A heads up from The Heorot

Looks like there's a good reason to head to Muncie this December...

If you are a true "Beer Geek" you won't want to miss The Heorot's annual cellar sale!!

Stan has been in the cellar for days selecting a variety of beers for this years sale.

If you know anything about the Heorot cellar you know it would take days to go through all the cases of brew he has down there.

He has worked with World Class to create a special gift pack of 12 beers like Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, Bell's Winter White, Alpaha King, World Wide Stout, Delirium Noel just to name a few.

The sale starts on 12/1/07 and runs through 12/31/07. Remember quantities are limited.

THE HEOROT -
"It's all about the beer"

As we've said before, The Heorot is a Hoosier Beer Geek mecca - and it sounds like you've even got more reason to visit now.

For those of you who haven't been to The Fickle Peach, you're in for quite a treat. A trip to experience Muncie's bars (The Fickle Peach and The Heorot) is one that no one should miss, and in this case you can get The Fickle Peach marked off your list and contribute to a nice cause all in one fell swoop.

And the preliminary beer list is pretty nice as well: Upland Wheat, Upland Ard Ri (a Chris Maples 5 Mug rated beer), Goose Island Matilda, Warbird Golden Ale, Bluegrass Brewing Co Bourbon Barrel Stout (Mike's current "favorite beer ever"), 3 Floyds Alpha King, Bells Porter, Founders Dry Hop Pale Ale, Goose Island Honkers Ale, and one of Upland's new Lambics. There's a lot in there that we can recommend.

For more information about the event, check out the official event poster here or listen and learn about IPR at their website.

Ready Heorot, here we come!

We're jumping off the schedule this Saturday and taking a little road trip up I-69 to Muncie to check out the fabled Heorot Pub and Draughthouse, home to hundreds of beers on draft and in the bottle and the usual home for The Good Beer Show. I've been to the bar before on several occassions when hanging out with my friend Traci from the GBS, and it really is awesome. It's got great chartacter & atmosphere, and a beer list that will blow your mind. We've been talking for months about starting to roadtrip out of Indy for some reviews, and due to the fact that I'll be a childless bachelor this weekend, at least Mike, Gina, and I are seizing the opportunity.
