Only that they don't brew much (4000 barrels? 5000? as opposed to Schlafly which is closing in on 20,000 barrels), struggle to keep their local market supplied, and have a HUGE event at their brewery just two weeks later, so these factors working in concert might explain the fact that they were only bringing two beers to the event.

They're definitely producing more beer than Mad Anthony, NABC and Brugge. The highlights of that list, at least from the Indiana perspective, would have to the Brugge's Triple and <a href="http://hoosierbeergeek.blogspot.com/2006/10/kotbr-review-5-brugges-dark.html" rel="nofollow">Black</a>, NABC's <a href="http://hoosierbeergeek.blogspot.com/2007/07/2007-indiana-microbrewers-festival-jims.html" rel="nofollow">Thunderfoot</a> and <a href="http://hoosierbeergeek.blogspot.com/2007/06/almost-too-many-beers-to-remember-brew.html" rel="nofollow">Hoptimus</a>, and of course Three Floyds Alpha King.

Hope to see you there. I'm excited that you're doing a Pliney the Elder (one of my all time favs). Have been trying to find the news clip of Drew at the Schlafly Repeal event from 12:01 this week - he said to Google channel 5 etc. but haven't had any luck - any suggstions? See you Sat. Kathy Hi Mike,
