Hoosier Beer Calendar
Events are subject to change
From the Brewers:
From Jeff at Barley Island Brewery in Noblesville/Broad Ripple:
Thursday, March 3rd 6:00 pm tapping of a new beer, Whose Ear Double Red Ale, at both Barley Island locations. This big, malty double red ale features Summit, Cascade and CTZ hops. To enhance the aroma it was dry hopped with Cascade and CTZ. About 9.3% ABV and still in fermenter at press time so available in goblets and growlers (to go). This beer fits with our tavern theme in that Whose Ear?, as voiced while cleaning up a tavern floor, may have been the origination of the term Hoosier.
We finalized the beer lineup for Founder's, our guest brewery at Barley Island Restaurant & Brewhouse in Broad Ripple. John Host from Founder's will be on hand Wed March 9th 6:30 pm. Tapping:
* Nemesis - a surprise brew each year, the last keg available in Indiana
* Double Trouble, an Imperial IPA, 9.4%, 86 IBU's
* Red's Rye PA - 6.6%, 70 IBU's

From Clay at Sun King Brewing in Indianapolis:
From Lauren at Thr3e Wise Men Brewery in Indianapolis:
Today we are brewing our final brew on our original system! It will be decommissioned in stages today as we finish with each vessel... The brewhouse floors are being professionally coated this weekend and our new system arrives on Monday. It is a 30 bbl brewhouse specifically designed for Sun King by Newland Systems Inc. (the same folks who built Ninkasi's new brewhouse) out of Abbotsford, BC, Canada. Production will be down for a week, but we have been preparing for this over the past 3 months, so there won't be any lapse of product.
We are very excited about the new system and thankful the the people of Indianapolis have embraced our beer and allowed us to grow so rapidly!
