Blind Pig Confessions's Podcast

Tax Day can be one of the most dreadful days of the year. . . unless you're lucky enough to be at Taxman Brewery's annual Death & Taxes Day Craft Beer Festival. We were lucky enough to cover this years event and it was a drunken delight. As old and new fans swarmed our tent to get on air, one new fan(Jackie) decided to become our producer for the day and had and endless stream of cheerful, buzzed festival goers sitting down for an interview. An excited Carter Marshall from WZPL stopped by for a beer and tell us some of his horror stories of working with Nikki Reed(kidding...we love you, Nikki), Dan Gohr of Redemption Alewerks sits in to cohost and deliver a few of his always witty one liners, and we learn Cowboy's boat beers are a lazy 8% ABV. Tune into Part One at Taxman Brewery and be on the lookout for Part two coming soon. Cheers! http://www.taxmanbrewing.com/

Our favorite Dead Squirrels, Jim and Donny, stop by Alley's Alehouse to tell the boys about their upcoming, fifth album, SQ1RL5. Squirrel fans will not be disappointed and will quickly notice the deeper riffs, (with the help new drummer, Rocky Rodriquez) and some of the best song writing to date. We got sneak peaks of a few tracks from the new album: We start the show with a snippet of U Gotta Lotta Nerve and they take us out at the end with Calabash Joe. Not only do these fine gents like to jam, but they also won us over for their love of beer. They are sponsored by one of the only big boys which works with and not against the craft brew scene, the one and only Pabst Blue Ribbon. And when they join the boys at the round table, they have no problem digging into some craft beers. Always a pleasure, Jim and Donny once again helped to provide a night of great conversation, laughter, and a lot of beer drinking. So tune into hear more about the work that went into SQ1RL5 and be sure to join us at Alley's Alehouse on June 30th for The Dead Squirrels 5th Album Release Party.

Dougy Fresh & Pauly G get beer schooled at Round Town Brewery by their quiet man, Eric Fear, and owners Jerry Sutherlin and Mackenzie Schenk. Local comedian, Mr. Jeremy Brown, joins the Pigs to help derail the conversation. Although Round Town has only been open for a little over six months, there is a wealth of beer knowledge and craft beer brewing skills to help lift the already thriving and healthy craft beer scene in the city even more. With a great downtown location, you're within walking distance to grab a craft beer before and/or after all the city's sporting events. Tune into this week's episode to hear Jerry's extensive craft beer brewing history and how Jerry and Mack went from some half-serious nudges about going into business to opening the next great, craft brew, must visit location of Indy . . . along with Pauly G's nostalgic trip back to his raving days. Check out the episode and then drop by Round Town for some of their weekly specials such as their Sunday Trivia, Monday $6 Growlers, and Tuesday's Free Pinball and Vinyl Night.

Jack gives us the goods on what's going on this summer at Pinheads Entertainment Center and Alley's Alehouse which includes the upcoming wine dinner with delights from Oliver Winery and the new live, original music series, hosted by Nick Wengler and Studio Live Indy.

Pat takes a break from dining on Chef Rod's Chubs to partake of a fresh and stunning new item only found on the "Secret Menu" (details on how to get heard in this week's episode). Bowling, volleyball, arcade, live music, craft beer, fantastic food, and a friendly staff are just a few of the many things you'll encounter while visiting this one stop shop for all your entertainment needs. Tune into this week's episode to find out why the Pigs call Alley's home, then come on down and join us for a few cold, craft brews.

Always the gentleman, Mr. Brian Graham invited the Pigs back to his Four Day Ray Brewing home for an interesting evening of old school, blind beer tasting. Joining in on the lively evening is local comedian, Jeremy Brown. The gang goes back to early pre-craft drinking roots for some blind taste testing of seven commercial beers from pale ales to heavy malts. Tune in to see which seven beers were put to the Pig test and which one surprised everyone by topping the charts. New friends of the show drop by and join in as well as they also celebrate Pig Pen member, Riley M. Wunnenberg's, birthday on this jubilant evening at FDR. The conversation goes in many directions between beers as they discuss bas/offensive possible new beer names, Smokey and the Bandit, and Jordan's love for FDR's new Yoga Pants night. The show rounds out with updates from Jeremy Brown and where he can be found, and what is fresh on Four Day Ray's taps and upcoming summer fun. (And remember the FDR Beer Garden is now open!) Will be able to catch FDR along with the Pigs at Indy In-Tune's Spring Radiothon going down all day next Saturday (June 3rd) at our home, Alley's Alehouse in Fishers, Indiana. Come on out for a day of brews and live grooves for a great local charity. https://www.facebook.com/events/224979387969807/ Cheers! http://www.fourdayray.com/
