BBQ & beer will help fund Ivy Tech scholarships thanks to Noblesville Rotary

Noblesville Rotary Club’s popular BrewBQ returns in August. The food and fun will fill Federal Hill Commons from 4 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 17.

“We’re excited to formally announce the 8th annual Noblesville BrewBQ to be held on Saturday, Aug. 17 at Federal Hill Commons!” Noblesville Rotary Club President Carrie Dixon 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 and beer.”

This is not just a fun event for the community to enjoy the outdoors and music. Proceeds go to supporting local students who attend Ivy Tech Noblesville Campus with scholarship funds.

“There are not many scholarships available to students in technical fields of study,” Dixon said. “We are passionate about providing opportunities in these fields 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.”

The BrewBQ holds a BBQ tasting contest 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 from local bands including Strawbury Jam 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 is also returning for a second year.

“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. “Beer and barbeque pair so well together that this will be a wonderful combination to bring together.”

Joining the festivities for the first time this year is Northbrook Brewing of Arcadia. For those who enjoy wine, Spencer Farms Winery will also return this year.
