Rushing the Growler- June 20, 2008

LOS BLANCOS LIVE TONIGHT

Get ready for some first-rate Latin jazz as this incredibly talented group of musicians assembles for another LBC session. With members scattered throughout the country, it's a rare occasion that these guys get together to jam. However, they'll be doing just that tonight here at LBC. Come on down and feel the heat! Show time is 9 pm- cover is only 5 bucks!

TASTE SET FOR SATURDAY

For the 15th consecutive year, we'll be hosting a pair of booth at this year's annual Taste of Tippecanoe. Look for both booths to be set up on Main St. directly in front of the entrance to the Chase Bank building. Our food booth will be offering up tasty Pulled Pork Beer-B-Que Sandwiches, Tecumseh's Brewhouse Rootbeer & Rootbeer Floats while the beer booth will be pouring Prophet's Rock Pale Ale, Tippecanoe Common Ale, Maifest Dunkel Lager and Black Angus Oatmeal Stout. As always, our beer booth offers the best beer value at the event with a 16 ounce draft priced at only $4. See you at the Taste!


PINT FOR A PINT SUCCESS STORY
A big THANKS! goes out to everyone who participated in our annual Pint for a Pint blood drive this past Saturday. We had 31 willing donors who gave of themselves (literally) in order to help support the Indiana Blood Center.

MOSEY DOWN MAIN, AGAIN!

After a fantastic inaugural turn-out, the Board of Works has approved another two dates for the Mosey Down Main Street event: Saturday, July 12, and Saturday, August 9. Come on out and see all the great things downtown has to offer! Main Street, from 6th to 9th, will be closed to vehicular traffic from 6 pm to midnight, and local merchants, bands and restaurants will be filling the area with music, food, sidewalk sales, dancing and much more.

BREWERY NEWS

Welcome, Matt! Our new brewer in training, Matt Williams, is being put through the paces by LBC Brewmaster Greg Emig. Matt joined the brewery staff on May 19, and has been enjoying the rigors of day-to-day life behind the glass. He'll get his first taste of festival action at this weekend's Taste of Tippecanoe, so stop by and say "hi" to our newest brewer.

Bottler on the fritz- Unfortunately, availability of our bottled products has been quite spotty of late due to some malfunctions with our bottling machine. We've had to ship the control panel off to Canada for some much-needed repair work. We'll get it up and running as soon as possible after the return of the panel. Our apologies for any inconvenience.

Firkin Thursday- On Thursday, June 26, we be tapping a firkin of Bourbon Barrel Select Pipers' Pride Scottish Ale. We've added a heaping helping of bourbon-soaked infusion spirals to the firkin to add a smooth bourbon & oak punch to the brew.

On Tap 6/20/08- Whitetail Wheat, Prophet's Rock Pale Ale, East Side Bitter, Pipers' Pride Scottish Ale, Tippecanoe Common Ale, Eighty-Five, Black Angus Oatmeal Stout and William Henry's Porter. We've also got a batch of draft Weeping Hop IPA waiting for an open tap line.
