InfineteWisdomTripel “To celebrate the release of Upland's specialty Belgain-style ale, Infinite Wisdom Tripel, Upland and the Bluebird are bringing world renowned artist Norton Wisdom to Bloomington to perform with local favorites The Twin Cats and The Main Squeeze.

“Norton Wisdom is a good friend of the brewery, and his work is featured on the label of our Infinite Wisdom Tripel, as well as our Dantalion Dark Wild Ale and Double Dragonfly Imperial IPA.

“An art show featuring Wisdom's works will be held at the Root Cellar in Bloomington on the night of Friday April 22nd. Wisdom will be there to discuss his works, meet his fans, and sign prints and original works that will be available for purchase.

“The excitement of Wisdom's work is not only in the final product, but in the process, which you'll be able to see first-hand the following night, Saturday, April 23rd at the Infinite Wisdom Tripel Release Concert. Wisdom will be painting original art to the sounds of The Twin Cats and The Main Squeeze at the Bluebird. Doors open at 9pm, and music starts at 10:30.”

Proofreader wanted. The Indiana Beer Story (yes I’m writing a book) is ready for proofing and we’re looking for someone to mark up the MS of this 240-page history of Indiana breweries. Don’t need to deal with stuff like cross-referencing page numbers, just check that the text is grammatical and readable. Need it done in 2 weeks. Doesn’t pay anything but you’ll be the fourth person to read the book and you’ll get thanks in print. If you’re interested, call Bob Ostrander at 317-856-6092. Thanks.
