About Klooz Brewz, Brewery & Public House
Klooz Brewz, Brewery & Public House in Lebanon, Indiana has assembled an interesting combination: a craft brewery on the Boone County courthouse square with a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich that reviewers have pushed to the top of their personal lists. The BPT and the brewery don't seem like natural partners until you're sitting there with both in front of you, at which point it makes complete sense.
The tenderloin at Klooz is a large cut, at least a half inch thick throughout, on a toasted bun that reviewers consistently praise for its quality. The "Ole Indiana Benedict" — a specialty preparation that layers the tenderloin in a breakfast-style treatment — has drawn specific praise as a menu standout worth seeking out. Consistency is the one thing that reviewers watch closely here: at its best, Klooz produces a BPT near the top of many people's lists. The chili has its own fan base, and the pretzel with beer cheese has shown up in multiple review photos for good reason.
The brewery side produces its own craft beers on site — sodas for non-drinkers too — and the historic Meridian Street location in downtown Lebanon puts it in one of Boone County's more charming settings. Klooz occupies the kind of downtown Indiana building that makes a brewpub feel right at home. Lebanon is a well-preserved small city that rewards wandering, and Klooz is a natural anchor for it.
For anyone on the Indiana tenderloin circuit or routing through Boone County between Indianapolis and Lafayette, Klooz Brewz at 125 N Meridian St in Lebanon is a legitimate stop. The combination of a solid pork tenderloin sandwich and house-brewed beer in a downtown Indiana setting is hard to beat.

Let me tell you this BPT was awesome! Tender, juicy, and tasty. If you're in the area or passing by it's worth the stop. Side note: the chili was awesome too. And our server, Leslie, was fantastic!

We really, really liked this stop. The bun was toasted and the tenderloin was sooo good! It is with a couple now at the top of our list!

Good size, good breading, great flavor, and awesome bun! One of the very best I’ve had. Including a pic of the pretzel with beer cheese because it was also excellent.

I tried the “Ole Indiana Benedict” for lunch... The BPT was large and at least a half inch thick throughout most of it. My wife had the traditional BPT. Everything was fantastic with leftovers for this week.

I’ve visited Klooz Brewz in Lebanon, Indiana, a few times and loved it but I had to share this update: I went twice within a week last week and wow, what a difference in quality. The first picture is from 11/6 and the second is from 11/9. Same sandwich, but definitely not the same presentation or portion. Still had good flavor, but seriously… WTF happened? Consistency matters and I’m hoping this was just an off day because Klooz usually delivers.
