The Lafayette Brewing newsletter tells us "This month will feature both a unique seasonal and a new package here at LBC. First up, we'll be releasing both our Star City Lager and our Eighty-Five American Ale in new, 22 oz. bombers. Look for the Star City to be available the first week of the month with the 85 to follow by mid-month. We've also got a batch of our Alpha Acid Test control beer, Alpha 60, in the tanks and ready to be dry hopped with 20+ hop varieties for the tasting on November 20. The Alpha 60 is loosely based on an American IPA and will be released on the 20th, as well. A limited number of tickets are still available for the Alpha Acid Test for only $20. No tickets will be available the day of the tasting."

Here's an article from the Indianapolis Star – Nov 26, 1996. It goes on to say "Close your eyes, and picture a typical beer drinker. Chances are, you've conjured an image of a fat, hairy guy sipping from a can on the sofa. Now meet Julie Grelle, president of Circle V Brewing Co., Indianapolis. She's female, fit and educated, and wants you to change the way you think about beer. "There's a lot more to beer than just Coors and Budweiser," she said. To help convey that message, Indiana's eclectic local brewers are organizing a trade association, led by Circle V's Grelle and Bloomington Brewing Co. chief executive Jeff Mease. The envision a guild modeled after the Indiana Wine Concil, which gets 5 cents of every gallon of wine sold in the state to promote wines and tourism . . ."

You may have heard the sensationalist headlines recently that "beer is more dangerous than heroin". It's a neo-prohibitionist study out of England. Here's the takedown. It's based on a poll, not evidence.
