Blind Pig Confessions's Podcast

This week on Friday Night Blind Pig Confessions we are joined by crazy man, Brandon Saunders of the rock band, Indien. He took us over the edge from take-off, but we had a blast. He does some name dropping of some great recording studios in town such as Chris Wodock of the Music Garage and Eric Johnson of The Pop Machine. Brandon goes into detail about the upcoming benefit for Brendan Vandergraff of Bizarre Noir who was viciously attacked recently. A big thanks to Roberto Cavazos Jr. for stepping in and co-hosting. This is an off the wall show in which we reviewed Dogfish Head Festina Peche and discussed a little bugs bunny.

Cheers!

We spend every week gloating about all the great beer in Indiana, but this week we were able to have a great local chef and master mixologist, Thom England of Dig IN, join us at Alley's Alehouse to talk about a one of kind event that only happens once a year each August, the premier farm-to-fork event featuring the best chefs, restaurants, producers, wineries, and breweries, Taste of Indiana. We pride ourselves on knowing a little about beer, but Thom is a true connoisseur when it comes to fine wines, dinning, and brews. Tonight's humorous discussion was of course had over a few cold brews, highlighted by Evil Czech's Vanilla Rye Porter, Voodoo. Tune in to learn more about Thom's road to his culinary expertise as well as the main event, Taste of Indiana 2016, happening this August 28th in downtown Indianapolis at the Military Park. This, as it is each year, is going to be amazing. One price gets you some of the finest foods from 40 of the finest chefs along with samples of dozens of craft beers and wines from around the state while enjoying live music from some great local bands. The Pigs may just be recording on site, so be sure to get your tickets today. We highly recommend going to www.digindiana.org or to their Facebook page at Dig IN~Taste of Indiana today and buying your tickets in advance since this event has been selling out fast. VIP tickets available for those who want to beat the crowds as enjoy some special benefits. Cheers! http://digindiana.orghttp://alleysalehouse.com http://evilczechbrewery.com

The tables were turned a bit on this one as the Pigs spent some time in the hot seat and got a couple of their freshest home brews evaluated by EZ Eric Fox & Dr. Hopenstein himself, Sean Hopenstein Manahan of Flat12 Bierwerks. Some time back, Sean stepped out of the shadow of his pop, aka. Atticus Finch, and decided to leave law school and brew beer. And let me tell you, there are a lot of happy people he decided to do just that. He is brewing some marvelous beer helping to put Flat12 on the Beer Map.

Lots of great brewing talk and tips in this episode as Sean and EZ give us some pointers on sharpening our brew skills as we enjoyed a few beers and laughs before they finally threw us out the door. And it's not every day we get to pass around a Ch'ti Blonde. . . so we had that going for us.

Looking forward to getting back to chat with these gents again and do a little Pig/Flat12 collaboration in the near future.

Tune in to this week's episode and then make your way to Flat12 Bierwerks Indianapolis to enjoy the cool, laid back atmosphere and friendly staff.

Lots of shout outs in this one, such as Central State Brewing, Jolly Pumpkin, and as so many times before, one of our favorite little gems in TN, BriarScratch Brewing

We thought about taking a departure from our usual slap stick antics for a evening and have a serious conversation about male pattern baldness. But then local stand-up comedians, Rick Garrett and Jeremy Brown showed up and we said, "Screw it. Here we go again".

Rick is coming hot off his Nuvo nomination for Best Stand-Up Comedian, and Jeremy was coming hot off the buffet at the Golden Coral.

You'll hear one the greatest Star Trek jokes and about Rick's battered up bride and about one of our favorite strip clubs in northern Wisconsin. Rich and Jeremy tell us some of their stand-up nightmares and why "All Ages" doesn't always mean "ALL" ages.

We were having too much fun to stop, so tune into part one of Comedy Night at Alley's and be on the lookout for part two which will be released in a couple weeks. Some shout outs to other local comedians Jeffrey Lewis Lance and the late Big Jim Leugers.

And a huge thanks to Holly Garrett for being so sweet and patient with us idiots all evening.

The boys enjoy an evening at the Broad Ripple Brew Pub with Head Brew Master, Mr. Jonathon Mullens. We first met Jonathon at Indiana's Next Hop Model(hosted by Indiana On Tap) when he left our boy Cowboy alone on stage to hang out to dry before making his own, a bit out of time, entrance to the main stage. Hopefully next year they'll master that runway. But tonight, we sit and enjoy some of Jonathon's creations and talk beer shop. He gives us insight behind Broad Ripple's owner, John Hill, who operates Indiana's oldest working brewery. The unique atmosphere, traditional European brews, and friendly staff makes you feel right at home at this little hidden gem in Indianapolis. Some shout outs to Sean Manahan of Flat12 Bierwerks and Redemption Alewerks.
