What's Brewing
From New Albanian Brewing Co. in New Albany:
Sandkerwa begins on 9/16 and will continue through the weekend. See their website for more information about the lineup.
The first and hopefully annual Louisville Craft Beer Week commences on Friday, September 24 and runs through the following Saturday (October 2).
LCBW is a collaborative effort on the part of Louisville area brewing companies, wholesalers, retailers, and numerous beer lovers in various shapes and sizes. The event is modeled on similar celebrations in places like Philadelphia and Cleveland, and no matter the locale, the intent remains the same: To showcase the incredible variety and expanding market presence of craft brewing in America.

At the Bar
From Jordan at the Beer Sellar:
For the first time ever you the customers can choose our first Beer of the Month Draft. We have Victory Brewery's Golden Monkey, HopDevil Ale, Prima Pils, and Hop Wallop bottles. During the next two weeks whichever bottle sells the most will become our first Beer of the Month on Draft starting Monday October 4th. Come down and drink your vote.
Fall into the Oktoberfest Season with a sample paddle of 5 of our Oktoberfest beers for only $10.50. We currently have offerings from the following breweries: Bells, Spaten, Sun King, Sam Adams, Paulaner, and Warstiener.
Beer Sellar also offers the largest selection of Bell's beers in the state!! Bell's Pale Ale, Porter, Amber, Oktoberfest, TCOA, Q-Falls, Two-Hearted, and Oberon.
We now have on a very limited supply: Bells The Oracle Dipa Ale bottle: Double IPA 10% Alc by Vol. : The fireworks start with the floral aromatic punch of two separate dry-hop sessions with Amarillo and NZ Pacific Jade. Resinous, citrusy hop flavors mixed with aggressive bitterness.
Bells 25th Anniversary Ale bottle: Brewed with 100% Michigan-grown barley, 25th Anniversary Ale starts with caramel & light toffee flavors. These are paired with generous kettle & dry-hop additions, yielding a crisp, assertive bitterness and hop flavors ranging from citrus, floral, and piney notes.
We are only getting one case of each and when you buy a bottle you get a Bell's snifter glass (while supplies last).
Drink Local: Support Indiana beer by drinking one of our Indiana Crafted brews from Sun King, Three Floyds, Upland, Peoples, Oaken and Barrel, or Mishawaka brewing.
