The Pigs were delighted to cover the 1st annual Blood, Sweat, & Beers hosted by the fine folks of Round Town Brewery and Indiana On Tap on a beautiful afternoon in Indianapolis to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Mackenzie Schenk, owner of Round Town, sat down to start the show and explain her thought process behind this wicked day of brew ha-ha and Brewery Beer Olympics. Although the Pigs helped shape some of the Olympic games, Mack wanted to turn things up a notch and start the games with a growler chug which made some of the brewers nervous, and in the end, wound up being a thorn in Round town’s side as their very own Mr. Eric Fear was the first to . . . unload some of the tasty brew and put them behind right out of the gate. In the end, the gents from Brew Link came out with the win and the first crown, and a taco hat. Tune in for some beer talk and laughs with many of the breweries who came out to serve some of their freshest summer brews and take part in the day’s activities. Joining the piggy round table during the afternoon included, David Yancey of Taxman, Eric (The Pinball Wizard) and Jerry of Round Town, Josh Miller and Jimmie Boros of Backstep Brewing, Seth of Elm Street Brewing Co., and of course the winning team from Brew Link, who are great with beers and balls.

Let us take you on a journey. A journey back in time, to the year 1994 when Brendan had flowing lochs and was headbanging to his favorite 70’s metal bands, Pat had brown hair and was wearing his signature shell necklace, and Jordan actually had hair. Wait! It’s not the 90s it is Savor Lebanon. The boys head up north to attend this once a year beer, wine, and food festival. The DJ this year made us feel nostalgic for our youth as he turned out all the best and worst of the 90’s. Indiana On Tap again hosts a great festival with great breweries represented. We get to sit down with Erin Edds the owner/co-founder of Garden Party (crafted cocktails anyone), Allison Zook or Cardinal Spirits joins us to discuss their impressive line of craft spirits and liqueurs. We had some of their coffee liqueur in a milk stout and it created heaven on earth. We got to speak to Tell City about their triple boner and the Pour house their impressive tap room down south. Tune into this episode for some hilarious antics and good-hearted fun. Should brewing beer be a boy scout merit badge? What is that burning sensation in Pat’s pants? Why are the guys giggling so much about the Boner? What happens when 2 drunk guys show up with peach candy necklaces? All these and many more questions will be answered for you on this episode of Blind Pig Confessions.

A slightly hung-over group of Pigs (thanks to Eddy’s Sports Pub, Kevin Fertig, and carbombs) settled in for a glorious day of craft beer, wine, and live music from Rock Island and Duke Tumatoe at the 3rd Annual Whitestown Brew Fest, hosted by Indiana On Tap. We can’t thank Sarah Burns enough for the invite to cover this fantastic summer event. We kick off the day with our great friends from the Moontown Brewing Company who helped us to kick the dust off from the previous night and get revved up for the day. We had the pleasure to drink and talk to some of the area’s up and coming home brewers throughout the day and ended this segment with Tow Yard. Such a fun event. We loved meeting the home brewers and getting their perspective on the scene and see the new things they had brewing. Can’t wait till Whitestown Brew Fest 2018! We hope to see you all there!

BPC - Episode 117 - Jockey Box Hero Part Hung We had the utmost pleasure covering Indiana On Tap’s inaugural Jockey Box Hero at The Hatch in Broad Ripple a few weeks ago. It was the perfect day for craft beer and karaoke…behind a live band! A special occasion is certain way as our very own Cowboy got to perform against some talented Indy folk and the one and only William Hung. We enjoyed talks with old friends from The Moontown Brewing Company, Mackenzie from The Roundtown Brewery, Nikki Reed and Carter, and our new friends at 99.5 WZPL, Toni Dekeyser and Dave Smiley of the Smiley Morning Show we all know and love. The WZPL folks got very comfortable speaking their minds with the Pigs… and we enjoyed every minute of it. We get some dirty secrets about Nikki as well as some awful driving tips from Dave. And of course we had to have American Idol’s, Mr. William Hung hang out (no pun intended) with the boys for a round as well as some jeering from Cowboy. Hung is Mr. Infotainment!
