Heartwork Brewing is Bloomington’s independent, local, family-owned, and veteran-owned brewery founded in 2021 (opened November 30, 2023). We brew small batch with an emphasis on lagers.

We are dedicated to evolving modern brewing and hospitality standards in Bloomington, Indiana.

WATER

We filter our water and build mineral profiles with reverse osmosis. For example, the water profile for our German Lager was matched to the Isar River in Germany.

No algae blooms, no coconut powder, no limestone, no PFAS.

Water is the most abundant, and most important, ingredient in beer. Using reverse osmosis systems and mineral profiles like this is an advanced technique more often found in beer hubs like Nashville, Denver, and Seattle. And now - for the first time - Bloomington, Indiana!

PIZZA

We also use reverse osmosis to clone Naples, Italy water profiles for our pizza dough. Our dough is cold-fermented for 3 days before being baked at nearly 900 degrees in our Alfa Forni open-flame oven (imported from Italy).

Come try our handmade food offerings during kitchen hours: Wednesday-Sunday from 4pm-9pm.
