Join us at one of Indy's hoppiest breweries for the Hop Swap! September 12th -

Here is how you play:
* Items must be made with hops, beer, or beer containers (cans, bottles, caps, etc). Flat 12 has offered to provide hops to participants of this event. Please contact amanda@girlspintout.com if you are interested in a list of the 30+ types of hops available and to arrange a pick-up.
*Please do not bring beer to trade.
*Items can be edible, but they do not have to be. Be creative, e.g. sachets of fragrant hops, candles made with beer, beer jam.
*Bring as few or as many items as you like within reason. If your item can be sampled, then you may bring samples.
*Swaps will be auction style. Each swapper will be given a bid sheet when they arrive with a space to write the name of the item(s) they brought at the top and blank lines for other swappers to indicate their interest in your item.
*The first 20 minutes will be the time for swappers to walk around and view and sample items from other swappers.
*The next 20 minutes will be spent bidding on other swappers items by filling out their bid sheet.
*During the final 20 minutes the actual swapping occurs.
Set-up starts at 5. Swapping begins at 6.

Sun King CANvitational
In 2009, Sun King Brewery brought Indianapolis local beer for the first time since the Indianapolis Brewing Company closed its doors in 1948. On Saturday, Sept. 28, history will be made again when Sun King hosts the inaugural CANvitational, the Midwest’s first-ever canned craft beer festival.
The Sun King CANvitational will bring more than 30 craft breweries representing 16 states to Georgia Street and Pan Am Plaza from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets, available online at www.canvitational.com, are $50 for general admission and $75 for early entry.
Each of the breweries was selected because of the quality of beer they are producing and, as the name of the event suggests, the festival will feature breweries that can their beers. For decades, the beer bottle was seen as the premier container; however, thanks to breweries like those participating in the CANvitational, a canning renaissance has put pint cans, tall boys and the 12 oz. standard back on the map in a whole new light.
In addition to great, canned craft beer, attendees will have plenty of food options for purchase from food trucks that will line Georgia Street, as well as a tent with options from the Omni on Pan Am Plaza. Music will be provided throughout the event by DJ Helicon and DJ Action Jackson.Pints for Half-Pints
