Indiana Beer News – April 1

Jordan of the Beer Sellar in Castleton tells us about their plans for the first week of May. “We are going to have upwards of 50 different Indiana beers from 12-15 different breweries. We will be putting 30 on our tap wall and then spreading the rest around the bar and outside. The breweries are going to bring jockey boxes and set up tables to talk about their beers. Starting Tuesday, May 3rd, will be the first small tapping party. Flat 12 will bring in beers and talk about their company that day. Wed, May 4th, will be Sun King. Thurs, May 5th, will be Upland. And Friday, May 6th, will be Three Floyds. Saturday the May 7th will be the big event with the rest of the beers. I will have a list of beers closer to the event after everyone starts delivering them here.

“New Albanian Brewing Company, a local microbrewery and pub that specializes in hoppy and heavy craft ales, will hold a beer tasting Friday evening at its main location just off Grant Line Road in New Albany. Some of the beers that will be on hand include Natural Light, Miller Lite, Bud Light, Bud Ice, Keystone Dry, Red Dog, Busch and Old Milwaukee. “We’ll also be tapping kegs of both traditional Coors ‘banquet’ beer and Coors Light,” said NABC owner Roger Baylor. “This is definitely an if-you-can’t-beat-’em-join-’em move. If people are truly stupid enough to enjoy this urine soda, we may as well see if we can as well. Also, we figure that if our palates can actually detect a difference in any of this offensive swill, it will only improve our senses.” Baylor also said there will be food pairings as well as guest speakers, including noted beer expert John Holl, who will lead a 45-minute roundtable discussion about pairing Natural Light with cat shit.” – Article in Leo via Potable Curmudgeon.
