    Hey guys I just found out I'll be headed to Indy tomorrow to watch the NCAA championship game. Any suggestions near Lucas Oil for a good craft beer bar? I've been researching my own but didn't know if any of the bars near by has anything special on tap for the occasion.

    Thanks in advance!

    Go Duke!

    If you prefer to stay closer to the downtown area, there's always Sun King, their tasting room should be open tomorrow.

    If you head to the Broad Ripple area (just 8.5mi ~20 minutes north of downtown Indy), there are multiple craft beer spots -

    HopCat Broad Ripple: (130 beers on tap) http://hopcat.com/broad-ripple
    The Aristocrat: (around 60 beers on tap) http://www.aristocratpub.com/Home.html
    Twenty Tap: (actually closer to 40 beers on tap, don't let the name fool you) http://www.twentytap.com/

    Enjoy your time in Indy!

    If you want to stay really close (like walking distance close) you could also go to Tavern on South, they've got a pretty decent selection of local breweries on draft as well as bottles/cans - http://tavernonsouth.com/menu/

    Don't forget the Ram and Rock Bottom. On Washington Street and within 2 blocks of the arena.

    A Yard House Craft Beer Bar and restaurant just opened a few blocks from Lucas Oil Stadium. I haven't been there yet, but here's their beer menu. http://www.yardhouse.com/menu-listing/beer Around a 130 taps I believe.

    Also, if you happen to have an Iphone there's a great free App called "TappedIn" that will show you what people are drinking at all local bars and breweries based on your location. The App just alerted me that Yard House had KBS on tap as of yesterday. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tappedin-socially-curated/id928045189?mt=8 I'll be down there as well tomorrow night. Hoping for a great game.

    Special on tap for the occasion? Don't know. You could try Tow Yard or Tomlinson Tap Room downtown. Or the Bier beer garden at Circle Centre. Or any pub on Mass Ave or up in Broad Ripple if you're willing to Uber, cab, or bus it.

    Definitely Tomlinson although I don't think they open until 4 on weekdays. If you are there all day head over to mass Ave. Good food and most places have craft beer.
