The 19th Annual Indiana Microbrewers Festival takes place on July 19.

There is a new Communications Director for the Brewers of Indiana Guild (BIG). Actually, Tristan Schmid is the first person to occupy this newly created position. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the most recent guild meeting. I'm now on the festival committee, and will be honing my contrarian opinions about such matters.

In the grand tradition of dropping multiple pins with one throw, here is Tristan's inaugural BIG press release, which previews the 19th Annual Indiana Microbrewers Festival.

INDIANAPOLIS (July 2, 2014) – Tickets are now available for the 19th Annual Indiana Microbrewers Festival, the largest beer festival in Indiana. The event takes place on Saturday, July 19, from 3-7 p.m. at Opti-Park, 780 East 66th Street, on the grounds of the Indianapolis Art Center in Broad Ripple on Indy’s north side. A portion of ticket sales benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Craft beer fans can purchase general admission tickets--which include a commemorative tasting glass, unlimited beer samples, and 3 p.m. admission--for $40. Early Bird tickets, good for entry at 2 p.m., are available for $15 more. The event is expected to sell out all 6,000 tickets in advance.

All tickets are available at brewersofindianaguild.com, and general admission tickets are for sale beginning today at Indianapolis-area Big Red Liquor stores.

$10 Designated Driver tickets, available online and at the gate the day of the event, are good for free unlimited soft drinks and coffee from Bee Coffee Roasters.

“This year’s event will be better than ever,” said Clay Robinson, President of the Brewers Guild of Indiana and Owner of Sun King Brewing. “80-plus breweries, most from Indiana, will bring more than 200 beers, giving craft beer fans plenty of their favorites and offering tastes of many new brews.”

The event will also feature local food vendors and musicians.
