From Andrew at Ram Brewery in Indianapolis/Fishers:
Shenanigan’s Irish Coffee
On March 17th, your RAM Restaurant and Brewery has just what St. Patrick would want on his big day. Not only will we have the malty overtones of Ole St. Mick’s Irish Red on tap, but we are also going to release Shenanigan’s Irish Coffee, which blends our seasonal Irish Red with a pleasant dose of Hubbard and Craven’s locally roasted coffee beans. This bombshell will be tapped at both locations at 1 p.m. on St. Patrick’s Day, and it will be for a limited time only. (In house only - no growlers) Enjoy!
RAM Small Ale Competition
Thank you to all of our entrants! We are excited to announce that we received 47 entries from 35 different brewers or brewing groups. There are going to be a lot of great beers to taste, and it will be a hard choice for our elite judging panel. Keep an eye out in early April to find out who gets to brew their beer with us.

From Charles at Upland Brewery in Bloomington/Indianapolis:
Upland's Blackberry and Cherry Lambics will be available for online reservation beginning at noon on Wednesday, March 16th. Just visit uplandbeer.com and follow the link on the the reservations page. Due to limited supply, reservations will be limited to one bottle of each style per person. Each bottle is $20 + tax.
You'll be able to pick up your bottles from our Bloomington Tap Room or Indy Tasting Room from March 29th through April 12th. That's right, unlike previous releases, you'll be able to choose whether to pick up your Lambics in Indianapolis or Bloomington!
As before, someone else can pick up your bottles for you, but they must show a copy of your ID.
There is no set time that reservations will close - we'll keep it open until we run out. But don't wait too long. Reservations closed after only 18 hours last time, and we have even fewer bottles this go-around...

From Corrie at Goose the Market in Indianapolis:
New on the shelves at the Goose...From Tomlinson Tap Room (City Market) in Indianapolis:
Oregon's Wandering Aengus is using the silver apples of the moon and the golden apples of the sun for its latest limited release ciders: one oak-aged and dry, another of exclusively tart, crisp Wicksons.
Six years ago, Hildegard discovered how hoppy life can be when she brewed the first Belgium-style IPA. What does that mean exactly? And who is HIldegard? Ask Urthel.
In a 12th century structure with an Italian goddess in the courtyard and brewing ingredients fresh from the castle's kitchen garden...yup, that's how the Thornbridge brewers craft their British beers, including Jaipur, an IPA worthy of the Italian goddess on the bottle.
