Blind Pig Confessions's Podcast

Happy Holidays!

Awhile back we had the pleasure of covering an amazing Evil Czech beer and Arni's new menu food pairing. On this episode, part two of this segment, we were a number of brews in and having a blast while stuffing ourselves silly.

Tune in for more laughs and be sure to Meet Me at Arni's.

We can't get enough of these guys… or their delightful brews. We are joined once again this week at Alley's Alehouse by Holly Joy Cole of New Holland Brewery and Jeremy Nicely of Evil Czech Brewery and Public House. Returning this week to Co-host is the Grandfather of Indiana beer, Mr. Ron Smith, who gives some insight into Black Lagers, Hops, and Saisons vs. Farmhouse ales. When we start a show, typically everyone at the table is drinking a different beer until we get into the reviews for the evening. Oddly enough, tonight, we looked around and everyone at the table was sipping on a Taxman Bean Counter, which has quickly become a Pig favorite at Alley's. But as always, we got to dig into other craft beers as well. And tonight was a treat with two great breweries in the house. Jeremy brought us the Plato 14 Black Lager, and if we didn't already love him enough for introducing us to the Evil Bigsby, he took it up a notch and brought us some delightful and inspiring Barrel Aged Bigsby. Not to be outdone, Holly brought out the big guns with a little New Holland Dragon's Milk Vanilla Chia, some Cabin Fever Brown Ale for those chilly winter nights, and then took us over the edge with some wonderfully complex New Holland Beer Barrel Bourbon. Another splendid evening with good friends and great beer and whiskey. Cheers!

Shout outs tonight to: Taxman, Dan Gohr(again…) and Redemption Alewerks, Brewers of Indiana Guild, Tappers Arcade Bar, Twincade and thanks to Indien for the closing song on tonight's episode

Sean Patrick Webster brought this unique business plan to the table just a short time ago and has already made quite a splash in the alcohol industry and is supporting some of the biggest names in craft beer and spirits. Plus, he's a blast, so he fit right in with the Pigs and it didn't take too long before we derailed into shenanigans in this one. So much fun, we ended up running about an extra 20 minutes for your listening(and our drinking) pleasure. We reviewed some fine beverages tonight such as Arcadia Ales beautiful Barrel Aged Shipwreck Porter, O'Fallon's refreshing Wheach, some delicious rhubarb delight from Moonlight Meadery, and the gloriously smooth corn whiskey from The Indiana Whiskey Company. We talk about the Indiana Whiskey Whisker Competition, but sorry folks, the contest has ended... but Blind Pig, Dougy Fresh did take home a great gift package for being runner up. Congrats to our buddy down south, Mr. Joshua Lakins of the Twisted Crew Brewing Company for taking home the gold in that one and a life supply of whiskey. (We'll be back to visit soon!! Line em' up!) Sean tells us about some of his humble beginnings into the beer industry, such as the time he spent in the legendary Heorot Pub and Draught House in Muncie, IN. Pat gives us too much detail about a recent physical, and guest co-host, Chris Burch, explains his love for Christmas and all its miracles, and we get a review from Riley of the Pig Pen.

Lots of shout outs in in this episode including, but not limited to: Guardian Brewery, Taxman Brewery (congrats on soon to be new location), Books and Brews, Copper Still, Scarlet Lane Brewery, Heady Hollow Brewing Company, Bottoms Up(we need to talk), New Day Meadery, B Nektar, West Fork Whiskey Co., and The Dead Squirrels(who can be seen and heard live this Tuesday at our Christmas Charity Event at Alley's Alehouse)

Porters & Stouts 101 w/world certified, Master Beer Judge, Ron Smith World Class beer traveler, certified cicerone, Master BJCP Judge, and beer and brewing educator, Ron Smith joined the boys at the round table at Alley's Alehouse for tonight's episode of Blind Pig Confessions.

We may have told more humorous stories than talk strictly beer on this one, but Ron is full of great stories from his many beer infused travels and the numerous classes he instructs. Finding a love for all beer and diving into homebrewing back in the '87, Ron has won numerous awards on the state level as well as a Gold Medal in the AHA's National Homebrew Competition, the largest homebrewing competition in the world. Lots of great conversations and many brews slayed on this episode as we got into, not just those glorious dark brews, but butter beers, Budweiser's guerilla tactics, and why Quaff On's Common Necessity reminds Cowboy of Xmas. Tune in to learn more about Mr. Ron Smith and how you can attend classes and work toward getting your MBA(Master of Beer Appreciation). Many of Indy's great brewers will tell you they got their start learning all they could from Mr. Smith. Cheers!

In preparation for tonight's wintery, spicy, Snow Shed Release, the boys knock back some pints with owner, Brian Graham.

Joining the boys, and making his debut on Blind Pig Confessions, is the founder of Indiana On Tap, Justin Knepp. We had the thrill of covering the inaugural Indiana's Next Hop Model, hosted by Indiana On Tap and Nuvo ,earlier this year. So it was a pleasure to finally meet Justin learn more about all they have to offer the beer lovers of this great Hoosier state.

Joining The Indiana On Tap Tasting Society Marketplace gives its members a unique rewards program with benefits from over ninety participating Indiana breweries and partner locations for the dirt cheap price of only $59 a year. Four Day Ray Brewing, being the newest brewery to partner with Indiana On Tap, has a dynamite rewards program now available to Tasting Society Members. Tune into tonight's episode to find you how you can become one of the cool kids and get some of the best drink specials in the state. And then be sure to make it to The Hatch in Broad Ripple on Friday, January 13th, for the Gathering of the Indiana Tasting Society which will feature brews from Four Day Ray.

Much was covered in this entertaining episode, so you won't want to miss a beat. We discuss our upcoming beer trip on the Indiana On Tap bus, Ale Force One, how to judge "mouthfeel" as Nikki Reed once referred to a beer as "chewy", craft beer strip joints, a little Tap Room etiquette 101.

Be sure to get to FDR this Monday, December 5th to celebrate Repeal Day! Many shout outs tonight which includes; Dos Ringos, Dig In, Noblesville Brewfest, Jonathon Hoyt & Hoosier Brews, Girls Pint Out, Hop Cat, The Dump Buckets, Lebanon, Indiana Mayor, Matthew Gentry, 'Savor Lebanon' Craft Beer, Wine and Food Festival, Winterfest 2017, Bottoms Up Beer, Craft Draft 2 Go, and Robert Rolfe Fedderson (who's tune, My Teri Ann can be heard at the end of this episode).
