Daredevil Tomlinson Tap TakeoverIf you are on the lookout for Rare Devils, Tomlinson Tap is the place to be. Daredevil Brewing’s Anniversary Tap Takeover Bonanza kicks off at Tomlinson Tap tonight at 6pm. Muse Belgian Golden Ale with Blackberries is ready to be served (for those of you that missed it at the Twenty Tap event it was verified on their Twitter feed that all 7 beers will be there), as well as some other noteworthy devils include their Mr. 300 American Barleywine (with a ridiculous 300 IBUs :)), Slip Stream Pale Ale, and J.W.P American Stout.

Outliers Brewing Launch Party This Weekend

Outlier's Launch Party

 

Outliers Brewing Company will be throwing their Launch Party tomorrow night at their location at 534 E. North St. While you may have had the opportunity to try some of their newly released beers this past month, nothing beats a grand opening! The event boasts Outliers Buffalo Jacket IPA, Whitcomb Rye, Blaue Machen Pilsner, and County Brown, pints, growler fills, door prizes, and DJs Rusty Redenbacher and Mr. Kinetic. If this opening is anything like their soft opening at Twenty Tap I would definitely show up early. [googlemaps https://maps.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d3066.411661639712!2d-86.1490485!3d39.7753161!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x886b50ec9a114f8d%3A0x1571bd00d8c3e312!2s534+E+North+St%2C+Indianapolis%2C+IN+46202!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1389887535073&w=600&h=450]

Not only will we see the triumphant return of Muse Belgian Golden Ale, but there will also be some rare small batch brews available as well. It’s been exciting watching Daredevil grow their brand over the past 12 months, and we at BIMP would like to congratulate them on a successful year of awesome beer. Keep them coming! Also, if you haven’t had the opportunity to try their limited release JWP American Stout (released December 10, 2013), it is highly recommended. Cheers!

Twenty Tap Releases Underground Brewing Pale And Brown Ales

TwentyTap-logo_posterIf you are looking for a reason to like Twenty Tap even more, now’s your chance. We dropped by to try Twenty Tap’s recently released American Pale and Brown ales today. There have been rumors floating around for some time that Broad Ripple’s popular tap house had brewing on their mind, but nothing was officially confirmed. Twenty Tap tweeted about their release this Friday.

Make sure and head by for a pint before they run out. Looking forward to some great new local beer in the area. Cheers!

Triumph the Comic Insult Dog Visits GABF

Triumph the Comic Insult Dog got an all access pass to the Great American Beer Festival this year (Man I knew I should have pursued puppetry further). Either way, he got a chance to cut down craft beer enthusiasts, judges, and brewers alike. Enjoy!

“A microbrew connoisseur walks into a bar and he says to the bartender, “Give me your finest pumpkin ale, but make sure it’s not too hoppy.” So the bartender takes out a baseball bat and beats the man senseless while everyone cheers.”

Green Flash Brewing Tap Takeover at Twenty Tap

Green-Flash-Brewing
Twenty Tap is hosting a Green Flash Brewing (San Diego, CA) tap takeover tonight at 5:00pm. If you haven’t had a chance to try any of their beers yet this would be an excellent opportunity. I’ve got to say that I’m a pretty big fan of Le Freak. Looks like they will have West Coast IPA, Saison Diego, Hop Head Red, Le Freak, Green Bullet, Symposium, GF Barleywine, Double Stout Black Ale, Cedar Plank, and East Village Pilsner.
