I love coming to this beautiful brewery. They have great food. The service is always helpful and friendly. Tongue in cheek merchandise that will make you smile. A gift shop just outside along with a beautiful monastery.

We wanted to see the monastery buildings, and were pleased to find there's a brewery on site as well! Signage on the property is clear and parking is easy.Inside, the aesthetic is a little over-the-top Catholic; our server explained they're not officially affiliated with the religious institution but respect their space. Okay. The light fixtures are cross-shaped; I'm always surprised to see otherwise-cheery places decorated with a tool of torture and murder. But I digress... signs with Dad-joke-level beer/religion puns dot the walls. A t-shirt is printed with the Blessed Mother and "Ale Mary". Just one person was on staff on the rainy weekday of our visit. He greeted us, took our drink and food orders, then stepped away to the kitchen. It didn't take long for him to resurface with chicken wings and toasted ravs (that's what we call them in St. Louis; here I believe it was "fried ravioli".) He defly worked both front of house and back and kept up with the steady stream of lunch patrons. Beer's good! We were in the midst of a road trip so I had a flight; best to try several with minimal impact to my driving game. The blueberry wheat is especially nice; it's just a bit fruity and crisp. The Winter Warmer was left over from Christmas season and had pleasant notes of baking spices. The Irish Red, called Sister Mary Rose, was my fave. Food was just fine as well; what we ordered was the sort of fare that arrives frozen and is dropped in a fryer. The dinner menu looks to include some home-cooking, which looks even better!

I had a perfect evening here. For me, that's an evening with some beer, some wifi and a peaceful spot where I can sit with my laptop. And despite the family atmosphere with a few kids running about, I was undisturbed.I had two absolutely terrific beers and sat at a table outside the main dining room next to the office. A power outlet there and so I not only wrote a half dozen or so Yelp reviews, I was able to fully charge all of my electronics before heading onwards. For me, that's a perfect evening.There's a friendly vibe here. Folks coming and going, families who haven't seen each other since last week, a beertender who wanted to make sure that I was satisfied with my beers. Love it.[Review 565 of 2024 - 160 in Indiana - 21596 overall]

I'm guessing this is about the 20th time now that we made the 1 hour trip here over the past few years. If you want a smooth beer, I'm still in love with the Blueberry Wheat Beer. Sounds nasty but it's the one we take home in our growlers each and every time. Today I ordered a cheese pizza with both banana & jalapeno peppers, it came out quick and hit the spot. The food and service were a winner. Thanks for always being a place that you can count on to deliver.

Brewery in a church! What more could you want. Smells like fried food but beers are tasty. Pretty out of the way but a great stop if you find yourself in/near Ferdinand, IN.

Absolutely loved the beer! My favorite was Santa's Winter Warmer. So delicious. My only disappointment was it was all sold out for purchase to take home!

I'd definitely recommend this brewery in southern Indiana! Cool setting on a monastery and has a delicious selection of craft beer. I tried a flight of four beers - each was great and would recommend. I tried their blueberry wheat, Belgian quad, Irish stout, and their amber ale. Their Belgian quad, Dark Souls, was my favorite but this brew is dangerously delicious while being 10% ABV so consume wisely!

Great wood fired pizza and craft beer in a picturesque setting. You'll enjoy the drive, can buy growlers to take home, and stop at a winery on the way home (headed East).
