From Patrick at Patrick’s Kitchen in Zionsville:
It's all about the beer 'round here! IPA's rule the roost lately with Fist Full of Hops on from Sun King, when it blows it is replaced by Sun King's Popcorn Pils which we had the last time they made it and it's crispy and delicious. Bell's Oberon is on, Dark Horse's Crooked Tree Double IPA is going fast, to be replaced by Dreadnaught, rounding it out is the Belgian Style Farmhouse Tank 7 from Boulevard Brewing....on Nitro mind you. Upland's Double Dragon Fly is representing Bloomington this month.
Oh Yeah!...Just ordered a 1/2 Barrel from Sun King of "A Few Hops More" which promises to be their hoppiest beer to date.... Lots of Magnum Hops ...like 80# in 30 bbls!
