The Guardian Brewing

Such a great place! So many brews to choose from and their food is good too. I love their pizzas. The flavors are a little unique but delicious. Their team is so friendly and helpful. If they have time they are always down for a good conversation.

Heard they make their own root beer, so stopped when I was in town. Headed to a wedding after, so no time or need for regular beer just then. Needs signage. GPS took me to it, and I saw a parking lot nearby, but it's a nondescript building and nothing said the name or even "brewery," except a small logo on a door not visible from the street, and a mural inside also not visible from the street. Complaint only holds when the place is open, at least during warm weather. When it's closed, or during cold weather, the garage doors are down and it does have the name in big bold letters on that. But on a warm spring day for a person from out of town, there was zero indication that this was the right place. Sorry. Long gripe. Once I knew it was the right place, I had a good experience. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. An assortment of drinks. And a darn good root beer. $3 I think for a pint of root beer, and they offered me a big sample before that. The staff were helpful and warm, and proud of their products. I'd definitely come back, and get a gallon or growler to go if I could.

I wish there were more breweries like this in Chandler! Maybe there are and I just need to do some more exploring. I love a brewery that goes heavy on stouts. Guardian had 3 or 4 different stouts they brew that were on top when I went here. I had to get a flight, so I tried the Ogre milk stout, the Rainbow Pop IPA, the Strawberry Milkshake IPA, and an oatmeal stout. I think I also had a cream ale, but I don't remember. The strawberry milkshake was actually really good, and I enjoyed the oatmeal stout as well. The pizza options were also very creative. I went with the something punk with bacon, garlic aioli, and steak. It was really good! Different than a traditional pizza and so filling. I also love the space. It was a big open warehouse, but not too loud so you could enjoy a conversation with your group easily. The jukebox was a fun addition and we were hoping to play some pool but the two tables were taken while we were there.I don't know that I'll be back in Muncie anytime soon but if I can get my friends to ship me some beer I will definitely ask for stuff from Guardian!

First time visiting GBC and we all loved it. Already saw photos posted of same pizzas we ordered.Was not busy or full on a Friday night. Steady. Two pool tables, only one was being played. Kind of loud if you're trying to talk, but this is a bar to hang out, so enjoyable.

Staff was interactive, fun/funny, and helpful in recommendations. We started here for appetizers and trying new things as a start to our date night. The pretzel bites were with that homemade and fire grilled flavor-esk. The garlic bread was ok. Definitely not beer drinkers so we'll leave that adventure up to you and yours

Staff was fun, funny, and interactive. We stopped in for a couple appetizers as a start to our date night. The pretzel bites were to die for. A grilled, fire taste that hit just right. The garlic cheese bread was good, but nothing special. Overall, not a bad spot to stop in. We are not beer drinkers either so we can't comment on that aspect

Best pizza in town. I don't think Muncie is a great place for food in general but the crust punk is probably the best pizza I've ever had. Super creative toppings/flavors which you can't go wrong with. Only downside is that the place is usually busy (rightfully so) therefore the wait is usually a bit, but the pizza is made in whole for each person so it's fresh and always worth the wait.

Favorite brewery in Muncie by far. They finally started allowing kids in so we were able to come hang out on a Friday night with our family and friends. I had two flights and all 8 beers were good to excellent. Inside there's still a bar area that's 21+ but plenty of indoor seating for groups. Two pool tables inside as well as a nice selection of cans to purchase to go. I didn't have any food but what was on the menu sounded good.

The only good thing about this bar is the food. But do not drink the beer if you insist on going. The vats used to make beer sit outside risking bird turds contamination. Service is AWFUL. Good luck! You might have to wait 15 minutes to finally get acknowledged. HUH?????

Loved Guardian. Good selection of beers and friendly staff. Great environment - very brewery-like. Even bought a hat!
