Blind Pig Confessions's Podcast

Tipsy at Tippy's

Pauly G. and Dougy Fresh get nutty (it will make sense when you listen) at the newly located Tippy's in Winamac, IN. Still serving their great, well known, pizza and wings, Tippy's now has a full bar with a variety of domestic and craft brews on tap. Co-hosting for the evening, and taking great photos as always, is Dougy's crush, the beautiful Michelle Dickey.

Arriving first on the scene to scope the place out, Pauly was bit nervous when he wandered into a restaurant packed with tiny unicorns. But all was soon well as the unicorns left to graze and a thirsty hoard of pizza and beer lovers soon packed the house.

Joining us for the evening was the fine folks of 10-56 Brewing of Knox, IN, Mike and Erica. A couple new to the brewery scene and already making a noise in the craft beer society. We've been hearing about their brews for some time now, so we were thrilled to have them join us and finally dig into a sampling of what they have to offer.. and we were glad we did. Starting with a little monkey nut, which had us all wanting more, they pulled out the big guns as we were some of the lucky first to try their pizza beer creation. That's right . . . pizza beer . . . perfect for the occasion and we were floored at how well this worked.

A very busy and proud owner, Sheila, who wasn't expecting quite the full house she had this evening, did find a little time to take a break and tell us a little about her friendly neighborhood bar and restaurant.

Also joining in the fun, the good friend of 10-56, and now friend of ours, Aaron of Copperhop, grabbed a mic to introduce us to his very cool craft beer trail business you will want to know more about, as well as a little of his background and love of craft beers.

Grab a brew, tune in, and then head on down to Tippy's to see just what the fuss is all about.

Matt Monta is allowing us the opportunity to help him release his new single " I won't be Scared". We tease you at the start of the show and if you stay tuned immediately following the show you will get to hear his new single in its entirety. Here is what Matt himself had to say about this song: "As we're faced with mounting uncertainty, both individually and collectively, it's important for us not to escape or tune out, but to move ahead with dignity and poise and without fear. That's what this song is about. The track was performed by Matt Monta & the Haymakers with Savannah and Ron Freeman contributing backing vocals. Music and more can be found at www.mattmonta.com" Huge shout out to Matt Monta, Nick Wengler, Fat Heads, and Alleys Alehouse for allowing us this amazing opportunity. Cheers!!!

The Pigs share an elegant evening of brews and humorous conversation with Owner, Sean Meehan, and Executive Chef Alain Michel, of the Crooked Ewe Brewery and Ale House. Resting on the shores of the St. Joe River in South Bend, Indiana is one of the utmost sought after places to enjoy a relaxing craft beer, fine, yet casual dining, while taking in the spectacular view of the waterfront. Young, but already winning awards for their beer, the Ewe is a must for the locals as well as the city's many visitors. Joining the Pigs, Dougy Fresh, Pauly G., and Warren P. Floyd, are friends, Ryan Douglas, Kendall Smith, Jerry Huener, and Wesley August to round out the table of hooligans. Tune in to tonight's episode to find out where the Ewe got its name, Jerry's confusion of the Ewe's vegan "segregation", where Alain gets his inspiration, and the many things coming around the bend in the Ewe's future.

Thanks to 800lb Gorilla for use of their groovy tune, Radboy, to round out tonight's show.

The boys travel to So-Bro to a great little Nano-Brewery called Black Circle. Papa Smurf and Jordan run the show with Griswold and Owner Jesse Rice. This is a fantastic place if you are into 80's & 90's Nostalgia, or are a Vinyl, Rock, Hair Band Heavy Metal Fan. They have a great stage with local acts, an arcade with classic Video games, they play Vinyl, and do obscure Horror movie nights. This is a very unique and amazing venue. Their Beer is amazing, and they offer a variety from stout to gose. You can swing in and get some great Cuban food as well. Join us on this episode to learn more about this fantastic little brewery.

Papa Smurf, Tex Mex and Jordan travel to a land far away called Muncie where we find a hidden little gem known as New Corner Brewing. As we walk through the office and head to "what's behind the next door" it feels as though we are transported back in time to a true speakeasy. We sit down with the Owner Shawn Brady and his go to man Mark Watson. It is a fun, humorous, and informative roller coaster of an episode. We get to sample numerous amazing beers from these guys. We get to sample beer cheese from Tulip Tree Creamery and Beer Pickles. I think we touch on almost every topic. Do you know who made Heimdall's Sword in Thor? Do you know the secret to making pickles with beer? The answers to these and many more questions lie just ahead in this episode of Blind Pig Confessions.

A slightly hung-over group of Pigs (thanks to Eddy's Sports Pub, Kevin Fertig, and carbombs) settled in for a glorious day of craft beer, wine, and live music from Rock Island and Duke Tumatoe at the 3rd Annual Whitestown Brew Fest, hosted by Indiana On Tap. We can't thank Sarah Burns enough for the invite to cover this fantastic summer event. We kick off the day with our great friends from the Moontown Brewing Company who helped us to kick the dust off from the previous night and get revved up for the day. We had the pleasure to drink and talk to some of the area's up and coming home brewers throughout the day and ended this segment with Tow Yard. Such a fun event. We loved meeting the home brewers and getting their perspective on the scene and see the new things they had brewing. Can't wait till Whitestown Brew Fest 2018! We hope to see you all there! Special thanks to those hard-working Dead Squirrels for the use of their tune Calabash Joe to take us out on this one. Be sure to go see them live at a pub near you!

BPC – Episode 130 – If at First You Don't Succeed Try, Try a Gin…or Vodka

So the boys journey over to Whitestown to hit Moontown Brewing company. Jordan , Papa Smurf, and Tex Mex are onsite with special guest Dr. John. The Mattingly family welcomes us with open arms and plenty of beer. We FINALLY get to see and learn about this family brewing trio, and their vision for their very impressive Brew House. We talk all about what they have going on and the timeline of their construction of the new Brewhouse. Jordan had the pleasure of stopping in there just a couple days ago and they are ahead of their own predicted schedule. This is a very exciting thing for the Mattingly's, Moon Town, and hell, the Blind Pigs too.

We sat down and talked about some of their beers including: Dortmunder, Summer Sunshine, and the William. We reminisce on Jockey Box Hero, Cowboys famous striptease, and William Hung. When is Moontown set to open? Which Pig is one of the Mattingly's particular fond of?

Tune into this episode and get the answers to these questions and to learn about one of the biggest up and coming Brew Companies in our area.

This is a must listen episode right here. We apologize for this one going a little over our normal time, but we became enthralled with being introduced to a new line of adult beverages for us. MEAD! Jordan, Papa Smurf, Griswold and Tex-Mex join the Masterminds of New Day Craft, Tia and Brett at their taproom in Fountain Square. We learn all about mead, how it's made, what it is, and its history. We had the chance to sample several of their most popular meads including Shelby Blue Ribbon, Washington's folly, Lavender Lemonade, The Rethinker (Which is dry hopped with Cascade and Columbus hops), and then some of their Barrel aged line which included their Cult Favorite Imperial Breakfast Magpie (Aged in Angel's Envy Barrels for 14 months). We even tasted some ciders that were quite amazing as well. The Imperial Breakfast Magpie gets released next week on Black Friday at noon. Tune in now to here all about their amazing products, Slushies, how mead can save your genitals, and much more on this episode of Blind Pig Confessions.
