Nine Mile Brewing

2 drinks per person!? No idea who makes these rules up, so unnecessary. Don't make me work for the beers. Also don't get me wrong, beers are good, so is the space but pours for porters and stouts have to get better, the stouts are runny. Sorry I sound like a Karen but you're a brewery I expect more, sorry. Anyways, it's a great spot in the neighborhood. They let dogs and kids in, cute. Go! enjoy!

Nine Mile Brewing is the "new kid on the block". As the first craft brewery in Bloomington after the City changed their rules. My buddy and I were out for some good beer, and to see this new craft brewery. We were meeting friends for a business meeting. Location is "ok", but it took us awhile to actually FIND the place - Google got us close, but there is not good signage on where the place actually is located, and where to park. It's located in a 1-story office building area of Bloomington. They all look the same here. Tougher for us to find in the gathering darkness. The brewery is LARGE, and open in terms of floorplan. It was difficult for us to have a good meeting because of the loud and boisterous crowd. It was crowded, which I love to see! There are lots of sofa spaces, an indoor fireplace (not running), high-top tables, lower large tables, and of course ample bar space. We didn't see food being served here. There were dogs present, but not that many. Beer offerings were straight-forward, nothing "out of the box". But we have come to expect this kind of line of tap beers for relatively newer breweries. There's a cream ale, a couple of NE IPA's, a standard ale, one sour, and a line of hard seltzers. I tried the "Current Obsession" NE IPA, which was decent and straight forward, and their "Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Milk Stout" that - despite the name - didn't impress me. I couldn't taste much of any in the name. Oh well! There were 8 beer lines open on the night we were there. Someone here loves Star Wars stuff, as there's lots of that around the room. Also a large wooden canoe, and ample lighting. This brewery will evolve into a solid offering, I feel. It's new, and it was crowded when I was there. They need better signage outside, I feel. There is a private room for rental. Edit: Came to Nine Mile a second time - it was MOBBED with people, still great beer offerings, and when it is full of people, it is LOUD in there! I had a pizza from the food truck that was parked in the rear of the brewery - delicious! So fun time. But did I say IT WAS LOUD IN THERE? Wow. My ears were ringing at the end of the night (we closed her down!).

Nice brewery! We went on a Friday night and sat outside- really nice outside seating option in a beer garden, plus they had a food truck there till 8 pm which was fantastic. Plenty of beer options, but I personally got a mango margarita. Saw couple of customers came with their dogs, nice that this place is pet friendly. Recommended.

Fun newer taproom with several beers to choose from. There seems to be a bit of a star wars theme in all the characters and toys hanging from the ceiling. Lots of Indoor seating and a patio for some outdoor seating as well. Set in a one level commercial building with lots of offices around. I would imagine parking is difficult when this place is busy.
