From Corrie at Goose the Market in Indianapolis
Need some summer craft beer to go with your pignic? A refreshing brew for your boarbeque? New in the Goose cellar for this holiday weekend...
Five liter mini-kegs of Bell's Oberon are decorated with Salvador Dali's impression of a Hoosier summer.
Three Floyds' Blackheart is an English IPA (though next year their Braveheart--a Scottish IPA--may overthrow this annual spring release).
Upland's Nut Hugger, a brown ale, is their latest seasonal that we want to squirrel away.
They should line the Speedway with trees in honor of the love Boulevard has sent our way. Their unfiltered wheat is in a (track-approved) bottle shaped can...a bottle shaped can!
From Eric at 21st Amendment in Broad Ripple:
21st Amendment is proud to be selling Sun King cans at 5 of our locations! We also have plenty of other high end canned beer options including Souther Star Pine Belt Pale, Blue Moon, Leinenkugal Summer Shandy, Fat Tire and Stevens Point Cascade Pale, Special Lager and Nude Beach Wheat. If you're looking for a convenient race package we have plenty of Bell's Oberon 5L mini-kegs.
For those of you just looking for something new we now have Three Floyd's Blackheart. It's an English style IPA aged on toasted oak.
Have fun this weekend!

Upcoming Event:
From Ben at Mad Anthony Serious Homebrewers (MASH):
Botanical Brew & Q in Fort Wayne
The Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory will be holding the annual Brew & Q on June 13th. Some changes to the program, the addition of some demonstrations and a live Best of Show judging will be great improvements to the event. Tickets are only $5 and include sample tickets. I'm not sure what breweries have committed at this point. I'm sure that MABC is involved, though. They're doing the barbecue.
Details: http://www.botanicalconservatory.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=70:botanical-brew-a-q&catid=10:events-a- exhibitions&Itemid=1
This is the first year that the homebrew competition will be sanctioned. Registration ends on May 21st. Judging is June 12th. We will have a strong BJCP judge roster. Entries are $8 for the first entry and $4 for each additional entry. The first entry includes admission to the Conservatory's Brew & Q event on June 13th when winners will be announced and the Best of Show judging will be done as part of the activities.
