Optimator & Jared

I think I've mentioned on here before the Wednesday night beer specials at the new Scotty's Brew House on the northside. You can get mini-pitchers (approx. 3 pints) of Coors Lite & Killians for $2.50, and all other beers for $5.00. It seriously costs more to buy an individual pint than to get the special. I have class at Indiana Wesleyan every Wednesday night, so a group of friends and I go out after class, and they have the cheapest beer around, by far.

I've thought they had a decent selection - I've always been able to get Bell's Two-Hearted on tap - but never anything special. And they hadn't changed up the beer selection since they opened (early November), which is never a good sign for a place with "Brew House" in its title. But I found a special treat on the menu last night - my favorite beer in the world - Spaten's Optimator!! 3 Pints of Optimator for only $5! That, my friends, is the deal of the century.

On top of that, as we were leaving, we ran into Jared, the Subway guy (also an Indy native).

New URL

Hey, look up in your navigation bar. Notice anything different? Yeah, we have our own URL now - hoosierbeergeek.com. But don't worry, if you still have the blogspot site bookmarked, you'll automatically be directed here. Thanks to Jason for taking care of that.

Regular Roundtables

As previously mentioned, we have decided to regularly schedule our Roundtable nights. We have chosen the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of every month, beginning this week. We will be meeting at the Broad Ripple Brew Pub, and we encourage any of our regular readers to join us at 9pm. It's good if you can give us a shout in advance so we have enough table space. You can reach me at christophermaples@yahoo.com if you want to join us.

You will also notice a new section off to the side here called Upcoming Events. It gives the date, time and location of our Roundtables, as well as any other events and/or activities the Hoosier Beer Geeks are officially participating in.
