Blind Pig Confessions's Podcast

If you listen to our show, you know we mention quite often that with all these new breweries opening, what seem like daily, they better be putting out a quality product if they want to have some staying power.

We recently stepped into Metazoa which opened its doors just this past April and we were pleased to taste so many quality beers from such a young brewery. We spent a beautiful evening on their large outside seating area with Haley Fennell to fill us in on this young Indy brewery while live grooves were flowing indoors from the talented Robert Rolfe Feddersen.

We had an array of great Metazoa brews while enjoying a great view of downtown Indianapolis as the sun went down.

Metazoa is a big, bright, beautiful brewery that would fit in on any corner of San Diego, but we are pleased they have planted themselves in Indianapolis. Not only are they making some solid beers, this animal friendly brewery, is also giving back part of their profits to wildlife funding. Great view, pet friendly, live music, and good brew… what more do you need?

Tune in and find out which were our favorite brews of the night and then get down to Metazoa to quench your thirst.

Cheers!

Now owned by former Indianapolis Colts LB great, and Super Bowl Captain, Gary Brackett, The Stacked Pickle is becoming more popular than ever. The boys had the pleasure of spending an evening at The Stacked Pickle in Fishers, IN a few weeks ago. The first half of the show they were joined by the Pickle's Assistant GM, Bryce Gerlitz, who told us a little of the history behind the Pickle as well as the many things available for its hungry and thirsty patrons. The second half of the show the boys were joined by local comedian, Sam Loyd, and straight out of the Pig Pen, Clark Myers. The second half is a free for all as they enjoyed some splendid Bulleit Bourbon cocktails brought to us by a couple, very lovely, Bulleit Bourbon reps, whom we hope to have on the show very soon. We review a few of the many fine craft beers available at the Pickle, get into a little whiskey & scotch discussion, some Bulleit Bourbon history, and Jordan gives away his not-no-secret Bloody Mary recipe. Grab a cold one and tune into hear about the many great daily specials available, from special prices on burgers, wings, and pints, to the live music and trivia. Looking for a place to bring the whole family and enjoy the games during this football season? Bring 'em to The Stacked Pickle to watch the games on one of the many TV screens while enjoying some great food and drinks at very affordable prices. Some shout outs in this week's episode include Bell's Two Hearted and Scarlet Lane's Espresso Dorian Stout. This week's music provided by Chris Burch(opening) and The Dead Squirrels(closing).

It's always a special night when honorary Pig, Jerry Connor, joins the boys for the evening. Jerry invited us back once again to The Bier Brewery to be some of first to sample this year's batch of Pumpkin Bier which will be released to the public at Bier's Pumkin Ale Party next Friday night, Sept 9th. Be sure to join us for this fantastic fall kick off event.

Also joining in the fun this evening was the coordinator of the upcoming Noblesville Brewfest, Greg Baker. We couldn't be happier to part of this fantastic event coming to Noblesville on Sept. 24th. There will be an amazing line up of breweries(which includes The Bier Brewery, of course) and some great food along with live music for all to enjoy for a bargain price. And all event proceeds benefit the Forest Park Aquatic Center. Be sure to stop by the beer tent and say "hello" to the Pigs. Tune in to hear all the details of these two great events. Cheers!

Dougy Fresh takes the Pigs back to his home in Northern Michigan for the 1st in the Northern Michigan series as the boys take over the airwaves at Goodfellow's Grille on Mackinaw Island. This episode also features Beard's Brewery from Petoskey, MI. They had taken over the taps that evening just one day before their anniversary party at their own taproom the following day when they made the big announcement that they were expanding and moving to a bigger, well known spot in Petoskey. This was our introduction to Beard's and we were not disappointed. It was quickly and clearly recognized just why this young brewery was already growing. J.C. Olmo of Goodfellow's joined the roundtable to tell us all about Goodfellow's and all it has to offer before mixing us some killer cocktails of his own which comes out in part two of this night to be released soon. We're not sure how Beard's Ben Slocum finds time to brew with everything he has going on, but we are sure glad he does. He is just one of the team of fine brewers at Beard's putting out some delicious beer. We struggled to find any fault with everything we sampled that evening. We were so impressed at one point, we just sat in awe of the lacing still thick on a glass which had been sitting empty for more than 30 minutes. And as bourbon barrel aged lovers, we were ecstatic to be some of the first to be drinking their newest batch that was not being made available to the public til the following day. And it was glorious. It reminded us of another of our favorites out of Indy, Sanitarium, from The Bier Brewery. Each unique in their own right, but both equally fantastic. It was a thick, rich, chocolatey, bourbon delight in a glass. We had such a good time we are already making plans to go back to the Island for the big Halloween bash hosted by Goodfellow's Grille in October. Thank you again, Greg Klinger, for inviting us to this fine establishment where you'll find some of the best food and drinks in Mackinaw. Shout outs in this one to HopCat, a mutual favorite craft brew place of ours and our new friends Hail Danza!

If you live in or around Indianapolis, you know the name Sahm, and you know it's synonymous with great food. But young Eddie Sahm didn't want to stop at just providing great food, he dove into the craft beer scene, found a great brew master, and opened Big Lug Canteen in Nora next to another Sahm's great, Rockstone Pizzeria. And along with some fantastic Big Lug brews and grub, for the whiskey lovers, they carry some of the finest of Journeyman Distillery. You feel like your part of the family when you're at Big Lug's and the crowd had just as much fun on this evening as we did. Things get weird as one of the most active local artists and our good friend, Chris Burch, who's tune, The Gate is Broken, can be heard at the end of this episode, just happened to be in the house, so he jumped in to co-host along with passed guest and co-host Roberto Cavazos Jr. Lots of great laughs and conversation along with special mentions to brewing collaborators on Big Lug's Stranger in the Alps, Flix Brewhous and to all our friends at The Bier Brewery (why does Jerry come up everywhere we go?). Hunter makes the ultimate alcohol faux pas in this one, but luckily Big Lug always has lots more fresh brew on hand for these moments. Tune in and as always, Cheers!
