For the past five years, the Fishers Rotary Club has hosted a bi-annual Fishers on Tap event featuring multiple local breweries and restaurants at the Fishers on Tap event. The events have been held in the winter at Forum Conference Center and the summer at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheatre.
This year, the Fishers on Tap indoor event will be held in the spring.
“The indoor event at Forum Conference Center maxes out at a capacity of 400. That’s been a great event for us. It’s filling up and doing well,” Fishers on Tap Chair Bill Jerow said. “Wine tickets are there as well. Women let us know they don’t like beer and they wanted wine, so we brought a winery in with 30 or 40 tickets (per) event. It’s focused on Indiana craft breweries to support the local Indiana economy.”
Eight breweries and six restaurants will be featured at the event. Restaurants include Red Sake, Ruth’s Chris, Peterson’s, Rockstone Pizza and Redemption Aleworks. The two returning breweries are Bier Brewery and Grand Junction Brewing Co. The remaining breweries differ each year.
“We try to get the newer ones, those that are just starting up,” Jerow said. “All these funds we raise at these two events, sometimes as high as $25,0000 in good years, we donate back to the local community. We have a donation process these funds go into and an application process, and we push it back out.”
The event will be 5 to 8 p.m. April 15. Tickets are $40, wine tickets are $20 and glass purchases are required. Designated driver tickets are $20. Tickets include food samples, live music, giveaways and a 50/50 raffle.
