If you've been following the past few weeks, you'll see that we've been getting ready for Winterfest on Saturday. We're super-excited to try beer from Tyranena, 75th Street, and Rust Belt and we hope that they will become regular fixtures in the Indiana market. I am also anticipating this event's Replicale (a coffee-oatmeal beer) quite a bit (big surprise if you know me, I know!).I hope you have your tickets already (no online tickets are left, but there may still be some at any of the locations listed here. We hope you'll say hello if you are there.
If there is something coming up that is not listed, we would love to hear about it. News, reviews, info, etc., to share for our next Random Beer Roundup can be submitted to hoosierbeergeek@gmail.com.)

On tap now is “The Hammer”, a Baltic Porter weighing in at 8.7%abv, and Hop Bomb is back and better than ever! Can’t wait for Winterfest!!
From Greg at Lafayette Brewing Co. in Lafayette:
The crew at Lafayette Brewing is eagerly anticipating this weekend's Winterfest. Look for our booth OUTSIDE on the patio along with the cask-conditioned beers and The Malt Shoppe station by WCB. We'll be serving a trio of cask-conditioned beers along with one super-secret draft offering: Double Dry Hopped Tippecanoe Common Ale; Killer Beans Oatmeal Stout; Dry Hopped Big Boris Barleywine and Pucker Brown, a Belgian-style sour brown ale. Don't worry, we'll also be bringing along a fire pit for those who can't handle the chill. But hey, it's a winter beer festival after all!
On tap this weekend at LBC: Ouiatenon Wit; Prophet's Rock Pale Ale; East Side Bitter; Pipers' Pride Scottish Ale; Tippecanoe Common Ale; Eighty-Five; Black Angus Oatmeal Stout; Snow Daze IPA; Weeping Hog IPA and the last bit of our Big Boris Barleywine. We'll also be featuring a cask of Double Dry Hopped Tippecanoe Common Ale for Firkin Thursday on 1/28.

While I love the site, how about giving South Bend some love? I see you have a Mishawaka Brew Co. link but, that's it. What about Fiddler's Hearth? We have beer up here, too:)

We'll gladly give South Bend some love! However, while we do our best to provide coverage around the state, all of us at HBG are based in Indy and our coverage inevitably focuses here.
ReplyDeleteIf you've got a favorite bartender or manager at Fiddler's Hearth, Legends or any other South Bend beer bar, let them know about Hoosier Beer Geek and have them contact us at hoosierbeergeek@gmail.com. We'll gladly include them in the roundup.
