapolis. Our building was built over 100 years ago by F.X. Erath to house his butcher shop and deli. The front of the building still has the limestone plaque with his name and the south side of the building has plenty of visible ghost signage from that time. We couldn’t wait to breathe new life into such a great historic space. We hope that Mr. Erath would be as happy with what his beautiful little space has become as we are, and we hope that you will enjoy it as well.
