10-56 Brewing (Craft Beer & Brewery in Knox IN)

10-56 Brewing in Knox, Indiana is what happens when a lumberyard decides it has had enough of sawdust and starts slinging hops. The result is a family‑friendly taproom ruled by Benson, a golden doodle who takes his job as chief morale officer very seriously. Here you’ll find a rotating roster of small‑batch beers, crisp craft ciders, and surprisingly good wines, each brewed with an eye on the local culture (the founders, who have known each other for years, wanted something that felt distinctly Hoosier).

The menu is a triumph of simplicity and imagination. The house‑baked dough forms the base for the award‑winning Petey‑Q pizza, a daring mix of sauerkraut, sausage and pickles, while cheesy garlic bread and burly burgers round out the offerings. A well‑curated vinyl collection hums in the background, and Saturday nights come alive with live music, trivia and brewfest shenanigans.

Outside, a sprawling patio dotted with games invites you to linger longer than a quick pint. Whether you’re after a relaxed afternoon or a lively weekend hangout, 10‑56 delivers quality craft without pretension, proving that good beer and good pizza still belong together.
