There is a lot of good beer on the radar this weekend. Let's start with the C-1 tapping at Brugge tonight. Also recently tapped and hopefully still available are Muscles From Brussels, a Belgian-style Black IPA with 10.2% ABV, 80 IBU's, and Belgian candi sugar from Barley Island, and the Imperial Cream Dream II: Electric Boogaloo from Sun King (tapped yesterday at Spencer's Stadium Tavern).
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.

What's Brewing
From Greg at Lafayette Brewing Co. in Lafayette:
Many thanks go out to all the folks who came out to support our 15th Annual LBC Winter Warmer this past Saturday. We enjoyed our 9th consecutive sell-out of the event and raised money for a great local charity, LAURA'S KIDS. As we mentioned at the festival, a portion of this year's proceeds will go towards establishing the Peach Schmitt Scholarship. Peach was one of the sweetest ladies we'd ever met, a former elementary school teacher and great friend of LBC who passed away in January. All the details are being finalized for the scholarship which will be based in part on financial need of the applicants.
We also want to thank all the brewers, volunteers, friends and family of LBC who donated food, services and/or time that make this event so special. And hey, where else in the world can you sample a 12-year-old barleywine? Good times, great beer and a worthy cause... it doesn't get any better than this!
On tap at LBC this weekend: Ouiatenon Wit Bier; Prophet's Rock Pale Ale; East Side Bitter; Pipers' Pride Scottish Ale; Tippecanoe Common Ale; Eighty-Five; Black Angus Oatmeal Stout; Weeping Hog IPA and our recently released Marley's VSOP (very superior old porter)- a Baltic porter matured on Jack Daniels Barrel Wood.
From Andrew at Oaken Barrel in Greenwood:
Our stouts are in full swing! The Nitro Oatmeal Stout is on tap now, and we will be tapping this year's rendition of the award-winning Oaken Barrel Java Stout on Saturday. We hope you all can make it out for a couple pints!
At the Bar
From Patrick at Patrick's Kitchen and Drinks in Zionsville:
On tap currently is Sun King Naptown Brown, HopSlam, Hop Wallop, and Gaffel Kolsch, about out of Elector Red, waiting on a keg of Ruination, and have ordered two bbls of the Sun King Electric Boogaloo...it's their Cream Dream II...
