Indiana Beer News – Jan 22

Upland’s UpCup homebrew competition will culminate in a May 21st AHA rally this year.

Great Crescent Brewing hopes to be canning beer by March.

Three Floyds annual Behemoth Barleywine will be out in bottles next month. It’s on tap at the brewpub now.

1008-IN-MillsJohn Mills of Evansville passes this along about his How Now Brown Cow, a Northern English Brown:

“The 2010 Brewers Cup Best of Show winning beer is scheduled to be brewed Feb 1, 2011. (at Broad Ripple Brewpub).

“Subsequent tapping party is Saturday, March 12.  OVHA has chartered a bus, and will be joined by Dubois County SUDS club members.  I have extended an invitation to join in on the tapping party to Bloomington's Hop Jockey's, and New Albany's FOSSIL's without reply yet.  I'll be at BIG Winterfest to extend invitations to other Homebrew clubs. Of course I'd like to see this as a big homebrewers celebration.  Not just the south will rise in Indy.”

Rock Bottom, 86th St, Indy’s Bourbon Wood Aged Stout went on line yesterday. Served in a snifter. Black with a pretty darn dark brown 1/2” long-lasting head. Bourbon starts in the nose and continues through the early tongue giving way to a light roast and a quite bitter long finish.

Laws:

Prig Matthew Tully confuses beer and wine with booze in his anti-State Fair editorial in the Star. article “Is the chance that one person will lose his beer and elephant ear lunch on the midway, or a jerk will lose control as he walks through the crowded grounds, worth a little more money?” Plus bonus comments like “I think I'll pass on sharing a spinning ride with the guy who's just downed six Buds.”

And he gets replies like “I can't imagine that seeing someone eating deep fried butter patties is any better for our children than seeing adults enjoying a beer responsibly.” article

Liquor store owners support law requiring all to be carded. article

Another battleground for the Beverage Retailers and the Indiana Retail Council has been found: how many beer permits the ATC grants. article


You can get Rob Caputo’s artwork in the bottle at Flat 12 Bierwerks or see it hanging on the wall at Great Fermentations.
