From Gravity to Session this weekend.

Gravity Head is winding down, and Session Head is here. In a nutshell, the weekend NABC schedule looks like this.

Gravity Head Fan Appreciation Night
Friday, April 5 at the Pizzeria & Public House
The handful of remaining Gravity Head listed selections will continue to be tapped and poured, but we're on the downward arc. On Friday, April 5, all Gravity Head listed selections currently on tap will be priced as specials, all day long.

Session Head 2013
Starts Saturday, April 6 at the Pizzeria & Public House
Officially, Session Beer Day is on Sunday, but NABC is starting early on Saturday with Session Head. Consider it the polar opposite of Gravity Head; instead of small pours of big beers, it's full pours of small beers. The list is here, along with the session beer philosophy. Read, absorb, and act. Hoops junkies already know that the University of Louisville's game begins around 6:00 p.m. If the Cardinals advance to the final game on Monday, and even it they don't, it will be shown at the Pizzeria & Public House (Bank Street Brewhouse is closed on Mondays).

Session Beer Day 2013
Sunday, April 7 at Bank Street Brewhouse
We'll observe Session Beer Day at Bank Street Brewhouse, with our weekly Sunday brunch (prime rib and the omelette station on the first Sunday of the month) and NABC session series pints on special throughout the day.

In 2013: Looking forward to NABC's Session Series, Session Head, and Session Beer Day.

The photo was taken at the American Distilling Institute's conference in April, held at Huber's Orchard, Winery, Vineyards and Starlight Distillery in Starlight. We dispensed beer to thirsty participants, and because I knew Lew Bryson would be there, I wasn't about to miss a chance to have session-strength Community Dark (NABC has been making it for ten years, now) on hand. What you see in front is the cold plate cooler, and that's Lew to the right, moving toward the taps ... as is his habit in such situations.

Note that Session Beer Day is scheduled for Sunday, April 7, 2013. NABC will celebrate SBD at Bank Street Brewhouse with our own beers, and then on Monday, there'll be some of our beers as well as guests on tap at the Pizzeria & Public House for what we're calling Session Head, a "smaller" follow-up to the traditionally "big" Gravity Head ... which begins on Friday, February 22, and will be winding down by the first week of April. Mark your calendars now, and check back for updates next year.
