DigIn was pretty cool. I found it odd that the local chefs were all specifically asked to use local Indiana ingredients, and to not use any outside ingredients.
Do you find it odd that local beer isn't local? Where the hell are you getting pumpkin this time of year? Certainly not from fresh Indiana pumpkin. There is nothing local about "local" beer except for the water.
Even the wineries are using grapes from Indiana fields. I don't understand it.
Can't we just drink the beer because it is delicious?
Locally-sourced malt and hops are just not feasible in the midwest. Barley has to be malted and the expense of ovens, etc aren't found very often where there isn't much barley grown. Hops also need a lot of processing also. So except for small batches from local gardens we're not really able to keep our beer more local than the Dakotas and Oregon.
Oh to be in Kent or Bavaria where the best of both are easily available.
