this weekend.
Top 11 Reasons for Attending “Beers Across the Wabash ”
11. Great beers from
10. Fantastic view from the pedestrian bridge
across the Wabash
9. The
possibility exists of a bald eagle sighting or two. Beer and bald eagles, not a bad Saturday in
my opinion
8. You
can someday tell your great-grandchildren that you were at the very 1st
Beers Across the Wabash
7. Because
the possibility of a 2nd annual Beers Across the Wabash may very
well depend on YOU!
6. Lots
of great establishments for delicious craft beer within walking distance after
the event.
5. You
can visit the newly expanded taproom @ People’s Brewing
4.
You’re within walking distance of enjoying a Drought Buster IPA or
Battleground IIPA @ Lafayette Brewing Co.
3. Make
it a weekend and enjoy the Uptown Jazz & Blues Fest downtown from 5pm to
midnight
2. You
have an open invitation to, when encountering yours truly, tell me to my face
how lousy of a blogger I am while I nod
and hang my head in shame
1. Did
I happen to mention all of the great breweries that will be in attendance?

I was sold at Reason #9 - see everyone there!
Just a heads up. Flat 12, Sunking, and People's will be taking over the taps at The Black Sparrow immediately following the festival. We did it with people's after TAPs this spring and it was a blast so with the addition of SK it will only be an even bigger party. For those that don't know Lafayette is my home town so we pulled some special stuff out of the cellar. Look forward to seeing everyone there!
Thanks Josh, apparently my list should have gone to twelve. Went down to the Sparrow for the tappings after the TAP event and thoroughly enjoyed it.
