New name, same great weekend in Madison, Indiana: RiverRoots festival runs May 18-20, with Indiana craft beer.
As best I can determine, here's the draft beer list for the craft beer tent at RiverRoots this coming weekend. How many regional music festivals can boast a lineup like this one?

Great Crescent Brewery
Cherry Ale
A lightly hopped, all-malt ale that receives a load of tart
cherries in the secondary fermentation, producing a flavorful beer, balanced
and not overpowering with fruit. The cherries are from orchards of the American
Midwest, and are along the same variety as cherries used
for Belgian Kriekbiers.

Coconut
Porter
A distinctive American interpretation of classic English
Style Porter, with coconut added during the boil to give this beer a unique, nutty
flavor that blends perfectly with the style.

Witbier
Refreshingly crisp, wheat-based ale with a slightly dry, tart
finish. It has moderate sweetness with spicy aromas and a hint of coriander and
citrus. This beer is very light
in color with a dense, white head and
some cloudiness from a special yeast strain.

New Albanian Brewing Company
Black
& Blue Grass
The great
Bill Monroe described his bluegrass music as "Scottish bagpipes and
ole-time fiddlin'. It’s Methodist and Holiness and Baptist. It's blues and
jazz, and it has a high lonesome sound." Belgian yeast from De Struise, and
stateside Saison spicing: Black pepper and blue agave and lemongrass.
ABV: 6.5%
IBU: 18
Community
Dark
Inspired by
traditional English Mild, the style that fueled the workers who made the
Industrial Revolution, Community Dark is revolutionary in its own way:
Dark-colored but light-bodied, and a classic session ale.
ABV: 3.7%
IBU: 13
NABC’s
hophead Brewmaster says, “Yakima
is simple in design: This beer is for me, here in the land of no coast. After
many years of liquid research, the time came to satisfy my inner desire to
craft a Rye IPA so immaculate that it would ‘up’ our revolution even further. Mission accomplished.”
ABV:
7.5%
IBU: 130

Osiris
Pale Ale

assertively hopped West Coast style of Pale Ale. Every aspect of this beer is
designed to showcase the hops without overpowering your taste buds.
ABV: 5.6%
IBU: 50
Sunlight
Cream Ale
Our most
approachable beer. A smooth malt profile and a crisp, clean finish.
ABV: 5.3%
IBU: 20
Wee Mac
This
Scottish-style Brown Ale has a nice hazelnut character with rich toffee
undertones
ABV: 5.3%
IBU: 23
Mobreki Brewery
(Beers to
be determined)
Preservation
Pilsner
Preservation
Pilsner is brewed in the traditional Bohemian style, originally created in the
town of Pilsen
in 1842, and offers a crisp, light taste without sacrificing its signature
all-malt, mellow flavor. We age our Pilsner for an entire month.
ABV: 5.2%
IBU: 36
Schwarz
Black Lager
Schwarzbier
(black beer) originated in medieval Germany , and our take on this ancient
lager delivers hints of chocolate and coffee, courtesy of its dark malts, with
a strong nose and a clean finish, striking the right balance of robust and
crisp, with enough bitterness to accentuate but not overpower.
ABV: 5.3%
IBU: 25
Wheat
Ale
A classic
rendition of the Belgian Witbier (white beer), brewed with organic coriander,
chamomile, and orange peel to be light on the tongue and refreshingly tart. In
the tradition of the Belgian Wit style, it is unfiltered, allowing suspended
yeast to create a cloudy, golden appearance.
ABV: 4.5%
IBU: 12
