Repeal of Prohibition Festival at Bottleworks
March 17, 2008 8:40 am Beer EventsEach year Schlafly invites breweries from a different state to come and celebrate the 21st Amendment. This year they’ve invited breweries from Indiana. For a while now I’ve held out hope that they would invite one of my favorite breweries (and one of the best in the nation, in my opinion) to the event. So I’ve been holding off on writing this up in the hopes that something big would happen. This weekend it did.
Three Floyds from Munster, Indiana will be attending the Repeal of Prohibition Festival at the Schlafly Bottleworks on Saturday, April 12th. While Three Floyds is awesome, it’s like a cherry on top of an amazing dessert. Not only do we get 3F, but we also get to enjoy beers from Brugge Brasserie, New Albanian Brewing Co. and Mad Anthony Brewing Co.
While I haven’t cleared this with anyone from Schlafly, I can almost guarentee I’ll be live blogging this event. But if you’re in the area, skip the live blog and make an effort to come down to the Festival. You’re going to have some of the best breweries in the nation celebrating the fact we get to enjoy their art. You can buy your tickets here and I would suggest ordering quickly, as I’m sure this one will sell out.

I was already looking forward to going. Now I’m really looking forward to going. Have your sources revealed what they 3F is bringing?

Not yet, but I’m going to possibly try and line up an interview with someone from 3F before the event.

STLToday.com is reporting a “barrel tap and toast” at Schlafly at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, 4/7 to mark the 75th anniversary of the repeal of prohibition. Hmm . . . a nice precursor to the event?

I am considering coming in from Indy for this. It would also be a good excuse to get out of town for a few days.
The Brugge is one of my favorite local brewpubs here. Ted Miller is the head brewer and just all around an amazing guy. Hopefully they bring the Black, the White, and Triple De Ripple. Fantastic local place here in Indy.
