IndyStar to join Conner Prairie for unique History on Tap craft beer experience
Today, more than 200 craft breweries operate in the state, which experienced a near quadrupling in its craft brewer ranks since 2011.
And while Broad Ripple Brewpub in Indianapolis is the state's longest operating microbrewery, having opened in 1990, Indiana's commercial brewing history dates back to 1819, when, according to the Indiana Historical Society, German settlers in New Harmony began selling their surplus beer in the town on the banks of the Wabash River.
Now, regardless of whether we've just schooled you on Hoosier craft beer history, or if you can write a dissertation on the differences between Zombie Dust and Zombie Ice, IndyStar is proud to announce our partnership with an annual event that's sure to enlighten and entertain Central Indiana craft beer lovers.
Conner Prairie's' popular History on Tap craft beer event returns in 2025 from 6-10 p.m. June 6. Attendees will sample the creations of more than 20 Indiana craft brewers while strolling the Fishers living history museum's grounds and taking in music, food, activities and historical reenactments centered on Indiana's long and lively brewing history.
General admission tickets for the 12th annual History on Tap event run $75 for non-members and $65 for Conner Prairie members at connerprairie.org, with $20 admission for designated drivers. All participants must be age 21 or older.
As a Growler Partner in this year's event, IndyStar will be on hand to enhance the fun. Attendees are encouraged to stop by our booth to meet our news and marketing staff, participate fun activities, and snap selfies at our interactive photo stations at the event.
IndyStar readers can also look forward to some additional local brewery information from dining and drinks reporter Bradley Hohulin, your friend inside Central Indiana's culinary scene.
Part of reporting on a community is being part of that community, and like last summer when IndyStar launched a reader advisory panel and held in-person events at Indiana Fever games and the Indiana State Fair, we're planning some fun community events as the weather heats up.
This year, IndyStar readers can plan on hearing about another IndyStar night with the Fever, in-person events on our free ticket day at the fair, and a few other offerings that we'll announce later. Our dedicated news staff, both those new to the area and those who have called Indianapolis home for decades, are looking forward to meeting you out on the town.
Thank you for reading IndyStar.

Christina Haack & Tarek El Moussa Are Embracing the ‘Chaos' of Son Brayden's New Milestone in Sweet, Blended Family Photo
Parents coming together to support their kids is the most wholesome content on the internet. We will always love a happy, blended family! Christina Haack's latest post shows how it's done. She revealed she's embracing the 'chaos' of her son Brayden's new milestone alongside her ex Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa — and their sweet photo couldn't be cuter! 'First day of 4th grade for Bray 🩵,' Haack wrote on Instagram today. 'New school Fresh start New adventures Let the chaos begin!!! 🤪' More from SheKnows Chris Pratt's Rare New Photos of Son Jack Reveal the Unique Hobby the Teen Picked Up What an exciting milestone! And Brayden is entering fourth grade with the biggest support system. He smiles in the photo with his arm around his mom, as Tarek and Heather Rae smile right next to him and hold their son Tristan, 2. Tarek and Haack's daughter Taylor, 14, and Haack's son Hudson, 5, who she shares with ex Ant Anstead, were not pictured. In the comments, Heather Rae wrote, '👏👏👏 Here we go!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🫣🤪' People were loving the family's support of each other (and their kids). 'You guys set a high standard for divorced families!' one person wrote. 'What an amazing example. 🙏🏻 After being remarried for 11 years, my husband's ex-wife is still bitter and unforgiving & the children suffer!' 'A unified family, this is sweet and he is so loved ❤️' another person commented. Someone else said, 'Your family must certainly inspire other families to parent positively even in the face of divorce. It takes a united village to raise happy and confident children❤️' Haack and Tarek aren't just exes and co-parents. They're also TV co-stars! The duo (and Heather Rae) star in HGTV's The Flip Off, where they compete to see who can buy, renovate, and flip a house for the biggest profit. In an interview on the Trading Secrets podcast in April 2025, Tarek shared how he doesn't let his 'adult feelings, emotions, insecurities, and egos' get in the way of doing what's best for the kids. 'No matter what, I will always do whatever it takes to protect my babies,' he said. 'Time has helped a lot. … But even if we hated each other, I would still do it for my babies.' Another way these parents show up for their kids? By showing up for themselves. Previously, Heather Rae told SheKnows how she makes time for self-care to be a better mom and stepmom. 'I will say I struggled with [prioritizing myself], especially after having Tristan,' the Selling Sunset star said. 'What I started to tell myself is that I can't be the best mom I can be without prioritizing my wellness. Even if it's small, taking some time for yourself each day is so important.' Look, parenting isn't easy for anybody, but putting the work in, making your kids the priority, and scheduling downtime for yourself are some of the ways that these HGTV stars are making co-parenting work for them. They are totally crushing it!Best of SheKnows Birthday Freebies for Kids: 25+ Places That'll Make Their Big Day Extra Sweet These Raw & Beautiful Breastfeeding Photos Show There's No 'Right' Way to Nurse 'But I Hate School': What To Do When Your Teen Dreads Going Back Solve the daily Crossword

Hollie Strano, former WKYC TV meteorologist, gets new gig in Stark County
Hollie Strano, the former WKYC Channel 3 TV meteorologist, has landed a new gig in Stark County. Strano, who was fired last year after 22 years with the station, will now bring Mix 94.1 radio listeners the weather each morning. "Hollie Strano is an Emmy-winning mental health advocate, seasoned television professional, and nationally recognized public figure with over two decades of on-air experience," according to a post on the Canton station's website. "A trusted meteorologist and the creator of Abruptly Authentic — streaming on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts — she blends science, storytelling, and soul to deliver impactful forecasts and fearless conversations across the country." Related reporting: 'I love me, finally': Hollie Strano shares her recovery story, offers hope to others "Let's do this Stark County!" Strano said on Facebook. "So much love for you, Canton! Thank you for having me!" Strano will forecast Monday-Sunday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. A message was left Aug. 18 with Mix 94.1 requesting comment on Strano's hiring. Why did Hollie Strano lose her position at WKYC? The station announced Strano's firing in September 2024, around nine months after she was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence in November 2023. She later pleaded guilty to the charge. "I am sad to share that after 22 plus years of dedicated work, WKYC and Tegna decided to terminate my employment after I shared my recovery journey publicly," she posted following her termination. "I believe the actions of WKYC and Tegna demonstrate the stigma surrounding addiction that so many in our community experience every day." Related reporting: WKYC denies allegations made by former meteorologist Hollie Strano in civil case Shortly after she was fired, Strano filed a lawsuit against her former company, claiming she was terminated for sharing her alcoholism recovery journey on social media as well as promoting a product. Strano also forecasts for southern radio stations Last month, Strano also announced that she is doing forecast work for radio stations in the Georgia and Alabama areas. "What an honor it is to be bringing you the forecast each day, from my hometown in Cleveland to your radios down South!" she said in a Facebook post. "Grateful for the opportunity, and excited for what's ahead." She also hosts the "Abruptly Authentic with Hollie Strano" podcast on Youtube. The Akron Beacon Journal contributed to this report.
