From David at Triton Brewing Co. in Lawrence:
-- Lennie’s hosted the 2012 Bloomington Brewing Company Homegrown Strong Ale release on Wednesday, September 26th, pub-side at 5pm.
Each year the Bloomington Brewing Company crafts a special batch of beer from the hopvines at their Loesch Road farmstead, grown under organic principles. In May, Head Hop-Farmer and Brewer Floyd Rosenbaum trellises the vines on strings and cables attached to 15’ poles. Come about August 1st the hop cones are ready to harvest and brew into a delicious, one-of-a-kind ale.
The 2012 installment of the Homegrown Series is a Strong Ale, light copper in color with a rich, malty sweetness and nice hop balance drawn exclusively from the local harvest of Cascade Hop cones. The Homegrown series is one of the favorites of the brewers and each year yields a beer chock full of personality.
Available only at Lennie’s for a limited time.
-- First Bottle -- Our first ever commercial bottle will be available for sale at Big Red Liquors (418 N.College location only) beginning Saturday October 6th. The beer is called B-Seven and is collaboration between Big Red, BBC using hand-picked Four Roses Bourbon Barrels to age our Blaze Bourbon Barrel Brown Ale. Only 450 hand numbered bottles will be available @ 12.99.
From Mike at Brugge Brasserie in Broad Ripple, Indianapolis:
Just a heads up that our website is now updated regularly with a current tap list. Here's where we're at at the moment.

Our bottle list is also on our site - it's probably a little longer than it would make sense to share here, but it's definitely worth a look.
From Skip at Fountain Square Brewing in Fountain Square, Indianapolis:
Put Oct. 6th on your calendar for the biggest party ever in Fountain Square. We will be tapping our “Hop Your Face” Imperial IPA along with showcasing 4 bands starting at 2pm.
Our first “Hop Your Face”! This annual Imperial IPA is aggressively hopped with four different hops and loaded with a complex mix of malts. Might as Well add dry hops so over 2 pounds per barrel of hops were added to enhance the aroma. When Push Comes to Shove, this 9.5% brew may drive you to Hell in a Bucket, but at least you’ll enjoy the ride.

Upcoming Events
From Mike at Brew Bracket:
Brew Bracket Bourbon Barrel Aged Beer Tournament (BBBourbon)
What makes this one special:
The beers are aged in bourbon barrels from Harrison Bourbon. Indiana beers slowly soaking in the flavor of an Indiana bourbon. It doesn’t get any better than that. The style for the brewers is wide open for any beer they feel would be enhanced with a several month barrel soak. The event will be held at Tomlinson Tap on Saturday, September 29th, as an anchor to National Bourbon Heritage month.
This event will run in a similar format to our standard tournaments. We’re featuring 8 brewers instead of the usual 16. We’ll actually be delivering the beer to the participants at their table and pouring it there, to keep a fun social element with the smaller crowd. Between rounds we’ll offer tastings of Harrison Bourbon to compliment the beers being tasted.
Event Details:
Saturday September 29th, 6-9PM
Tomlinson Tap Room in the City Market, Indianapolis
Ticket price: $45 (early bird special of $40 through July 29)
Tickets available here (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/258994)
BB101:
Brew Bracket is the only one of its kind, a true tasting tournament for local craft beer. Participating brewers bring a similar style of beer for each event and are seeded randomly into a bracket. Participants blindly taste the beer 2 glasses at a time and vote for their favorites based on taste alone. Over the course of the day winning beers advance through the tournament until a “best beer” is selected at the end of the event.
