Indiana Beer News – April 8

Update to yesterday’s statehouse update. The Senate committee voted to raise the carding limit from “appear older than 40” to 50.

Jason gives a rundown of the good beers available at Indiana baseball stadiums.

Logo-BrewBracket There are still openings for judges at the Brew Bracket on Sun, Apr 17th. 12:30-5pm. Sweet 16 for Indiana IPAs. $35. Helps Boys and Girls Clubs of Indianapolis.

The event runs like a Sweet 16 tournament featuring Indiana craft beer, where you, the beer enthusiast, gets to vote for your favorite IPA through head to head tasting of 16 Indiana breweries. The majority vote of 400 people will advance a winner through the bracket and eventually identify the People’s Choice Champion of the event.

By blindly tasting beers from 16 of Indiana’s finest breweries you can learn more about the IPA style and find your personal  favorite without any brand or label influence.

Inaugural tasting event, featuring IPA, is on Sunday, April 17th, from 1-5PM (doors open at 12:30) at the Indiana State Fairgrounds (Pioneer Our Land Pavilion). Only 400 tickets will be sold ($35) through www.brewbracket.com, available now ($5 DD tickets also available).


Lots of supply but even more demand. DFH stopped shipping to WI, IN, TN, RI. Great Divide has pulled out of MI, RI, CT, KY, NM, AK, DC. Avery has left CT, RI, and San Francisco. Oskar Blues, and Left Hand are shrinking their distribution channels. Now Rogue is pulling out of Yemen according to a tongue in cheek press release.

Meantime Scotch Ale (10%) is in the country in 750ml bottles.

Iron City’s new owners plan to revive Olde Frothingslosh.

Here’s a headline that is bound to be de-bunked. Alcohol causes 10% of cancer in men. Surprise. It’s from Brit “alcohol awareness charity” Drinkaware.

Now this headline flies in the face of conventional theory. Study: Beer beats water for hydration
