Indiana Beer love

I have not seen it on draft yet, but I got a 4-pack of Drain the Swamp last week. I don't remember the exact price because I got some other things at the same time, but it did not strike me as particularly expensive. A buck per ounce definitely seems steep for it.

 

Wait, what? Pils and lagers are the next NEIPA?

Mind blown.

 

That's just straight highway robbery. At BH it is 7 for a snifter and at a small bar in Plymouth (20ish miles south of BH) you can get a pint for 6 bucks.

It is 20 for a 4 pack everywhere I've seen it.

 

When I had it at Tomlinson Tap a few weeks ago, it was $6 for a 13oz snifter. It's gone now, but they do have Joe England on now, also BH NEIPA.

 

So who's buying beer on Sunday just because you now can? <hand raised>

 

That Joe England is like a week old. Delicious. I think it's better than DTW too. That's the same price as BH pub

 

Anybody going to the Evil Czech, Stalins Darkside release? Thinking about checking it out and then going by Barehands after on Saturday.

 

Editorial comment: I am aware that this release coincides with Stalin's day of death, and that the beer is a RIS, and that WWII was a long time ago and people tend to not recall history very well, but one would think they could come up with a better name. After all, we never see any German beers named after ******, although ******'s Gose Step would be clever.
Just an observation.

 

Thanks for mentioning Tomlinson Tap had Joe England this week. Had a pour this afternoon, really solid.

 

I get where you are coming from, Stalin was not a virtuous person. But at the same time, Russian perhaps played the largest role in defeating Germany. He was on the side of the allies, though perhaps only because Germany’s violation of the Nonaggression Pact with Poland. ... ****** was an evil human being.

I will now stop talking history and drink beer.

 

While Russia was on the Allied side, and Germany having an Eastern front and trying to slog through a Russian winter was instrumental in their defeat, Stalin was responsible for millions of deaths of his own people. More than ****** was responsible for. Stalin is equally evil.

I suppose that's why it's Evil Czech and not just Czech brewery. I hope the beer release goes well, and Chubz77 enjoys that and Bare Hands. Looks like they have a red raspberry milkshake IPA on tap.

 

Ok I’ve been to evil Czech b4, and never cared for them, but I always like to give places more than 2 or 3 chances......once again the evil Czech has disappointed me for the last time

 

Headed to barehands.....hoping for the best

 

Bare Hands makes some good stuff. So, I'd imagine you'll have a good time.

 

Go back today. Triple can release. One of which is from their Single Hop series. This release is Idaho 7. The previous 3 (Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic) were all incredible beers.

Then they're releasing a classic Heffe and a raspberry milkshake (2nd run on this recipe)

I'll be there

Same exact sentiments here. To sound like a hipster douche, I liked their old stuff better. When they opened up their first spot in Culver (like 35 miles south of where they are now) They were doing much smaller batches and everything was much fresher and just better. Bunch of great lagers, actually.

 

Double post, but, here is the Firestone Walker Brewing Indiana release schedule:

Launch Events:
March 5th: The Pint Room in Carmel, 5pm
March 6th: Twenty Tap in Indianapolis, 5pm
March 7th: Fiddler’s Hearth in South Bend, 5pm
March 7th: The Brass Rail in Ft. Wayne, 5pm
March 8th: The Franklin House in Valparaiso, 5pm CST
March 8th: DOC’S BBQ in Dyer, 5pm CST

I'll be at that Fiddler's Hearth one if anyone else from the area is around. They've said they'll have Union Jack, Nitro Merlin, Walker Lager and others on tap.

 

I might be at the Pint Room tonight for that. I hope packaged beer gets out this week. Can’t wait for Pivo Pils.

 

Anyone take advantage of Sunday sales yesterday? Personally, I went to the Koehlschip and picked up some Central State collab cans.

As a side note, Koehlschip had an Idaho 7 hopped beer from Elm Street which was pretty good. I suspect we will see a lot of beers with this hop in the future.

 

I did. Big Red was doing 25% off Indiana made items. Stocked up on mead. The wife and I love New Day Meads. Particularly Breakfast Magpie.

 

From my understanding that deal is available every Sunday until 3/25.
