Blind Pig Confessions's Podcast

Outside the Green Room, we also did a little recording out in the crowd at the party level. Greg Jones of Whoa!Tiger jumps on the air to tell us about Tiger news and some of his solo projects as well, as Roberto relives some of his glory days. And we get up close with one of the city’s best artist, Amanda Keller of Keller Illustrations, and owner-operator of Indy Arty Party. We were a bit buzzed and energized but had a blast and can’t wait to do it again next summer. A weekend of live music and friends all for such an incredibly cause. It should be a “must go” on everyone’s calendar each summer. We ended the day of recording as 800lb Gorilla took the main stage so we had to once again end another episode with a tune from their newest album, Commander Wax. Get waxed! Cheers! Shout outs in this episode include: Moxxie; Hop your Face; Terry Valde; Veseria; and Villainous

Hunter, Tex Mex, Jordan, and Papa Smurf are joined by the Gentlemen of Eight One Two Farms. We are kept safe by our security guard Griswold and stalked by our buddy John! Tune in and hear us discuss hop farming, Quaff On, and much more on this power packed episode. What is purple, has a large vein and is sticky? What would cause Papa Smurf to put on Feathers and stand guard? The answers to these questions and more on this episode of The Blind Pig Confessions.   https://www.facebook.com/eightonetwofarmsllc/ https://www.facebook.com/QuaffONBrewingCompany/  

Event sponsor, Benjamin Cannon, of Spark Joy Music kicks off Part II of this special episode from the Hops & Hertz Festival at the Fountain Square Brewery.  Ben works his way through the details of this incredible, inaugural, live music and craft beer festival dedicated to discovering great city talent, while putting up with a slightly inebriated Cowboy.   The boys discuss their own recent discoveries in music, where they go to find music today, the Manson Family, and Jack White(the Jamie Jackson of Indy).   Jeff Kelly joins the round table once again, along with one the best guitar pickers in the city, John Fell, to talk about The Graveyard Shift.  Jeff also tells all you need to know about knitting(maybe too much). Fountain Square partner, Jeff Gibson, has a brew with the boys to tell all that’s going on and what to look forward to at the brewery. The day is rounded out nicely with the sweaty clan from Mr. Clit and the Pink Cigarettes after a rousing set on the inside stage.   A great day of live

The boys join owner Brian Graham at Four Day Ray Brewing in Fishers. We have a discussion around many different brews and brewing styles. Did you know in 2008 Michelob Ultra tried to do some craft flavors? Pat is obsessed with his new found love of these beers. We discuss spritzers and margaritas, and Brian's Cans. We dive into what FDR has coming out this winter and much more. This is a crazy fun rollercoaster of an episode. We most importantly get to sample some of FDR’s finest brews including: Blood Orange Blonde, Purple Smash, Heat is on, and Oktoberfest. Cheers!!! https://www.facebook.com/FourDayRay http://blindpigconfessions.com/podcast/

  The Crew:  Our gracious host for the day, Ryan Douglas; Brendan(Douglas Fresh) Douglas; Patrick(Pauly G.) Hall; Jeremy Nicely; Rick Greenless; and one slightly toasted, Warren Kluck Where to begin on this one?  This was Part Three of an afternoon in South Bend, Indiana on the weekend we introduced the newest Blind Pig, Mr. Warren Kluck.  By the end of hour three and a twenty minute rant on his hatred of Pink Floyd, we were wondering if we made a horrible mistake. Of course we’re kidding…we love our Warren.   The group was a bit drunk and ornery on hour three of the craft beer marathon… which of course we had to throw whiskey into the mix.    We talk Detroit Lions football, old ass QB’s, first tattoos, some rare but insightful words from Rick Greenless, and the re-release of Sgt. Pepper, Warren’s favorite Beatles album.   Lots of great craft beers went into the making of this episode including:  18th Street Devil’s Conclave; Prairie’s Sour Ale aged on Ginger; Bier Brewery’s award winning, Sanitarium; an

The boys return to their home away from home Alley’s Alehouse for a discussion about all things autumn related. We are heading into the fall season and we discuss (the best holiday of the year) Halloween, Pumpkin Beers, TV Premieres and much more. Jordan, Cowboy, Papa Smurf, Hunter and Tex-Mex round out the pigs and we are joined by our Security Guard Griswold and a special guest appearance from the always entertaining Sarah Burns. Listen to the pigs discuss several beers from some of our favorite brewers, Evil Czech and Taxman. We might even test out our skills as a new Boy Band as we turn to a little impromptu Acapella. Tune in now for fun, banter, and as always good brew reviews! Cheers......The Pigs

We had the special pleasure of being invited to coved Kammy's Kause this year on it's opening night.  We couldn't have been more humbled being part of this incredibly annual two day live music event for such a great cause.  We had a blast from moment we stepped into the American Legion park and it just kept getting better as the afternoon and evening flew by, much to quickly.   Ben Jarvis of Audiodacity has a brew with the boys before going on stage and tells a little about the work they have going on with their upcoming 2nd album.   The man who can be miserable in any situation(yet has impeccable hygiene), Ryan M. Brewer jumps on board and things go from weird to He Man and Captain Planet talk.   Of course we had to have the man who put this all together, Mr. Jared Hiner, for his beautiful daughter, Kammy.  We couldn't believe how calm and cool this cat could be with so much going on around us, but he has so much support from family, friends, and musicians in and around Indy, he can now enjoy this amazing ev

BPC - Episode 120 - Backyard Shenanigans The boys decided to go back to their roots and do a home show that turns into some serious backyard shenanigans.Paulie G, Jordan, Hunter and Roberto show up for the pigs and then we are joined by our pig pen brethren; The Riley, Griswold, and Dr. John. We review several beers from Florida, Tennessee, Indiana, and Wisconsin. We drink some Due South Brewery, 3 Daughters, Tampa Bay Brewing, Motor works Brewing, Stone, Wiseacre, and Central Waters. Many brews and some interesting and tantalizing conversation about high fiber beers, toilet champagne,battery acid in beer, and some great other topics.Tune in to get some great laughs and hear some honest beer reviews. Cheers !!!

Dougy Fresh, Pauly G, and the freshest Pig, Warren, continue their round table beer reviews with friends, Jeremy Nicely, Ryan Douglas, and Rick Greenless on a sunny afternoon in South Bend, Indiana.   We pick up this one about an hour into the debacle with a riveting discussions on beer and music elitists, local snobs and posers, some of our favorite whiskeys, and Rick has a Silent Bob moment.   Another hour of great brews were passed around including, Three Floyds, Chevalier Bertrand du Guesclin, The Gimp, and some Dick Kicker Malt Liquor from Founders.   Tune in to join the laughter. Cheers! Be sure to join us tomorrow at the Whitestown Brew Festival from noon till 4:30p. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=764913180346158&ref=br_rs                       

BPC - Episode 117 - Jockey Box Hero Part Hung We had the utmost pleasure covering Indiana On Tap’s inaugural Jockey Box Hero at The Hatch in Broad Ripple a few weeks ago.   It was the perfect day for craft beer and karaoke…behind a live band!   A special occasion is certain way as our very own Cowboy got to perform against some talented Indy folk and the one and only William Hung.   We enjoyed talks with old friends from The Moontown Brewing Company, Mackenzie from The Roundtown Brewery, Nikki Reed and Carter, and our new friends at 99.5 WZPL, Toni Dekeyser and Dave Smiley of the Smiley Morning Show we all know and love.  The WZPL folks got very comfortable speaking their minds with the Pigs… and we enjoyed every minute of it.  We get some dirty secrets about Nikki as well as some awful driving tips from Dave.   And of course we had to have American Idol’s, Mr. William Hung hang out (no pun intended) with the boys for a round as well as some jeering from Cowboy.  Hung is Mr. Infotainment!   You won’t want to

The boys Sit down with Josh and King Dan (2 x reigning champ of Indy’s next hop model) to talk beer and food at Redemption ale works. This episode is chocked full of beer talk and some great Dan jokes. We go from Wing and Wang’s, to Domain Names and everything in between. Tune in to learn about Magnum P. Rye, Reclamation, Dan’s odd Hobby, the greatness of Dumpster conversations, and much more. Shout outs on this episode to the Azimuth charity, featuring Redemption, Grand Junction, Hotel Tango, Two Deep, and Blake's Hard Cider.

Part two of our rockin' day at the annual, outdoor, live music and craft beer festival at the Grand Junction Brewing Co. beings with our good buddy Justin of Indiana On Tap, the sponsors of day's festivities.  These guys know how to put on a grand scale show.  We talk a little of what's going on with On Tap, including last Saturday's wildly fun, Jockey Box Hero, which featured one Mr. William Hung . . . and Cowboy.  Big props given in this segment to the guys over at the Moontown Brewing Company who are working diligently in opening their brewery to the public.  We get to spend some quality time with our boy, Shawn Kessel of Taxman Brewing Company who gives us the squeeze on sweat, blood, and beer.  His wife also announced she is taking inquiries to sell a pretty amazing home brew system(Don't tell Shawn), after the Pigs brew with him first.  Such a great event put on by the folks of Indiana On Tap and of course the place we always rave about, Grand Junction Brewing Co. We can't wait till next year to do it a

We recently announced the newest Pig, Warren Kluck, and although he's been on a few shows, tonight is our first Blind Pig South Bend edition with Dougy Fresh, Pauly G, Cowboy, and Mr. Warren Kluck.  We were joined by good friends, the host for the evening, Ryan Douglas (Dougy's big bro), Jeremy Nicely, and Rick Greenless.  This turned into a three hour debauchery, so we split it up into three segments for your listening pleasure.   Part One starts out with some incredible beer, Taxman's Mexican Chocolate Cake a Belgian-style dubbel, aged in bourbon barrels with cocoa nibs, cinnamon sticks and Mexican peppers.  It quickly warmed our hearts and got us chatting about Untappd and how cool, or incredibly dorky it is; home brewing; Uber nightmares; deuchey beer bottle collections (for anyone over the age of 21); how much is too much for a beer; the best live music joint around, Vegetable Buddies; and The Stingy Pours, the all-star rock band that never was. . . The debates get heated at times, but love is felt throu

The Pigs hit the airwaves to sponsor and cover a fantastic live music and craft beer festival at Fountain Square Brewery, the second of five Discovery Music events sponsored by Spark Joy Music and Musical Family Tree. Non stop, high energy talent hit the stages at noon and didn’t stop till after midnight. We started off the day with a quick visit from Grover, followed by Aaron from Musical Family Tree. We were all a bit ashamed to not know more about this non-profit organization doing so much for the music scene in and around Indy. Aaron educates us on the Family Tree as well as a little about her own band and where they can be found. Fountain Square’s, Luke Nelson joins the boys once again to tell us about the beer on hand at the event, as well as one made especially for Jackie Martinez, and what’s brewing in the upcoming future. We end Part One with a very special visit from Mr. Jared Hiner, the man behind Kammy’s Kause. We know all our fans in Indy know all about this incredible yearly event, but for those

Grand Junction Brewing Co. doesn’t just make great beer, they know how to throw one hell of a party.  They teamed up with those crazy kids from Indiana on Tap for a special summer throw down.  The Pigs were pleased to be a part of this amazing outdoor craft beer and live music festival.  A mild summer, mid morning storm didn’t scare away the beer drinkers and it ended up being a fantastic day of grooves and brews.    We have visits in Part One from a soggy Brian Graham of Four Day Ray Brewing, the boys from Brew Link Brewing (who took good care of us during the raining morning set up), Emily Denise(EmDog!) of the Deer Creek Brewery, Mr. Bob of Round Town Brewery, and a much needed, tasty visit from the electric Tipsy Turvey’s.    Lots going on with all these breweries.  You won’t want to miss Brew Link’s 1.5 Anniversary Party coming up in October.  We hear there is some Ivory aging in a Wild Turkey barrel we can’t wait to tap!  Join in the fun for Part One of Rock the Junction and stay tuned for Part T

In this episode the boys return to Alley's Alehouse​and bring on Special Guest Bill Bolander​ of BHR construction. He talks about his construction business along with his impressive Cans (or collection of). We sample some beer from Elysian Brewing,​ their super fuzz, Taxman Brewing Company​ Double Aged Barrell, TwoDEEP Brewing Co.​ Stoutella, Track Bier from The Bier Brewery​ and Cashmir from Evil Czech Brewery and Public House​. Do You miss Jim Neighbors? Cowboy Does! We talk all about Indy 500 and Nascar!

We begin Part II of Radiothon 2017 at Alley's Alehouse with a pleasant interruption but always appreciated visit from Mr. Jerry Connor of The Bier Brewery.  Jerry joins the conversation with Fountain Square's Luke Nelson as we dig into craft beer, the woes of canning, and a little cans vs. bottle debate.  Next up, a few of the greats of the Indy music scene, Mr. Jeff Kelly and Eric Pedigo join to talk about how their scene has been transforming over the recent years, what they are currently up to, as well as an odd Wolf Man Jack impression from Jeff.  A not-so-sober Dougy Fresh and Pauly G. take the show out with some bizarre banter about allergies and radish aliments. Thanks again to Mr. Darrin Snider of Indy-In Tune and Benjamin Cannon of Spark Joy Music for inviting us out to participate in this great event.    Cheers! Big thanks once again to The Dead Squirrels for the use of their tune, U Gotta Lotta Nerve, from their new album to kick off tonight's episode.  Go to their FB page to find out how you can

This is a special Xmas in July,  Balls Out, episode not for those with sensitive ears.   The “Explicit” light went on early in this one. . . and never went out.   What happens when WWE’s Kevin Thorn stops by to have a few brews with the Pigs at Alley’s Alehouse?  Lots of fun and chaos!   The show got so out of hand, it took over 11 months to edit and release with an NC17 rating, but it was too good and the boys had too much fun on this one to not let it out.   Joining us for the evening(although he may wished he was not there) was the tenderloin, Chris Clark.  No way to break this one down.  Although he’s known to most the world as Kevin Thorn or Mordecai, we are privileged to know the man behind the tights, our friend, Kevin Fertig.  And Kevin goes deep and tells all in this one.  From his love of spandex, wrestling woes(and where fingers sometimes go), to an odd one on one in politics with Dougy Fresh.  But we also get the softer side to this friendly giant as we learn his number one focus in life, fa

The Pigs were honored to cover Indy In-Tune’s fifth annual Spring Radiothon, this year in support of Joy's House and the Alzheimer's Association of Greater Indiana with a goal of bringing music to those living with Alzheimer's.   It was a perfect day whether you wanted to chill to the acoustic acts outside on the patio or get down with the electric acts on stage inside Alley’s Alehouse.  A big thanks to Mr. Darrin Snider of Indy In-Tune for inviting us to cover this beertastic, all day, live music event.   Cowboy, Dougy Fresh, and Pauly G. get the beers flowing early for this one as they kick things off with one of the Radiothon sponsors, Ben Cannon of Spark Joy Music, and Luke Nelson of Fountain Square Brewery.  Lots going on with Spark Joy this year, and the Pigs will be covering some of their big summer live music events at the Fountain Square Brewery. (Tune in for more info!) Joy’s House Program Director, Candace Preston, and Program Manager, Corrina Thompson, joined the boys for a brew and some laughs a
