Terre Haute has a storied past with the brewing and distilling industry. It's one of the many aspects that helped put this town on the map! Some local Hautians today are still pursuing that passion. Here are five unforgettable places to go to support local brews and booze: TERRE HAUTE BREWING CO. Bearing a well-established name (dating back to 1837!), the Terre Haute Brewing Co. is located in what was once the heart of the local brewing district (near Poplar & Ninth streets). The THBC offers a variety of events, food, and beer that they brew in-house! From light beer that most will enjoy to the hoppy brews that you learn to love, the Brewing Co. really has it all. They partner with the community often and you can bring your pets in for a visit, too.
