Watch baseball, drink craft beer, support Indy charities

There's the popular Monday Dollar Nights, Friday Fireworks and Kids Eat Free Sundays. Now, the Indianapolis Indians hope to create a new favorite — Thursday Craft Beer Nights.

"We have wanted to tap into the craft beer craze for a few years now," said Jon Glesing, Indians senior marketing and communications manager. The minor league ball park is, pun intended, tapping into the interests of millennials and young professionals, Glesing said. After seeking the right partner and right time, it is finally coming together this season. The first Craft Beer Night is Thursday (I'll be there!).

A ticket to the game also gives 21-and-older fans access to Sun King's mobile tap room in the PNC Plaza at Victory Field. Each night will feature a different seasonal beer and $1 of every pint sold benefits a selected charity. Sun King has been the official craft beer of the Indians since 2012. The brewery's core lineup of beers, plus its Indians Lager, is available. Tickets range from $10 to $16. Sun King pints and cans cost $8.25 (It's for the kids!).
