A conversation with the Nicole Oesch and Ryan Oesch, the couple behind Kismetic Beer Company. It’s a deep dive into taproom aesthetics, beers that inspire, and community building.
Located in a warehouse space in the city’s near-east side, the taproom is immediately comfortable to first time visitors. The beers are thoughtful, creative, and the kind of beer you wish there was more of in the world.
The brewery, which has a kind of speakeasy vibe, opened in 2022 and has been quietly garnering attention from the right kind of beer fans. Both Nicole and Ryan have extensive experience in the beer and hospitality industry and Kismetic is a reflection of all the notes and thoughts they have taken and had over the years, in anticipation of having their own space.
It’s a cant miss when you visit Indianapolis and you’re about to hear why.
