It's been too long since we've offended the public at large. In an effort to remind you all of the profundity and brilliance of our beer knowledge we have decided to discuss one hop across three styles. Make sure to take detailed notes as this episode will surely help you pass your Cicerone Certification Program. The offerings in this episode all contain mosaic hops.  We start with Small and Soft from  Bare Hands Brewery .

812 Farms Part Deux

As is probably apparent, we're a few beers in at this point and we decide to add a few more.

Be sure to visit 812 Farms at the 8th Annual GnawBrew from September the 15th through the 17th. And, then again on September the 23rd at 450 North's Corn Maze Beer Fest. They will most assuredly be events you won't forget... Or, if you're doing it right, events you'll never be able to remember. Lastly, special shout-outs this episode to the following: Indianapolis Public Library, Jeff Vibbert, and Iron Valley Barbell

Drinking With 812 Farms Part 1

Our first ever two part episode! The guys from 812 Farms decided to drive all the way up from Columbus to have a beer and talk hops with us. In the first half of our conversation we talked future plans for 812 Farms and consumed a dry hopped IPA from 450 North Brewing Company, Fruity Nuggets. Oh, and be sure to head to the farm this Saturday with the ladies from Indy Girls Pint Out and tour the facilities, pick some hops, and enjoy some food and beer. Cheers!
