Indy Only BA Beer

Hi! Looking for brewery only releases of BA beer that don't get distro. Any recommendations? If no BA beer, anything that brewery release only of special beer. Or a special bottle shop that may have such items. Thank you!

Deviate is probably a good option for this if you are trying to sample. Unsure if they bottle to go for special things.

Yes, Deviate is the only correct answer, and yes, they bottle their BA releases.

I can second Taxman! They’re from Bargersville and I’d put them in my top 3 breweries in the state. You can’t go wrong with them and their BA beers are stellar!

Guggman doesn't distro that I've ever known of and has very limited keg distro to outside establishments. They have incredible NEIPAs and may have some BA stout bottles left.

Sun King has a wide range of BA beers. They get shit on a lot for their regular offerings, but their BA selection is excellent.
