History
Books & Brews opened March 21st, 2014, after a successful Kickstarter campaign in October of 2013. The store is a combination brewpub and used bookstore that operates on book donations and gives 10% of the revenue from book sales back to Indy Reads, who helps promote literacy throughout Central Indiana. After less than six months in operation, B&B expanded into the adjacent suite to create more room for patrons and add extra storage for the brewery. On July 1st of 2016, B&B opened a second location in Zionsville at 65 Boone Village.
