How's it going today? I am looking forward to a little KBS tonight at Shallo's and of course, the spectacularly awesome Craft Beer Meal Before Lunch tomorrow morning at Brugge. We hope you were able to get your tickets because there won't be any at the door. Besides, where else will you get to try 2 bacon beers? Nowhere. Probably.Sun King is getting their cans delivered TODAY! They are beautifully done and we can't wait to see them around town.
Best of luck to those taking the BJCP exam tomorrow.

What's Brewing
From Billy at Broad Ripple Brewpub in Indianapolis:
As part of our on going 20th year celebration leading up to our birthday bash on November 14th, we're inviting people to go to our website, Broadripplebrewpub.com, and vote for beers we've had on in the past that they would like to see back again. We'll be tapping the top six vote getters, one a month, starting in May.
From Dan at The Ram Brewery, locations Downtown and Northside:Help us celebrate the release of our Infinite Wisdom Tripel on Saturday, March 27th. It's going to be an awesome combination of art, music, and hand-crafted, limited release Belgian-style ale. Check out the details at uplandbeer.com. Here's a day-plan for you: Drop in at the brewery between 3 and 5 for a tour, have a sampler flight, grab some dinner at one of Bloomington's awesome restaurants, and then head over to Jake's for the show.

Guided Beer Vacations to Belgium and Germany!
Now through the end of April (about the next 5 weeks) is the timeframe where I need to get firm commitments from people. You can read about my Belgium Trip here (http://www.beermba.com/belgium-beer-vacations.php ) and my Germany Trip here (http://www.beermba.com/germany-beer-vacations.php ). There is also some general information here (http://www.beermba.com/beer-vacations.php ). These are great trips designed to maximize the enjoyment of beer lovers that want to see these parts of the world without all the stress, planning, etc. While being primarily beer-focused, we also break it up and visit many of the usual tourist sites as well. Thus, even non-beer lovers will really enjoy them, but the true beer lover will be in heaven on these trips.
