Noblesville Rotary Club’s popular BrewBQ returns in August. The food and fun returns for the 10th year to Federal Hill Commons from 4 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 8.

“We’re excited to formally announce the 10th annual Noblesville BrewBQ to be held on Saturday, Aug. 9 at Federal Hill Commons!” Noblesville Rotary Club President Jeff Chinn said. “This is a fun charitable event that allows the community to come together to support a great cause, while also sharing their love of BBQ, live music, and beer.”

This is not just a fun event for the community to enjoy the BBQ, brews, and music. Proceeds go to scholarship funds to support Ivy Tech Hamilton County students. Local Rotarians are passionate about providing opportunities in these technical fields of study, especially with Noblesville’s focus on economic development.

“Ivy Tech Hamilton County cherishes our partnership with the Noblesville Rotary Club,” Ivy Tech Hamilton County Chancellor Dr. Rachel Kartz said. “The annual BrewBQ is a great event that brings the community together around great food and great times while also supporting Rotary’s efforts of providing scholarships to local students attending Ivy Tech Hamilton County. We are thankful for this long-standing relationship with the Noblesville Rotary Club and look forward to many more years to come.”

Noblesville Rotary also allocates a portion of the proceeds to support the Noblesville High School Robotics Club, which has grown tremendously under the leadership of Andrew Wilkins, who has been nationally recognized with an Outstanding Teacher Award from Project Lead the Way (PLTW).

The BrewBQ holds a BBQ Grilling Competition with an opportunity for attendees to taste some of the best BBQ around. The contest will feature an immense array of unique recipes from BBQ’ers across Noblesville and Indiana alike.

Live music throughout the evening will be played by local bands including Rhino Down and That’s What She Said.    Beer will be on tap from several local vendors.  The Bier Brewery will be back this year and has won multiple medals at prestigious brewing competitions, including The Indiana Brewers’ Cup, the Great American Beer Festival, and the World Beer Cup.

Primeval Brewing in Noblesville will also return once again.

“We love being part of the community and are super excited to be able to serve beer this year at the Rotary Clubs’s BrewBQ!” Primeval Owner Tim Palmer said.

Northbrook Brewing of Arcadia will return, as well. For those who enjoy wine, Spencer Farms Winery will be present with alternatives to beer. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available.
