Saw an "age your own whiskey" kit at Varsity Liquor.

That's awesome! Is it "accelerated" aging because of the small barrel size?

[SkyBrew]

That's exactly right John!

According to their website:

"Because of the small barrel size, the aging process is significantly accelerated with nicely aged whiskey available in 3-6 months (you be the judge!). Aging barrel can be refilled and reused multiple times."

I think Jack got one of these a while back. He'll have to chime in to see how it's aging.

Tasted today at the Gerst: Ommagang Hop House IPA. It has the hoppiness of Sierra Nevada Torpedo, but smoother; not as biting.

Both pints were delicious. I took a picture of the tap handle to share, but for some reason, the picture is out of focus .

Got me and my brother a six pack each at Liqour Locker!

[SkyBrew]

someone just sent me a picture of a six pack of zombie dust they said they got from Varsity Liquour today, they said it was the last one. Anyone see any ZD out in the wild?

Beer fest in Clarksville outside of Louisville May 31st

9th annual event benefits Crusade for Children

CLARKSVILLE, INDIANA—Some folks enjoy their beer so much that they’d gladly take a trip around the world to sample the wares. But if time and money are a little tight right now, the Keg Liquors Fest of Ale will condense the experience into one spring afternoon — and for a good cause, to boot.

The 9th annual Fest rolls around on Saturday, May 31st, from 3-7 p.m. For the sixth year, it’s on tap for St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 320 N. Sherwood Ave., Clarksville, Ind.

More than 60 breweries and seven craft brew distributors will serve samples of more than 150 craft and import beers, and seven fine wine distributors will serve wine samples. The St. Anthony’s Men’s Club will cook up hamburgers, hot dogs, brats and the like.

The overall atmosphere is fun and relaxed — participants are invited to bring a lawn chair and kick back for a few hours.

And Fest of Ale is a fundraiser for the WHAS Crusade for Children. Last year the event raised more than $10250.00. “We are looking to top that number this year,” says Todd Antz, who owns Keg Liquors.

Tickets are $30 in advance and $40 on the day of the event. They’re available now at Keg Liquors, 617 E. Lewis & Clark Pkwy., Clarksville; or their New Albany location at 302 Pearl St, New Albany; or online at http://www.kegliquors.com/fest_of_ale.html.

The Fest is scheduled rain-or-shine.
