Misc News – July 20

Things we heard at the Festival:

We're told a new brewery is in the planning stages for the Fountain Square area of Indianapolis. Brownfield Brewing Co. has a website and a logo that says "local, sustainable, organic. 500-mile distribution, green, all-natural, LEED certified, employee owned" but not much else is known yet.

Jason Male has joined New Boswell. His title is Brewing Consultant. Picture in the Microbrewers Festival post.

Back Road's Fall Festival is scheduled for September 18th this year. The Ein Prosit band and the Alpenhorngruppe will be back again. Nothing better than 7 alpenhorns playing Amazing Grace while sipping a Crown Octoberfest bier. pictures from last year

Three Floyds has a 3 minute video up of the Dark Lord tapping at the Festival. I count 6 intelligible words.

John Mills took his Indiana State Fair Brewers Cup Best of Show cup on vacation with him and has a picture with Gambrinus at the City Brewery in LaCrosse, WI. He'll be brewing his How Now Brown Cow with Kevin Matalucci at Broad Ripple Brewpub later this year.

Do not do this: "Indiana State Excise Police allege the Stewarts in March charged a $5 entry fee to enter and consume beer from a self-service keg" in Union City, IN, north of Richmond. They are facing both misdemeanor (no permit) and felony (maintaining a common nuisance) charges. article
