    Different distributor up there in the land of the Irish. Forgive me, I expect central Indiana tappings to begin after the 1st.

    It's not Cavalier up there? I assumed it was....I know they cover the NE region of the state (goshen/elkhart/ft. wayne)....didn't realize it was a different distributor for SB.

    It's still Cavalier up here. Typically, everything goes through Indy first, then comes up here. This is one of the first times I can remember it being the reverse.

    To get back on topic, announced total 100 breweries will be there. 69 Indiana based, 31 from other states.

    Really? Then who carries Lagunitas? Some breweries have different distributors there than they do in Indy.

    On Lagunitas' website it says Indiana Beverage covers northwest and Five Star covers northeast, so it's one of those two. But quite a bit comes from Cavalier. Holly is the rep up here.

    I stopped by Bare Hands yesterday, they are taking a massive list of beers. It should be announced very soon.

    I think Bare Hands brought at least 10 beers last year. I know Burn'em is bringing at least 20, if not more.
    Brewers stepping up their game. If you can't find anything you like at this fest, then you don't like beer.

    Seeing some tweets from the Founders folks alluding to a "special tapping" announced via twitter during the Fest. Bet I know what that could be. Too bad I can't be there for it. :slight_frown:

    The best beer of the day for me was Bare Hands Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout. Wow what a beer!
