Metazoa Brewing Company

Metazoa is a pretty neat brewery. It’s definitely dog-friendly, and that makes sense given their donations to animal-related charities. So that’s pretty cool on its own, but the space is pretty nice too. It’s a tad industrial feeling, but it’s quite comfortable and the staff are friendly. The beers in my flight were good, but Trash Panda remains my favorite of their brews that I’ve tried. This brewery must be especially good during the warmer months when they can open up more. It’s definitely worth a try as one of Indianapolis’ bigger breweries.

Indy Brewery Exploration – Stop #4: Metazoa Brewing Company (Indianapolis, IN) As a biologist, I absolutely appreciate the name Metazoa Brewing Company—and this place lives up to it. It’s one of the most pet-friendly breweries I’ve ever visited, with dogs everywhere and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I was there on Halloween, and people brought their costumed pups in for "treats," which made the atmosphere even better. The beer selection was fantastic, with a wide variety and fun animal-themed names. My favorite was the Hoppopotamus—great name, great beer. Definitely a top pick for animal lovers and craft beer fans alike.

Amazing entertainment and amazing beverages. I had the cherry lime panderbear seltzer and my husband had the trash panda (vanilla latte beer) and both were fantastic. We had our newfie with us and he got all of the pets. We didnt get a chance to enjoy the dog park but we will next time!

What a brewery to visit if you love dogs and beer! Delicious and creative beers Friendly, welcoming staff Company donates to animal welfare causes Small dog park on site I wish we lived a whole lot closer Left with a wild work shirt and beer to go

We went here on a Tuesday afternoon. It was such a fantastic time! We brought our dog Stella with us and she was very welcomed! I didn't catch the guys name behind the bar but he was incredibly friendly and nice! So personable and answered all of our questions. I ordered a flight and my husband a regular beer. We ordered from a local food truck online (Cluster Truck) for delivery. Others brought in their own food. There is a good size dog park and it had some heaters going around the benches. 100% will come back again! Highly recommended!! Definitely go!! What a cool place!

Visited 4 breweries during our brief time in Indianapolis, and this was our favorite, as much for the dogs as the beer. Don't get me wrong - beer was on point. But the dog park and their commitment to helping animals makes this place really special. Loved hanging out and watching the dogs play over a delicious flight. Wish we lived closer!

Super solid brewery that flies under the radar. Fun animal themes for the decor and beer labels (which you can grab for free), and they specifically fund conservancy efforts with their profits. Friendly, quick staff. They do warn that nobody under 21 (no kids or babies, included) is allowed - plan accordingly. Enjoyed the visit!
