Blind Pig Confessions's Podcast

Brew Years Eve! We can't thank Danny Boy Beer Works enough for their great beer and hospitality. Tonight's episode of Friday Night Blind Pig Confessions was recorded on site at Danny Boys during their New Years Eve Celebration. We had a great time as always and had some great discussions with Danny's own Jennifer Dickman, the brew maestros during their special Brew Year Eve brewing, as well as some feedback from the crowd and we got the inside scoop of pig farming from owner/operator of Hayden Family Farms who is quite the interesting fellow. A grand time getting together with old friends and meeting new friends while enjoying some great food and beer as always at Danny Boys. Danny Boys is a must for all beer lovers. Stop in to say "hello", and grab yourself a tasty beverage. Tell 'em the Blind Pigs sent ya.

Check in to this rockin' episode as we explore Butt Rock with Dead Squirrels...  I swear that's not just a bad pun.  Our good friends, the boys of The Dead Squirrels, join us this week to rap about the origins of Glam Metal as we enjoy the Bogside Stout from Bier Brewery on stage at our home at Alley's Alehouse.  We dig into the early stages of Nerf Metal, Jim defends his love of Kip Winger, one of the Pigs prays for Alice Cooper, and Donny explains how Vince Neil is contractually too fat to go on with another Motley Crew tour.  Enjoy the show and come see the Pigs tomorrow night at Alley's Alehouse as The Dead Squirrels rock the stage. 

A big thanks to Towne Spirits and Fine Wines for inviting the Blind Pig boys into their home for a special show with manager, Mike Haddin. There is lots to take in on this episode. We discussed Indiana vs. northern states loves of hops vs stouts and porters and the many amazing craft brews and fine wines and bourbons available at Towne Spirits, as well as their sister store, Elite Beverages, which just opened off Hwy 37 in Nobelsville. Check the man cave full of stogies and their elite selection of bourbons in the display case up front. See how long it takes you to get through their entire selection of craft brews. (It's never ending and always changing, so good luck.) And find out how to get on their waiting list for limited edition beers. We reviewed a few elegant brews as well which Mike picked out for us. We got twisted on some Hairy Eyeball from Lagunitas Brewing Company, extended our holiday season with a little Alpha Klaus Xmas porter, and dug into some Eville American Wheat from Carson's. We are stoke

This week on Blind Pig Confessions we are joined by Kyle Buck of The Stampede String Band at Alley's Alehouse to chat about bar and leisure sports.

It's time to confess our sins of 2015.  We had a ball (with the exception of one nasty beer) recording this episode as we reminisced about some of our favorite shows of the year.  We touch on numerous topics on this one, such as, Dos Ringos, Whitey Morgan and the 78's, Bill Quaalude Cosby, who is Prudence of Dear Prudence, a typical Dougy Fresh rant about the Oscars(and he would also like to apologize now about this show starting with the crappy tune by Garth Brooks), a debate over whiskey in space and/or deep ocean whiskey, as well as what's to come in 2016.  Grab a cold one, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.We would like to give a big thanks to Danny Boy Beer Works for letting us celebrate New Year's Eve with them last night at their fabulous brewery in West Clay, and Alley's Alehouse for giving us their stage to do our show on Tuesday evenings and for the fine brews to review each episode.  Be sure to check our page each week for the upcoming week's Blind Pig Special at Alley's Alehouse (located inside Pinhea

Merry Xmas & Happy Holidays. Enjoy this Christmas edition of Blind Pig Confessions recorded at our home away from home, Alley's Alehouse. We share some past Christmas experiences and some of our most rememerable gifts with a few brews from The Bier Brewery.

This week on Blind Pig Friday Night Confessions we have a very special guest, Alley's General Manager, Jack Vermillion.  Jack talks about the many fine craft brews available at Alley's as well as the upscale, yet affordable menu made possible by their fine chefs.  We have loved our Tuesday nights at Alley's and look forward to many more in 2016.  Be sure to come join us every other Tuesday as we record the Blind Pig Show and be sure to ask for the Blind Pig Special for a great price on a tasty pulled pork sandwich and wash it down with one of the beers we will be reviewing that evening.  Great food, drinks, live music, cool, "lodge like" atmosphere, friendly staff, an arcade for the kids, sweet sand volleyball courts, and bowling are all available in one spot at Pinheads Entertainment Center & Alley's Alehouse.

Happy Days are Beer again!! Tune in an join us for a special episode as we celebrate Repeal Day on Friday Night Blind Pig Confessions. Tomorrow is the anniversary of not just the return of alcohol, but freedoms lost during those dark days of Prohibition. The boys are joined with friends at Alley's Alehouse in Fishers, IN as we dine on some tasty seasonal brews from The Bier Brewery and discuss those dingy days long gone and the rebirth of American craft brews and spirits. Cheers!

This week on Friday Night Blind Pig Confessions we took a field trip to Danny Boy Beer Works in the Village of West Clay. Our Marketing Director, Mandy Curry, sat in to guest host with the boys for a delightful evening. It was each of ours first trip to Danny’s so we were not sure what to expect. The first thing to hit you is the cool ambiance. Unlike many breweries which typically have a separate space for brewing hidden from the public view, Danny Boy invites its guests into the belly of the brewery. Only a chain link fence separates the crowd from the brewers, so as you enjoying your brew, you can watch and take in the intoxicating aroma while brewers work. Joining us on the show were Jen Dickman(Media Manager & Event Coordinator), Dustin Brown(Head Brewer), Derrek Herring(Assistant Brewer), and Jason Burkman(Manager). It will only take a few minutes of this episode to figure out how pleased we all were with the beer starting with their delicious Take Me to “Church” Irish Milk Stout. Tune in to find ou

Time for a Friday Night Blind Pig Confessions Hunting Season Special with special guests, Shannan Bauer or Cabela's and our new buddy, Ryan.  Perched on our stage at Alley's Alehouse, we get into the hunting seasons along with some campfire stories while reviewing another delicious brew from The Bier Brewery.  Dougie Fresh goes on minor rant about farm animal hunting, draft dodging, knuckledragger, Ted Nugent and we hear about giant mutant coyotes in Fishers.  Tune in for a fun night with good friends and enjoy a nice cold craft brew. 

This week on Friday Night Blind Pig confessions we had the pleasure of having one of Indy's own, highly sought after singer/songwriters, Mr. Chris Burch. Chris sits in with the boys to talk Holiday Pleasures. . and Pet Peeves. Once again we enjoy the atmosphere at our home away from home, Alley's Alehouse. We also review The Bier Brewery's PDG, that went perfectly with the delicious pulled pork sandwiches which are a must at least once a week

Blind Pig Confessions Exclusive We've already recorded our first two shows at Alley's Alehouse, but recently we had a chance to sit and talk with manager, Melodie Reffey. Tune into to an Exclusive Blind Pig Confessions to hear more about the many great craft beers, amazing food, music, and events available at Alley's Alehouse and Pinheads Bowling Alley. The boys are exited to have Alley's as new friends and sponsors of the show.

  Tonight on Friday Night Blind Pig Confessions the boys sit down with a great new local band, Dressed In Red at Alley’s Alehouse in Fishers, IN. These guys are creating quite the ruckus in the music scene before even putting out their first album. But they are putting on some great, must see, live performances that already has the city abuzz. Tune in and meet the band and find out where you can hear them next (hint, big show coming soon right here at Alley’s). A special band consisting of some seasoned players (that’s seasoned, not old, Nick) as well the rookie, (although anyone in these parts were already well aware of her amazing voice), Mel Reffey, who not only sings lead for Dressed In Red, but also manages the fabulous, Alley’s Alehouse. She talks about taming her bandmates and gives us a taste of all Alley’s has to offer. We review Scarlet Lane Brewery’s Vivian Red and their Dorian Stout, which are just a couple from one of the best craft beer selections in the area. Alley’s is a must for the beer and

Tonight the boys at Blind Pig Confessions are talking about the films that scare you into having to drink yourself to sleep because you are too scared to just go to sleep, or at least have another excuse to drink. 

This week on Friday Night Blind Pig Confessions we had the pleasure of sitting down at Claude and Annie’s in Fishers, IN with some very special guests. Joining us this week was Mr. Darrin Snider from Indy In-Tune (our syndicator), our famous and deliciously sexy bearded buddy, Patrick Hall, and the host of Niko’s Open Stage at Claude and Annie’s, Nick Wengler. Nick gives us the low down on open mic night every Wednesday as well as Keith Disbro’s DJ Bingo on Tuesdays (and Trivia on Thursdays) to name just a few of the many activities to enjoy each night at Claude and Annie’s. Due to the Back to the Future predictions that were not, we pay tribute to the many sci-fi predictions that have come to fruition as well as a review of Goose Island’s Autumn Ale. There were also some shout out to local musicians, Dead Squirrels, Dave Vogt, among others in this well rounded and fun episode with friends and drinks. And a big thanks to Heather Jones to putting up with us all evening.

A pleasure this week to sit with Nick Yoder of Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks, Michigan during their 4th Anniversary Party. Cowboy and Dougy Fresh could not have been more giddy on this trip. Spent the day before preparing by hitting some fine breweries in Michigan (one of Dougie's favorite, Right Brain Brewery, Jolly Pumpkin, Clam Lake Brewery, Greenbush Brewery). But we could not have had a better time on Saturday at Journeyman for the celebration. Still hard to believe they have only been around for four years and have such amazing spirits. A Journey here will not soon be forgotten. A beautiful old buggy whip factory, originally built by a staunch prohibitionist, EK Warren, set on a historic location with something to offer for every whiskey lover. We were able to enjoy some great live music from Brett Wiscons before sitting down with Nick to talk shop and share a glass of Last Feather Rye. Some special shout outs to our buddy Warren Kluck of Jason Lee and Kluck in the Morning Show, who was enjoying s

Cowboy, Jordan, and Dougie Fresh enjoy an evening of whiskey and brews with the boys from Dos Ringos, Trent Harris and Scot Heminger(aka. Busey).This episode we explored the roots of Outlaw Country and where it's at today as well as Trent's odd obsession with Taylor Swift.  Our good buddy Jamie Jackson posted about Ryan Adams new album covering Swift which prompted Dougie (being a Ryan Adams fan) to give it a listen . . . and now wishes he just would have downed a bottle of ammonia instead.  

Pumpkin Beer, Family Reunions, and a Free For AllThis week's episode he have special guest, Jay Jones, the legend in his own mind. He talk fall, football, pumpkin beer, and the love of motorboating. We began drinking a bit early on this one and Jay was unable to keep the BPC boys on topic. But an enjoyable off the wall evening for us and our listeners.

This week we discuss some cheap yet surprising bourbon and Fountain Square Brewery Backyard Porter while discussing some of our favorite live shows. Dougie Fresh expresses his love for quiet nights with Barry Manilow and Cowboy yammers on about Bob Seger.....again! Opening music by Sherman Tedder and Gladys Bently takes us out with a little 'Worried Blues'. A handful of shout outs to the always lovable Jamie Jackson and Sam Ash Music, Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys, Journeymen Distillery, and Right Brain Brewery and others.
