Docs on Draft

Docs on Draft is a bi-monthly speaker series presented by the Department of Medicine in collaboration with Vice Chairs of Strategic Engagement across IU School of Medicine, and hosted by Guggman Haus Brewing Co. in Indianapolis.

Designed to engage community members in meaningful conversations about important health topics, Docs on Draft brings physicians and scientists into a relaxed, welcoming environment. Hosted in a locally owned brewery, the series offers experts the opportunity to share their knowledge with neighbors in a setting that encourages connection and curiosity.

More than a traditional lecture, Docs on Draft creates space for dialogue, storytelling and shared understanding — moving beyond facts and evidence to foster genuine engagement.

Through proximity, authentic connection and conversations free of judgment, we aim to build trust.
