Bloomington Brewing Company
1795 E 10th St.
Notable brews: Rooftop, Quarrymen

In the midst of a busy campus lies the Bloomington Brewing Company. Located adjacent to Lennie’s at 1795 E 10th St., the BBC on 10th Street is the flagship brewing site to the much larger brewery on the west side of Bloomington.

While the other brewery now takes care of the larger production of some of company’s best-known brews, the BBC at Lennie’s focuses on specialty and seasonal brews.

The pub at Lennie’s strives for intimacy. There are no televisions – a welcoming feel and face-to-face conversations can be expected while enjoying a BBC beer.

At any given time, patrons can taste some of the 14 different types of BBC beer found on tap at Lennie’s.

This fall will see the emergence of BBC’s Homegrown Ale, which contains hops grown on the BBC’s farm. By the end of October, BBC head brewer Floyd Rosenbaum hopes to have a Java Porter on tap as well as a dunkel weiss, or “dark wheat.”

Rosenbaum and the BBC will be at the Big Red Beerfest on Oct. 4-5 with samples.

For anyone who lives by the “drink local” code, be sure to enjoy some of Bloomington Brewing Company’s craft beers, especially over a hot Lennie’s pizza.
