Blind Pig Confessions's Podcast

Cowboy, Dougy Fresh, and Paulie Gee(e's are silent) are back one again to graciously cover this amazing two-day music festival and benefit. The event that started back in 2004 for one very special girl is now bringing families and friends from across America and beyond for a weekend of celebration and to bring awareness and more support for those affected by 4p-, also known as Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome (WHS), an extremely rare chromosome disorder. As always, the Pigs bring their own brand of silly, laid back fun to cover Kammy's Kause, without forgetting the heartfelt reason why they are there. Helping to co-host the event is the beautiful Sara Bishop and the Pigs' personal bodyguard, Griswold Stout. Tune in to Part One as they are joined by numerous band members and friends who come out each year to play music and give their time throughout the year to support Kammy and the 4p- Support Group. A big thanks for those who jumped on a mic to talk about why this event is so special to them as well as what's going

The 2nd show with our good friends Nicole and Sabine of the Pinkshots Podcast got a bit crazy, as we expected, and we’re delighted. Fueled again by some amazing beer from Burn ‘Em Brewing, Cowboy, Paulie G, and Dougy Fresh kick back with the ladies and talk sex, a little beer . . .  but mostly sex.  Any chance of being “Family Friendly” went out the window at about the two-minute mark.  Joining the gang once again at Burn ‘Em was Jerry Huener, Burn ‘Em founder, Blake Murray (when he wasn’t running around trying to keep up with a big Saturday crowd), and Mr. Emmit Muckles.  They touch on fetishes(no pun intended), nude vacations, bad dates, and the possible need for an intervention for Nicole.  Keep the kids far away from the speakers this week, but a must for those who need a good laugh. Check out the Pinkshots Facebook page and tune into their shows for more female insight on life . . . and alcohol.  And be sure to get your butt over to Burn ‘Em Brewing to grab yourself a few fine pints of craft goodness.  T

Cowboy and Dougy Fresh spent a wonderful afternoon in Traverse City, Michigan with their new comrades at The Workshop Brewery.  Founder Pete Kirkwood and his Minister of Propaganda, Jessica Rohloff sat and drank with the Pigs and talked shop, beer shop 101.  FOH Manager and bartender Greg Manley kept the afternoon powered and the table full of fresh brews as Pete gives some of finer details of their many beautifully delectable suds.  Love and suds continuously flow through marvelous establishment from the moment you walk through the front door.  You can feel the passion for the mission from the founder, the workers, as well as the patrons, and you can taste the passion in every beer.  A must stop whenever you’re in the Cherry Capital.  Take time to stop and smell the yeast. Have a few brews and then wander back through the hall to the adjoining Mammoth Distilling for some incredible Michigan craft spirits (don’t forget to try the Rye!).  And a big thanks to Stuart Hickman for setting us up and introducing us

Another segment from the home of Hunter.  Dougy Fresh, Cowboy, Hunter, and Paulie G (formally known as Pauly G) kick back once again to sample some brews and do what friends do best. . . make fun of each other.  They started things off with a Saison from a young brewery in northern Indiana, the Koonzt Lake Brewing Co. then shuffled through some Wisconsin brews including beers from MobCraft Beer, and 3 Sheeps Brewing Company. Hunter’s wife gives the boys a history lesson on Iowa, Paulie and Fresh fight over which town is better, Sheboygan or Cheboygan, and there is some creepy van talk as the Pigs gear up for Vannin’ 2019.  Special thanks to Cyrus Youngman and the Kingfishers for the use of their tune Life Won’t Wait to end tonight’s episode.  A must-see live show whenever you get the chance.  Shout outs in this episode include:  Hopped Up Network;  Central Waters Brewing Company;  Topling Goliath Brewing;  and the Noblesville Brewfest & Wine Garden 2018 Be sure to check us out Sundays on Indy In-Tune. www

Dougy Fresh, Pauly G., and Cowboy spent a fun filled afternoon at Burn ‘Em Brewing in Michigan City with a couple beautiful ladies, Nicole Kehoe and Sabine Hankiewicz of The Pink Shots Podcast, who turned out to be as delightfully inappropriate as The Pigs.  One of the Burn ‘Em Founding Fathers, Blake Murray, hosted the gathering and provided some of the many delectable brews Burn ‘Em has to offer and delivered some of the low down on the humble beginnings of the brewery and what’s to come next from this quickly growing local hot spot.  Also joining in on the mic for the afternoon was Mr. Jerry Huener as well as some background commentary from Sabine’s husband and Pink Shots bodyguard, Mr. Emmitt Muckles, who only knows how to live the billionaire lifestyle.  Tune in for the antics and get your butt to Burn ‘em for some great craft beer and entertainment such as their Tuesday night Vinyl Night hosted by the one and only Robert Rolfe Feddersen.  Shout outs in this episode include:  Sean Webster and Scott Hardw

Lurking in the depths of the old Monon Hotel in Crawfordsville, Indiana is a very young, and new Pig favorite, high end craft brewery, Backstep Brewing Company.  A place already rich with history now has a new community hot spot to make some history of their own.   Walking into Backstep you immediately feel you’re at home.  Owners, Jimmie Boros and Patrick Pennington, wanted a place where everyone from all walks of life could come in and enjoy some great conversation to accompany their choice of high end craft beer and spirits.  The Pigs believe they nailed that objective.  A plethora of some of the finest craft beers the state (and surrounding states) has to offer as well as an impressive bourbon collection line the back wall of the gorgeous bar.   As you’ll hear on the show, they could have ridden on the success of the tap house alone. . .but brewing great beer was the dream that started it all and now they have it all put together. Dougy Fresh, Pauly G., and Cowboy had the utmost pleasure to spend the afte

Taint Dragon Pauly G., Tex Mex, and straight outta the Pig Pen, Griswold, take over the mics for a night of Trivia at the Broad Ripple Brew Pub.  The monthly trivia night hosted by BRBP’s GM, Billy Hannan, has become a big, and entertaining, success so the Pigs were more than willing to send a team to compete along with BRBP’s head brewer, Mr. Jonathon Mullins.  The boys quickly found out just how challenging the night was going to be with some difficult questions from Mr. Hannan.  But as always, with the help of some delicious brews from the BRBP, much fun was had as usual, especially when Mullins is near, some odd conversation and laughs discussing what’s new at the BRBP, child star trivia, sock & sandals, and inappropriate adult theme parks.  Tune in and be sure to join the trivia challenge next month at the Broad Ripple Brew Pub.

BPC - One From The Vault - Robot Feet Here’s an “after hours” show that slipped through the cracks. Back in the very early days before better sound quality and professionalism, the original three Pigs had one (or two) too many and decided to keep the mics hot. Long after the show ended and after many more brews, a slightly intoxicated Cowboy, Dougy Fresh, and Jordan shared some muddy thoughts on life. Topics shift quickly from Jordan’s fear of small holes, South Park, dirty girls, dating women on parole, and Cowboy’s odd fascination with Carol Burnett . . . and feet.

Jordan, Pauly G and Tex-Mex return to Four Day Ray Brewing in Fishers and bring on a favorite, Brian Graham.  We revisit some topics from our day at Rock the Junction, their summer Break Series and FDR’s charity work like Tapped for a cause Tuesdays.    We sample some the current stock of released beers and even get a crack at some of the upcoming releases not yet available.  Jordan pleads his case for the creation of the MILF Stout and we get into some music and movie talk.  Warning, there might be some Star Wars spoilers in here. 

Pigs & Founders at Tippy’s Two (Premium) The tap takeover night was going to well to call it quits with Founders Brewing Co.’s Adam Lepper and Tippy’s owner, Sheila Jimenez, so the boys hung out for another power hour of laughs and more Founders brews to keep the party going.  A few local home brewers (AJ Berger, Kenny Fisher, & John Crist) joined the round table discussion and talk about some home brewing hits and disasters.   Adam delivers some beer mixing tips and sorts out some confusion for Pauly G. on a Tap Room versus a Tap House.   Off the rails is where this one begins, so pop a top, put your seat belts on, and enjoy this week’s episode.  And of course, head on down to Tippy’s afterwards for some cold beer and hot pizza.  And be sure to made Founders Taprooms in Grand Rapids and Detroit, Michigan a stop on any Michigan adventure.     Shout outs this week include:  Taxman; Mind Over Mash; Marshall County Brew Club; The Bier Brewery; Sean Manahan; Great Fermentations of Indiana; Ron Smith; Fina

The Pigs were delighted to cover the 1st annual Blood, Sweat, & Beers hosted by the fine folks of Round Town Brewery and Indiana On Tap on a beautiful afternoon in Indianapolis to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.  Mackenzie Schenk, owner of Round Town, sat down to start the show and explain her thought process behind this wicked day of brew ha-ha and Brewery Beer Olympics.  Although the Pigs helped shape some of the Olympic games, Mack wanted to turn things up a notch and start the games with a growler chug which made some of the brewers nervous, and in the end, wound up being a thorn in Round town’s side as their very own Mr. Eric Fear was the first to . . . unload some of the tasty brew and put them behind right out of the gate.  In the end, the gents from Brew Link came out with the win and the first crown, and a taco hat.  Tune in for some beer talk and laughs with many of the breweries who came out to serve some of their freshest summer brews and take part in the day’s activities.  Joining the piggy round ta

United in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the boys, Pauly G., Warren Kluck, Dougy Fresh, Ryan, Carol (Matt Patricia) Guzman, Jerry Huener, and Ernie, get buzzed up on some savory brews from One Well and discuss some of the most important topics challenging our Nation today.  Just kidding, it’s just beer talk and nonsense as usual.  They discuss Jerry’s lady (Alexa) issues, Michigan sports, Norte Dame hockey, the Kalamazoo Promise, bad roommate stories, and for a special treat, Tales of Romance by Kluck.  Tune in for another ride with the Pigs and be sure to check out One Well Brewing for some great beer and fun for the whole family.  http://onewellbrewing.com/  Shout outs in this week’s episode include:  Crooked Ewe Brewery; Alain Helfrich; and Four Day Ray And a special thanks to 800lb gorilla for the use of their tune, Commander Wax 2 to end tonight’s show.

Owner and operator of Tippy’s, Sheila Jimenez, invited the Pigs into her place once again for brews and laughs, this time fueled by some glorious craft beer from Founders Brewing Co.  Sales Rep, Adam, Barry White, Lepper, brought the good time with a plethora of groovy brews including, Rubaeus, Solid Gold Premium Lager, All Day IPA, Green Zebra, and the luscious, limited release KBS.  Be sure to get Tippy’s before the kegs run dry! The night was kicked off with a typical Dougy Fresh rant on Nirvana, DMB, and other horrible bands of the 90’s.  Adam delivers some history and background of Founders and some of their most famous and loved beers, such as that Dirty Bastard.  We learn what was behind the shortly disappearing baby, and the story of Bob, inventor of the 15 pack.  Grab your favorite Founders brew, kick back, and enjoy this week’s episode and be sure to get to Tippy’s for more beer, and of course, pizza.  Outdoor seating is now available and don’t miss May’s special, The Blind Pig Cheesy Pork and Brew.

This is a roller coaster ride of an episode.  The boys return to Alleys Alehouse to hang out and talk about their 1st times (with beer), their go to beers and their developing palates.  Paulie G, Tex Mex, and Jordan round out the Pig crew on this one.  We are joined by special guest the elusive A.J.  Lalani, and Chris Clark.  We start off diving into our beer pasts, our favorites and some old school experiences.      Suddenly things derail way and I mean way off the track and we learn about everything from Jordan being violated to Trey Deuce and his naked boat time.  We also had some unfortunate revelations about a 50’s singer but for your piece of mind we omitted that from this episode.  Join us on a hilarious romp in the style of Blind Pig Confessions.

Brews Theatre Enjoy a look back with one from the vault.  Recorded shortly after Super Bowl 50, one of the most boring bowls of all time, an agitated Dougy Fresh, Jordan, and Cowboy talk beer and movies.  Or at least attempted to talk about beer and movies before it turned into a “What grinds my gears” episode and how much they truly hated Super Bowl 50 and just about everything that went along with it.  (They apologize to any Coldplay fans who may be offended in advance.)
