Blind Pig Confessions's Podcast

It was a cold night in April and the boys decided to seek shelter in a quaint little tap room down in the city.  As we walked in we noticed the wooden furniture gave this place a warm and cozy feeling.  We looked around to see chalk boards that were decorated so well they looked like they belonged in an art museum.  One entire wall was covered with awards from every possible beer competition out there.    Then from across the room a Distinguished Gentleman came walking towards us, in slow motion from the back of the tap room.  Could it be?  It was King Jerry of Bier Brewery. It had been way too long since we got to sit down and chat the night away with one of our favorites. We talk about all things Bier Brewery, sample some great beers and have some great laughs. It was good to see the talented Sarah Buschman and as always, our favorite bartender Cheryl McCarthy. King Jerry even shared a bottle of this year’s incredible Barrel-Aged Sanitarium with us.  Jordan, Paulie G, Tex-Mex, and Griswold were like kids in

One Well Brewing – Fat Man Tears Dougy Fresh, Pauly G. and Kluck spent an amazing afternoon with good friends and an abundance of beer at One Well Brewing in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  Other friends making the voyage, Ryan Douglas, Jerry Huener, and Ernie sat with One Well’s, Carlos Guzman, for a day of beer and bonding as they learned more about this wondrous brewery.  Couldn’t have picked a better spot to spend National Beer Day.  Arriving just after lunch, the place was already packed as they quickly learned how much the surrounding community loved and supported this quickly expanding brewery.  The child friendly atmosphere has something for everyone of all ages, from pinball and steel tip darts to video and board games, to make your experience at One Well unforgettable and a place you will want to return to as often as possible.  Whether you’re a carnivore, vegetarian, or vegan, the menu is stuffed with delicious meals to pair with some fantastic craft beer.   Tune in to this week’s episode for lots of laughs

Part two of the recent Jordan Kitchen series was a dark beer and laugh fest with Pauly G., Dougy Fresh, Jordan, and friends, Griswold and local comedian, Trey Deuce and his lovely wife.   It’s typical for the Pigs to derail quickly . . . but we never even made it on the tracks on this one.   Lots of great beers from Brewdog, Barehands Brewery, as well as a few we couldn’t quite rave about.  But the conversation never slows as we get a little TMI on Dougy’s biscuits, some insight on Pauly’s mad pool skills, a discussion on Sunday laws, and Jordan serves us the beer of his people to take us out.   Shout outs in this week’s episode include:  Warpigs; Grand Junction; Brewlink; Dan Gohr and Redemption Aleworks; Indiana Whiskey; Jason Lee and Kluck Show and their podcast, Music to My Beers; Joshua Lakins and Twisted Crew; Robert Rolfe Feddersen; Round Town Brewery; Black Circle; and Mr. G’s

In this episode the boys return to their roots and record a good old-fashioned home recorded show with lots of beer sampling and crude humor. Dougy Fresh, Paulie G and Jordan are joined by Security Griswold and the one and only Trey Deuce to discuss some good and not so good brews from Green Flash, Fat Heads, Volbier, Lagunitas, Bison Brewing, WarPigs and the infamous Evil Twin.   We learn some interesting facts about Paulie G’s Tongue, the effects of Blueberry on your throat, and even a touch of Jordan’s alter ego’s ancestry.   This is a fun, crude old school episode that should not be missed.   Tune in to reminisce about the old school days with the bad boys of blind pig confessions.   Shout Outs:  Green Flash, Fat Heads, BriarScratch, Taxman, Volbier, Lagunitas, George Dickel, 812 Farms, Bier Brewery, Bison Brewing, Alleys Alehouse, Evil Twin, Mob Craft, Chilly Water, and War Pigs

Let us take you on a journey.  A journey back in time, to the year 1994 when Brendan had flowing lochs and was headbanging to his favorite 70’s metal bands, Pat had brown hair and was wearing his signature shell necklace, and Jordan actually had hair.  Wait!  It’s not the 90s it is Savor Lebanon.   The boys head up north to attend this once a year beer, wine, and food festival.   The DJ this year made us feel nostalgic for our youth as he turned out all the best and worst of the 90’s.  Indiana On Tap again hosts a great festival with great breweries represented.   We get to sit down with Erin Edds the owner/co-founder of Garden Party (crafted cocktails anyone), Allison Zook or Cardinal Spirits joins us to discuss their impressive line of craft spirits and liqueurs.  We had some of their coffee liqueur in a milk stout and it created heaven on earth.  We got to speak to Tell City about their triple boner and the Pour house their impressive tap room down south.   Tune into this episode for some hilarious antics

The 3rd annual Pies and Pints has come and gone and once again left us wanting more. So many tasty brews and pies filled the room at the Ivy Tech Community College Culinary and Conference Center along with jhhugames and music from DJ Kyle Long.  Pauly G., Dougy Fresh, and Jordan enjoyed spent another fun evening meeting new beer friends and reminiscing with old friends.   Arts for Learning Development Director, Jennifer Collins, gives the ins and outs of this special event where all the proceeds go each year along with some “chocolatey” upcoming events.   Even though they hit their goal early on, the Pigs thought it would only be right to donate, on the behalf of Indy comedian, Jeremy Brown, an extra $500 since he decided to go to church instead of joining us for the evening. (They do take cash, Jeremy, and thank you in advance.) Beer and pinball extraordinaire, Round Town’s very own,  Mr. Eric Fear, chats about the so many fabulous brews and events coming up for Round Town.   The almost too young che

We can’t thank Sarah Burns enough for the invite to cover this fantastic summer event.
