Check out Bare Hands Brewery in Granger, IN (basically in Mishawaka) and Iechyd Da in Elkhart, IN. Both are great new breweries in our fine area. If you want some great beer and food, there is Fiddler's Hearth in South bend, IN. Great tap list and great pub food (I love the scottish burger). All less than 15-20 minutes out of Mishawaka. There is also Greenbush Brewing Co about an hour away in Michigan.
Also, I disagree on Taste of Asia, I would favor J. W. Chen's in South Bend, IN for the best Chinese food in the area. The lady that run's the place is amazing as is her cooking. Khun-Daeng Thai Kitchen is also amazing for Thai food, I could live on that place alone.
Also, the Potawatomi Zoo's Zoo brew is sept 7th.
