People's Brewing Company Day at the Public House, with numerous other Indiana-brewed beers also on tap.

Chris Johnson, owner and brewer at People's Brewing Company, will be at the Public House tonight to help us celebrate the simultaneous tapping of six of his beers. Of course, the beers pictured below will be poured for consumption at the Pizzeria throughout the day, and the Public House opens at 5:00 p.m.

In addition, as the guest draft list shows, seven other Indiana-brewed beers (from Flat 12, Oaken Barrel, Sun King, Three Floyds and Upland) bring the total of Hoosier guest taps to 13.

But that's not counting NABC's own drafts: 15 of them, currently on tap. That's 28 Indiana beers in all, on tap at the Public House, right now.

People's Brewing coming to NABC's Public House on Wednesday, July 27.

NABC's guest beer program coordinator Eric Gray has been hard at work negotiating a Southern Indiana appearance by our friends at People's Brewing Company (Lafayette, IN), and we now have a firm booking: Wednesday, July 27 at the Public House.

I first met Chris Johnson in 2003, when he was employed as brewer at Lafayette Brewing Company, and it has been a pleasure to watch from afar as his brewing dream has unfolded with People's Brewing, which I consider among my top tier of favorite Indiana breweries.

Put simply, I like everything about it. There is an overall attitude of principled brewing and respect for beer, and this is reflected in Chris's beers, of which at least six will be on tap all at once at the Public House on July 27:

Amazon Princess
Mound Builder IPA
Aberrant Amber
Farmer's Daughter Wheat
Mr Brown
People's Pilsner

Eric's still intent to score another keg or two, and perhaps a firkin, so stay tuned for updates.
