Tonight we welcome a visiting delegation of revelers from Cavalier Distributing, the official Indiana wholesaler for Founders Brewing Company. The genial John Host from Founders is coming along for the ride. The group's coming down to Bank Street Brewhouse first, and then will ride to the Pizzeria & Public House, hopefully by 7:00 p.m.
Accordingly, Eric and Ben have filled the taps with six Founders ales originally listed for Gravity Head, and four others -- just because they're there.
Remember: It's Black Friday at the Pizzeria & Public House. wear your 2011 "Gravity's Rainbow" t-shirt and receive a free NABC sticker as well as a chance to win a $20 gift card.
Here's the tap scene as of the start of business on Friday, March 11, and an overall view of how Gravity Head's gone so far. "Gone" is a good way of describing it, because only a handful of beers remain to go on line.
