Bottles of Tricentennial will be along later in June. It will be pouring briefly at both NABC locations beginning on Tuesday, June 4.
Rocking the Culbertson's garden party with NABC Tricentennial.
Turns out a day's worth of weather anxiety was utterly misplaced. There wasn't a drop of rain on the Culbertson Mansion's garden party last evening, and yet it was appropriately wet insofar as an entire 15.5 gallon keg of NABC's Tricentennial Ale was concerned -- that is, before it became "dry" when the keg floated at last call.
During my lawn chat about the history of brewing in New Albany, I read this chestnut to the crowd. It's a longtime favorite, and "Drive on Old Bock" should be a Houndmouth song.
"Mr. Paul Reising, West End brewer, will issue his second edition of "Bock Beer" tomorrow. His customers will be supplied with the beverage in a prompt manner, as Mr. Reising is a prompt and reliable business man. Some people drink sassafras tea in the spring of the year; others use sage catnip and such, and others sarsaparilla. That is their privilege. Another class prefers Bock Beer and it is their privilege to do so. This is a free country. Drive on old Bock."
