Pigs at 10-56 Rerelease We are re-releasing our recent show at 10-56 Brewery due to some editing issues which we have since cleared up(thanks to our wonderful IT piggy, Pauly G). We had too much fun with some of the most creative and all around nicest brewers in the biz, Mike and Erica. They do too much and give back too much to the community to not show them the respect due that we have for them. So, tune in and get your butts out to 10-56 Brewery in Knox, IN to meet the fine people there and enjoy some fantastic craft brews. Shout outs: Tippy's; Greenbush Brewery; Starke County Humane Society; American Foundation for Suicide Prevention After the show, start filling your own Tavour crate at https://about.tavour.com.

The Pigs spend and entertaining evening once again at Tippy's in Winamac, IN.

Dougy's main squeeze, Mikki, jumps in again to review some brews and the Pig's bodyguard, Griswold brings along his better half, Becky, to keep him in check.

The gang was in for a treat as Tippy's was taken over by New Belgium Brewery. New Belgium Ranger, Lisa Kerman, delights their palates with some old favorites and some fresh suds new to the Pigs such as the delicious Black Lager. Lisa gets into some history of the brewery as well as some future goals before going off the rails with some buzzed up, entertaining conversations including some bad alcohol memories and cat pee brew.
