Blind Pig Confessions's Podcast

We were stoked to finally get into Four Day Ray Brewing. While we were patiently waiting for this prime venue in Fishers, Indiana to open, we had the pleasure of trying a few of their brews at the Noblesville Brew Festival this Fall and we fell in love with them instantly. Tune into tonight's episode as we celebrated National Stout Day as we sat and drank and with owner, Brian Graham, who had over twenty years of home brewing experience before stepping out and opening his own brewery with the help of brewer, Mitch Ackerman, and executive chef, Andrew Miller. They are taking Fishers by storm with a creative menu and straight forward, full bodied brews that will make any beer lover salivate. We spent the evening enjoying some fantastic brews while Brian tells the story of FDR and some of its upcoming endeavors and new brews, including their absolutely delicious Imperial Stout which was just tapped a few hours ago to celebrate Black Friday and quench the thirst of the holiday shoppers. We formed a great friendship with FDR over some fantastic beers and great conversation. Look for many more Blind Pig/FDR future shows and celebrations. Shout outs to Great Lakes Brewing Company, and to still one of the kings of the stouts, Guinness(although Cowboy, unlike the millions of stout lovers out there, sadly and oddly disagrees) Cheers!

Unpretentious: The one word that can summarize the dining philosophy as it relates to their cuisine, service staff, and ambiance of Madison's which located in the heart of downtown Pendleton, IN. Through the little hall just past the garden patio and indoor family dining rests a charming little, prohibition era like, adult only bar which boasts one of the best stocked bars in the Midwest with an eclectic wine list, an amazing array of whiskeys, and a wide variety of domestic, craft beers. The Pigs thought they died and went to heaven. The Pigs were invited for their World Tour of Whiskey event and had the pleasure of chatting with owner and chef, Dan Stackpoole, before their delightful whiskey journey. It was easy to figure out after hearing Dan talk about his passion for food and drinks just why Madison's has such a fantastic selection of fine wines and whiskeys. Only the best of the best make their way to this overflowing bar of goodies. The warm, quant, brick atmosphere, along with the savory menu and mammoth drink selection, is enough to provide anyone with a congenial time while dining at Madison's. But it's the great staff and local regulars who treat everyone who walks in the door as part of the family that will keep you coming back time and time again. Tune in to this week's episode to hear about Dan's journey to Madison's, it's great food and drinks, and some of the great live, original music you may encounter while you are there. Also hear from Mayor elect, Dwayne, who joined the boys after the whiskey tour as they discussed some of their favorites of the evening. Shout outs included: Fall Perk's Coffee House, Quack Daddy Donuts, The Bier Brewery, Redemption Alewerks, Taxman Brewing Company, The Guardian Brewing Company, Chapman's Brewing Company, Chilly Water Brewing, Upland Brewing Company, Fountain Square Brewing Company, Rick Garrett(the tenderloin man), Evil Czech Brewery, Tin Man Brewing Company, and the 12.05 Distillery.

Nestled in the quiet town of McCordsville is a brewery making some big noise. Scarlet Lane is still young in the Indy brewery scene but making some sophisticated brews to temp the pickiest of palettes. Owner and Head Brewer, Eilise Lane, cut her chops in the brewing business out in Oregon, and when the home brewing system started to overtake her home, Eilise and her husband Nick decided to pack it up, move back home to the Midwest, and start their own brewing business. What began as a production business quickly turned into a tap room due to the droves of locals who kept stopping by trying to get a cold one. So they found a corner to throw in some taps and a bar for a place to belly up to and it didn't take long for the word to get out. The good people of McCordsville have become quite protective of what like to think of as their Scarlet Lane. Cowboy, Pat, and Dougy Fresh had the pleasure of celebrating the Bicentennial at the Scarlet Lane Chili Cook Off. Unfortunately, we were unable to dazzle the crowd with our chili techniques, but that didn't stop us from having a great time while enjoying some delicious Scarlet brews. Tune in and hear as Eilise goes into depth on her journey from craft beer fan to craft beer master and why it's Halloween every day at Scarlet Lane. Then make your way to Scarlet Lane and meet us for a few pints. Cheers!

Nobelsville Brewfest was such an amazing event and the weather could not have been better. So many great beers and wines to choose from and the crowd was fantastic. It was the perfect way to kick off the Fall. We were surrounded in the beer tent with lots of old friends such as the reigning King of Next Hop Model, Dan Gohr of Redemption Alewerks, and we met many new brew friends as the day charged on fueled by some incredible craft beer. In this episode at the Brewfest we are joined in segments by owner and brewer of Heady Hollow, Keefe Pietri, Grand Jucntion Brewing Co.'s Jon Knight and Shawn Kessel, Four Day Ray's Brian Graham, Fuzic Media's Brent Oakley, and a very tipsy Riley Wunnerenberg from our very own Pig Pen. We would like to thank Riley for running us samples all day as we worked the mics. A big thanks to Greg and Julia of The Noblesville Brewfest for inviting us to cover this wonderful, annual event. We are already looking forward to being there again next year. Special mentions to Metazoa, Redemption Alewerks, Flix Brewhouse, Scarlet Lane, and the Bier Brewery (we're not gonna lie… we kinda missed Jerry) Tune in and make sure you don't miss out next fall. We'll see you there! Cheers!!
