Beer Day in B'Town, May 15

Lot's of beer events in Bloomington today! American Homebrewers Association Rally comes on the heals of the Upland Brewery Upcup homebrew competition. Homebrewers are encouraged to join AHA or show their AHA card for festivities starting at 4:00 today at Upland Brewery on W 11th in Bloomington. Judging for the Upcup competition will have ended by 5 when winners will be announced. AHA has prizes and information for homebrewers

Nearby the Venue Gallery, 114 S Grant St. Bloomington has homebrewers on hand to share beer knowledge and art starting at 5:00!

If you still have not had enough beer satiation stop at Crazy Horse on Kirkwood (one block from Bloomington's square) for a Gaffel Kolsch from the keg -- a rare find! You can stop at the Alley Bar on the same block for a Hoegaarden (Belgian wit) on tap or refreshing Boulevard Lager from Breckenridge (nice gentle hop bitternes) or at Irish Lion between these two for fresh Guinness, or a Bitburger, Leffe or other great beers on tap!

Both Upland and Lennies local brew pubs will have their versions of IPAs with Lennies doing a Silk IPA - a gentle pale with a bit more hop characteristic
