About Sun King Brewery

Sun King Brewery on College Avenue is the downtown Indianapolis brewery that Sun King calls its Mothership. It is the only Sun King location that offers a tour with a tasting. The company now has tasting rooms across Indiana, at the Indianapolis airport and in Sarasota, Florida.

The year-round lineup includes Sunlight Cream Ale, Osiris Pale Ale, Wee Mac Scottish-Style Ale and GFJ IPA. Seasonals rotate through, and the 2026 Pickle Beer was brewed to mark 17 years of Sun King.

Its tasting rooms are casual, and you can watch the production brewing while you drink. There is also a beer store here. Every Wednesday night, Hambone's Trivia runs free games downtown, and all ages can play. Groups can rent space for private events through the Sun King event team.
