Irvington brewery reopens nearly 1 year after damaging fire

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Black Acre Brewing Company has reopened its East Washington Street taproom Saturday after a fire forced it to close.

Customers were able to stop by and get a drink from a limited menu.

The taproom was destroyed in a fire last December.

One of the owners, Justin Miller, said it’s been quite a journey, especially rebuilding during the pandemic.

“It’s mixed emotions for us because you’re really excited, but then there’s still everything else going on,” said Miller. “There’s still a lot of hardship, but I think it’s a great step forward for us.”

The taproom’s hours are:

  • Sunday: noon to 8 p.m.
  • Monday and Tuesday: closed
  • Wednesday and Thursday: 4-9 p.m.
  • Friday and Saturday: noon to 10 p.m.
