I was a sophomore when it came out and my parents made me go with them. I sat about 12 rows ahead of them and made out with my girlfriend the whole time.

We have one of those joints with “130 taps,” but will only have around 30-40 when you visit, simply because they never order much of anything. The menu is more red lines than not.

We don’t get many east coast beers here in Indianapolis, but I’ve come to like Cambridge Brewing Company a decent amount, especially the Audacity of Hops IPA.

We call them Bullets here in Indiana. The new trend though is “crowlers,” or 32 oz. cans.

Kristen was great is Skeleton Twins. I can’t say her character was very different than any other she’s played, but the tone of that movie matched her so much better.

Amazing.

This was my first ever craft beer outside of Upland I’d had as I started college. I cannot for the life of me remember the taste, or another time I’d been close to buying it.

Was cooking dinner for a new girlfriend once. Decided to make homemade general tso’s chicken for the first time ever. I wasn’t new to cooking, but new to the Asian-style. The recipe called for three dried red chilis. I couldn’t find the peppers (I was looking in the veggies, not in the spices where they’re normall…

Did an interview with a brewer here in Indy that’ll be opening his spot this summer. Said whenever he goes to a new brewery, he always opts for the pilsners, because that’s where the brewer’s real talent shines.

TwoDEEP Brewing Company! A few blocks north of the circle on Capitol. Awesome English brown, maibock, and dunkelweizen. And incredibly good people.

There’s a brewery around the corner from my office here in Indy that pretty much only does English and German beers, with most of them topping around 5.5%. It has been an amazing addition to have nearby.

My friends and I are all wary, heading into Sunday. Here’s to a relatively safe and clean race.

As someone who knows Hinch, fuck.

I have a local place by my office where, almost every morning, I get three shots on ice. A coworker was going to get some coffee once and offered to get me something. I asked for my usual, not knowing she actually was going to Starbucks. I had to dump out what she brought back because it was burnt and incredibly…

If I’m taking a casual shower (i.e. not getting ready for work/wedding/etc) there is always a beer present.

Shouts to my guys at Quaff On!

I was really caught off guard by Schnicklefritz when I got it in a variety pack. Good stuff.

I’m not as big of a fan of it anymore, but we used to buy it in the $30 mini kegs and it was pretty good then. Not sure how it holds up years later.

My local store got it’s shipment of Oberon in at the usual time this year, and it just sat.... and sat.... and sat. Maybe some folks are pulling away from it?

Oh lord. A close friend of mine who trends toward being a late-20s frat star (big Acura SUV, goes golfing with his dad, ski trips, etc.) was over at my place for dinner one night when he says, “Hey man, I’ve tried a new bourbon this week and it was awesome.” Being the son of an boubon man and a fan of the drink…
