BPC - Episode 117 - Jockey Box Hero Part Hung

We had the utmost pleasure covering Indiana On Tap's inaugural Jockey Box Hero at The Hatch in Broad Ripple a few weeks ago. It was the perfect day for craft beer and karaoke…behind a live band! A special occasion is certain way as our very own Cowboy got to perform against some talented Indy folk and the one and only William Hung. We enjoyed talks with old friends from The Moontown Brewing Company, Mackenzie from The Roundtown Brewery, Nikki Reed and Carter, and our new friends at 99.5 WZPL, Toni Dekeyser and Dave Smiley of the Smiley Morning Show we all know and love. The WZPL folks got very comfortable speaking their minds with the Pigs… and we enjoyed every minute of it. We get some dirty secrets about Nikki as well as some awful driving tips from Dave. And of course we had to have American Idol's, Mr. William Hung hang out (no pun intended) with the boys for a round as well as some jeering from Cowboy. Hung is Mr. Infotainment! You won't want to miss Part Hung of Jockey Box and we better see all of you there next summer! Cheers!!

A special thanks to the fantastic Cyrus Youngman of Cyrus Youngman and the Kingfishers for the opening and closing tunes for this episode. And stay tuned for an upcoming show with this rare Indy talent we can't wait to join us for a few brews and to talk about life and music.

Part two of our rockin' day at the annual, outdoor, live music and craft beer festival at the Grand Junction Brewing Co. beings with our good buddy Justin of Indiana On Tap, the sponsors of day's festivities. These guys know how to put on a grand scale show. We talk a little of what's going on with On Tap, including last Saturday's wildly fun, Jockey Box Hero, which featured one Mr. William Hung . . . and Cowboy. Big props given in this segment to the guys over at the Moontown Brewing Company who are working diligently in opening their brewery to the public. We get to spend some quality time with our boy, Shawn Kessel of Taxman Brewing Company who gives us the squeeze on sweat, blood, and beer. His wife also announced she is taking inquiries to sell a pretty amazing home brew system(Don't tell Shawn), after the Pigs brew with him first. Such a great event put on by the folks of Indiana On Tap and of course the place we always rave about, Grand Junction Brewing Co. We can't wait till next year to do it again. But don't wait till then to partake of some of the best brews in the state. Get your butts to Grand Junction today. Tell 'em the Pigs sent ya. Cheers!

Part two of the amazing live music and beer festival at the Grand Junction Brewing Co.

We recently announced the newest Pig, Warren Kluck, and although he's been on a few shows, tonight is our first Blind Pig South Bend edition with Dougy Fresh, Pauly G, Cowboy, and Mr. Warren Kluck. We were joined by good friends, the host for the evening, Ryan Douglas (Dougy's big bro), Jeremy Nicely, and Rick Greenless. This turned into a three hour debauchery, so we split it up into three segments for your listening pleasure. Part One starts out with some incredible beer, Taxman's Mexican Chocolate Cake a Belgian-style dubbel, aged in bourbon barrels with cocoa nibs, cinnamon sticks and Mexican peppers. It quickly warmed our hearts and got us chatting about Untappd and how cool, or incredibly dorky it is; home brewing; Uber nightmares; deuchey beer bottle collections (for anyone over the age of 21); how much is too much for a beer; the best live music joint around, Vegetable Buddies; and The Stingy Pours, the all-star rock band that never was. . . The debates get heated at times, but love is felt throughout. Ok, maybe it was all the high gravity beer, but we're sure you'll feel it too when you tune in. Lots of great brews were reviewed in Part One including: Perrin Brewery's Unfinished Business; 3 Floyd's Brewing Company's Gorch Fock; The Bier Brewery's Sanitarium; and a little hidden gem, Kasteel Barista Chocolate Quad Belgian Ale

Cheers!

Newest Pig joins the South Bend, Indiana addition of Blind Pig Confessions

The Pigs hit the airwaves to sponsor and cover a fantastic live music and craft beer festival at Fountain Square Brewery, the second of five Discovery Music events sponsored by Spark Joy Music and Musical Family Tree. Non stop, high energy talent hit the stages at noon and didn't stop till after midnight. We started off the day with a quick visit from Grover, followed by Aaron from Musical Family Tree. We were all a bit ashamed to not know more about this non-profit organization doing so much for the music scene in and around Indy. Aaron educates us on the Family Tree as well as a little about her own band and where they can be found. Fountain Square's, Luke Nelson joins the boys once again to tell us about the beer on hand at the event, as well as one made especially for Jackie Martinez, and what's brewing in the upcoming future. We end Part One with a very special visit from Mr. Jared Hiner, the man behind Kammy's Kause. We know all our fans in Indy know all about this incredible yearly event, but for those outside Indy not familiar yet, Jared goes into great detail about his organization, the upcoming event to benefit families dealing with 4p-, also known as Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome (WHS), an extremely rare chromosome disorder, and his beautiful daughter, Kammy, who is the inspiration for it all. The Pigs were invited to cover the 14th Annual Kammy's Kause, the two day music festival coming up on August 18th - 20th at the Fortville American Legion Park. This year's event includes: Kammy's Kidzone, Kammy's Ride, a petting zoo, pony rides, face painting, balloon artists, bounce houses, live art, food trucks, 27 midwest bands, silent auKtion, merchandise, great people, free camping (tents only) and parking. ALL funds raised are donated directly to the 4p- Support Group.
