#HBGWeek | HBG's Hoosier Beer Week - July 15-20, 2014

We're eagerly awaiting the Brewers of Indiana Guild's 19th Annual Microbrewer's Festival, which is a little less than a month away. In fact, we're so eager to attend the festival that we want to get into the spirit as soon as we can. To that end, we've put together a series of beer events during festival week. We're calling that series of events Hoosier Beer Geek's Hoosier Beer Week. Spread the word, and use the hashtag #HBGWeek on Twitter and Facebook.
