06 Apr The May Gathering of the Indiana On Tap Tasting Society
(Sponsored by Yelp)
When: Friday, May 15th from 7pm – 10pm
Where: The Speak Easy in Broad Ripple (5255 Winthrop Ave., Indianapolis, IN)
The Indiana On Tap Tasting Society is a group of Indiana craft beer lovers who convene once monthly to enjoy unique Indiana craft beer, wine, mead, cider, spirits, art, music and more. No two monthly events are the same. If it’s Indiana made and it’s new or unique, we will have it and we want you to try it.
The goal of these events is to showcase our state’s fine breweries, wineries, distilleries and artisans by bringing something special and different to our audience for each event. The events are intimate–it isn’t a festival. Attendees will have a one-on-one opportunity to talk to these brewers about their offerings and about themselves.
The event is also Indiana’s premier venue for trading rare and hard-to-find beers from all over the state and the nation. Plan your trades in advance on the Indiana On Tap Beer Trading Forum or meet new people to at the event for trades. While bottle trading can be planned and discussed at the event, the actual trades cannot take place inside of the event itself but must take place in the parking lot. Attendees who facilitate trades will be allowed to re-enter the venue throughout the event.
The first Tasting Society event will be held on Friday, May 15th and will feature Indiana breweries Scarlet Lane Brewing Co. of McCordsville and Noble Order Brewing Co. of Richmond (who will also be bringing some special mead along with wine from their partner, J&J Winery). Indianapolis-based guest homebrewers Jon and Pete from Centerpoint Brewing will also be on hand to share and discuss some of their unique brews.
The featured artist will be local RAW artist Andrea Dudgeon. You can learn more about Andrea and her unique work here: http://www.rawartists.org/andreadudgeon. A special live music act will also be performing and local food trucks will be available at the event for food purchases.
Tickets to this first event will cost only $10 per person. Upon entry, each attendee will receive 12 tickets, each good for a 3oz. tasting pour from any of our vendors. Or, four tickets will get you a 12oz pour. Additional tickets will be on sale for just $1/ticket.
Attendees will be required to drink responsibly and plan their transportation to and from the event.
Entry is limited to the first 200 people who buy a ticket on the Eventbrite page.

Located in Richmond, Indiana, Noble Order Brewing is a family–close knit and ever expanding. They’re full of life and the good things in it that’s truly infectious. Five minutes into a conversation with anyone from their brewery and you will find yourself a believer in what real beer can and should be. Formerly known as Big Dawg Brewhaus, Noble Order changed their name and their branding and partnered with World Class Beer in late 2014 to extend the reach of their beer to several parts of the state. In addition to their flagship beer offerings, they also produce world-class mead and are partnered with JJ Winery–making them a triple-threat craft destination unlike any other in the state.
J&J Winery is located at the crossroads of American on Old National Road between Richmond and Centerville, Indiana. Simply put, the winery grounds are an aesthetic hidden gem. Plan your trip to enjoy their sprawling, picturesque setting and have your palate quenched with their award-winning wines and authentic, Italian wood-fired pizzas and paninis.
