Philanthropic and Community Partnership Requests

Black Acre Brewing Company’s main location suffered a fire in late 2019.  While we are closed and in the process of rebuilding we are ceasing all donations and focusing on getting back on our feet financially.  We appreciate your understanding and look forward to getting back to supporting our community once we re-open.

Black Acre Brewing Company has a strong commitment to supporting our local community.  We try very hard to be involved in as many events and philanthropic opportunities as we are able.  If you are interested in requesting something for your event, here are our criteria:

Things we do.  

• • We consider donation requests for gift cards and merchandise as well as select tasting events and taproom pint nights for 501(c)3 organizations.

• • All requests will be evaluated bimonthly.

• • We need to deal directly with someone from the organization who provides us with all the pertinent information (detailed below).

• Donations must be picked up from our taproom at 5632 E Washington St. Indianapolis, IN 46219

Things we don’t do.

• • Cash donations.  We pick only one non-profit partner every year to partner with for cash donations.  

• • We do not generally partner with organizations with religious or political purposes.  Exceptions are made for hyper-local organization or causes we feel strongly about.
