Lafayette Brewing Company - Lafayette, Indiana

 

Lafayette Brewing company is one of my favorite places to go for appetizers and drinks on Main Street. They brew their beer and a hard seltzer in house and have a rotating list on the tap. It is very much American bar food, but I haven't had a bad meal here. It's also extremely reasonably priced with beers around $5, cocktails around $8, and food for the most part under $18. 

The Drinks 

They have a cocktail list that changes seasonally. At the time of writing two of their drinks on the menu are a cranberry margarita and the Captain's beer. The former is a really delightful take on a margarita and the later a mix of Captain Morgan with a housemade rootbeer. 

If you stop by, the beers on tap are the highlight. They have a wide selection of beers, my favorite being the While E Ki Yoti which is a fruity IPA that is perfect for the summer. 

The Food

I never not crave the chicken and chips from Lafayette Brewing Company. It's like chicken tenders but better because it's beer battered like the fish in fish and chips is. I've also had sandwiches, salads, and their nachos and everything is great. 

It might not be the fanciest restaurant on Main Street, but Lafayette Brewing Company is a place that I like to go when I want to catch up with a friend. There are a few tables outside that are first come first served, but as of summer 2021 the inside tables are spread for adequate social distancing.
