1515 Wells Street · Fort Wayne, Indiana

Forged in Grit.
Poured in Stein.

A neighborhood brewery on Wells Street — between the rivers, the TinCaps, the Komets, and Fort Wayne FC. Two brewers, clean honest lagers, and a taproom built for easy conversation. Doors open this September at 1515 Wells Street. Follow along as we finish the build-out and get ready to pour.

Our Story

Once a historic meatpacking facility, 1515 Wells Street has been reimagined as a neighborhood brewery. We've preserved the building's original brick and steel bones to create a simple, welcoming taproom — a few blocks from Parkview Field, the Memorial Coliseum, and the heart of downtown. Run by just two brewers, our focus is entirely on the craft—pouring clean, honest lagers and keeping the conversation easy.

Indiana Code Title 7.1 · House Menu & Local Partnerships

Under Indiana Code Title 7.1, we maintain a small house menu featuring a rich Beer Cheese Soup and hot smoked brats. However, we highly encourage our guests to support the legendary restaurants sharing the Wells Street Corridor with us. Order delivery directly to your stool from neighbors like Klemm's Kafe, Don Chava's, or the Original Big Eyed Fish.

House Menu

Wunder-Käse Soup

Rich beer cheese soup kept warm behind the bar and served with soft pretzel bites — our answer to Indiana's food-service requirement, done well.

House Menu

The Compliance Brat

Hot smoked brats from a local producer, served simply on a bun with mustard. Honest, hearty, and always ready when you need a pint partner.

House Menu

Compliance Pour

Cold brew coffee, ginger beer, and local organic milk — on the menu because the law asks, available because we like good neighbors.

Fort Wayne Sports Broadcasts

When our hometown teams are on — TinCaps baseball at Parkview Field, Komets hockey at the Coliseum, or Fort Wayne FC at Lutheran Health Field — we tune in at the taproom. Away-day radio feeds, home-game screens, Steins raised for Fort Wayne.

Every Saturday

Root for Fort Wayne

TinCaps · Komets · Fort Wayne FC · Our City

Wunderwerks sits on Wells Street in the middle of Fort Wayne's downtown corridor — a short walk from Parkview Field, the Memorial Coliseum, and the rivers that give the city its name. We built this taproom for neighbors who love where they live.

Midwest League

Fort Wayne TinCaps

Baseball · Parkview Field

When the Caps are on the road, we pipe the broadcast into the taproom — baseball, Steins, and Wells Street on a Thursday.

ECHL

Fort Wayne Komets

Hockey · Allen County War Memorial Coliseum

Komets nights mean hockey on the screens, cold lagers, and the kind of loud, loyal crowd the Coliseum is famous for — without leaving downtown.

USL League One

Fort Wayne FC

Soccer · Lutheran Health Field

We cheer on Fort Wayne FC with match-day pours and a taproom full of supporters — local soccer, local beer, same city pride.

Around Town

Rivergreenway

Twenty-five miles of trails along the St. Marys, St. Joseph, and Maumee — perfect for a pre-pint walk from downtown.

Three Rivers Festival

Fort Wayne's signature summer block party. We're a short walk from the action when the city comes out to celebrate.

Arts Campus Fort Wayne

The Embassy Theatre, Arts United Center, and Hall Community Arts Center — culture and concerts at the heart of the city.

Headwaters Park

Ice skating in winter, festivals in summer, and one of the best gathering spots between the rivers and downtown.

Science Central

A Fort Wayne institution in the old City Light & Power plant — family-friendly, industrial bones, very Wells Street energy.

Johnny Appleseed Park

Home of the Johnny Appleseed Festival each fall — heritage, community, and the kind of local tradition we built this taproom for.
