The Noblesville Rotary Club has announced the return of the Noblesville BrewBQ. Due to last year’s cancellation, this is the fifth year of the event. It will be held from 4 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 21 at Federal Hill Commons in Noblesville.
“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,” said Carrie Dixon, President-Elect of the Noblesville Rotary Club.
Proceeds go to supporting local students who attend Ivy Tech Noblesville Campus with scholarship funds. According to event organizers, there are not many scholarships available to students in technical fields of study.
Event organizers issued a statement that said, “We are passionate about providing opportunities in these fields especially with Noblesville’s focus on economic development.”
“We are so thankful for our partnership with the Noblesville Rotary and grateful for their support,” said Stacy Atkinson, Chancellor for Ivy Tech Hamilton County. “The BrewBQ is a great event to support their efforts of providing scholarships for local students to attend Ivy Tech. We are thankful for the long-standing relationship that the Noblesville Rotary has experienced with Ivy Tech and look forward to many continued years.”
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.
Music throughout the evening will be from local bands with returning headliner That’s What She Said from 7 to 9:30 p.m.
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.
“Bier Brewery has participated in the BrewBQ for the past few years and what a great event!” said Jerry Connor of Bier Brewery. “The fun, camaraderie, the community spirit is just so enjoyable. Bier Brewery would not miss this great event.”
Other beer vendors for the event include Four Day Ray of Fishers and Field Brewing Co of Westfield. For those who enjoy wine, Blackhawk Winery and Vineyard, located in Sheridan, will be returning this year. Blackhawk Winery is a family-owned farm, home to a winery with 10 acres of vineyard.
“The entire Associated Drywall Partner’s crew is proud to support Noblesville Rotary and this year’s BrewBQ event!” said Joe Carnavale with Associated Drywall Partners, a Platinum Sponsor. “Great Music, mouthwatering BBQ and craft beer – what could be better on an Indiana summer evening?”
Other committed sponsors include Meyer-Najem Construction, FC Tucker – Andy Liechty and Associates, Claussen Dixon Insurance, Eimerman Law, Blades Audio Visual and USI Consultants. Event sponsorships are still being accepted, and the Noblesville Rotary is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
