Repeal of Prohibition Festival Liveblog
April 12, 2008 1:18 pm Beer NewsOk, ok, so I’m a little late getting this up. But can you blame me? Did you see that beer list I posted a few days ago? Anyway, I’m going to try and give you a lot of sights of this event and very little of my blathering. So keep checking in for lots of pictures of the event and a little bit of chatter.
2:20 - Remember my attempt at a Randal the Enamel Animal? Well I’ve got nothing on Schlafly’s designed by James Ottolini:
2:30 -Â Here’s the food available for today’s event. You also get to enjoy the sounds of Swing Deville while you’re enjoying your brat.
2:50 - The unveiling of the new Confucius!
3:40 - Lines are still long not only to enjoy the fine offerings of Schlafly but the fantastic Indiana Breweries as well.
4:30 - It’s amazing how when the festival dwindles down the homebrew always comes out!
5:02 - The aftermath of yet another great festival.

Did anyone else get the chance to try the NABC Phoenix Kentucky Komon? What the hell was in that? I had to pour it out. We joked it was moonshine.

I couldn’t even last a few sips out of my glass for it to grow on me, I had to pour it. I did enjoy the other NABC beers though.

Any one get any design information on the Confusious? The Randalls I’ve seen have always been packed full of hops, while this was not. It also appears from the pics to be much larger than the typical Randall. Did the design eliminate the foaminess problem that plagues Randalls? Inquiring minds and all. Thanks for posting the pics, Mike!

The Ottonator, or confucious 2, holds 8 gallons of Export Ipa, which was dry hopping on EKG’s, it was then put to soak on whole simcoe hops. The ridiculous size allows for much more soaking time compared to your average Randall, and to fill it up would cost hundreds these days.
