A round of applause to Jason for holding up the Roundup fort last week. Looked like it was a fun week here for American Craft Beer Week. Hope you found yourself with some great beer. What does it say when you get back from vacation and you're ready for the long weekend? I think I miss New Orleans a little bit already. I highly recommend the Royal Street Inn in New Orleans if you get a chance to stay there. They only have three or four rooms, but they are really, really nice. Plus they give you tokens for a drink every night you stay and they have a nice selection of local beer. I do not, however, recommend the International Beer House on Bourbon Street. They did have a nice selection, but we could have bought a six pack (at the liquor store a block away) with what we paid for one beer. Live and learn, I suppose.
Hey, have you gotten your tickets for the first annual Bloomington Craft Beer Festival or Microbrewers' Festival? They are on sale here.

From John at Half Moon Brewery in Kokomo:
Applebottom ESB (Seasonal)
The Applebottom ESB (Extra Special Bitter) is an English-style beer with a soft aroma of hops and caramel malts. It's amber in color, has a medium bodied mouthfeel with medium-high hop bitterness, and a background of caramel and biscuity malt flavors. A great session beer for people that enjoy hops.
OG=1.052 ABV=5.25% IBU=45

Latest news is we picked up a 1/2bbl of sun King's "fist full of Hops" and everyone is really enjoying it.From Don at Puccini's Smiling Teeth, various locations:
Puccini's, locally owned and operated, has been in business for more than 20 years. Recently, we've been changing things up - we joined that newfangled twitter thing, added a gluten free menu, and now we're focusing on our beer list, featuring local and craft brews to pair with our pizza. We also added a gluten free option for our friends with special dietary needs.
We thought you might be interested in another local place to pair good food with tasty beers. Here's more info on our beer menu. Hope you come and check us out sometime soon!
