I'm on the e-mail list for Rich O's Public House in New Albany, IN (just
across the river from Louisville, KY: don't ask why I'm on the list, it's a long, albeit pleasant story), and got notice of the following event. Damn sure wish I could go! More info available at www.newalbanian.com and www.richos.com . GRAVITY HEAD 2004, VOLUME 6. CARBOHYDRATE LEVELS LOW? WE'VE GOT THE CURE. The insane spectacle known as Gravity Head begins on Friday, March 12, 2004. The list that follows includes kegs currently being stored deep within the NABC [New Albanian Brewing Co.] caverns and those that have been ordered explicitly for Gravity Head VI. The total so far is 41, a number that defies comprehension . but there may yet be others. American Microbrews Anderson Valley Brother David's Belgian-style Dubbel BBC Brewing Company Bearded Pat's Barley Wine 2002 Bell's Batch 6000 Bell's Consecrator Doppelbock Bell's Sparkling Ale Bluegrass Brewing Company Mephistopheles Metamorphosis Browning's Hercules Ale Great Lakes Anniversary Ale NABC Solidarity Baltic Porter North Coast Old Stock Ale Rocky River (Cleveland, OH) Zeus Juice Rocky River (Sevierville, TN) Grand Cru (barrel-aged) Rogue Imperial India Pale Ale (I2PA) Rogue Imperial Pilsner Rogue Imperial Stout Rogue Old Crustacean Barley Wine (1999?)

Wonder how many great ones are out there that only Stan and Daria know about? New Albanian really does deserve better attention, though, putting out some really good, really interesting beers (that means, ones I like). > Hmmmmmm.....

Yeah, what's four hours? -- Lew Bryson Their clothes are weird, their music sucks and they drink malternatives. And now you tell me they probably don't think Sierra Nevada is cool? This is what the passage of years does to you: It makes everyone around you more stupid. -- Michael Stewart 6/24/02 www.lewbryson.com |

Tips are well-appreciated, I'm sure, but I'm reasonably sure what Joel meant was that Rich O's "location" is fairly off the beaten beer-geek path (Boston to DC, Chicago to Madison via Milwaukee, Ft. Collins to Denver, and Anchorage to San Diego). -- Lew Bryson www.LewBryson.com Author of "New York Breweries" and "Pennsylvania Breweries," 2nd ed., both available at <www.amazon.com> The Hotmail address on this post is for newsgroups only: I don't check it, or respond to it.

Heck, for me to get there by plane I'd have to spend longer in the air and in airports than it'd take me to drive there. -- Joel Plutchak "Senza la birra tutto diventa orfano." plutchak@[...] - Italian proverb (slightly revised) |

Well, a bourbon drinker wouldn't necessarily agree! But there is one weird beer thing going on in the Louisville area that makes sense: there are times during the year when you can sample four different bourbon-barrel stouts from local breweries, including New Albany's own BourbonDaddy. -- Lew Bryson www.LewBryson.com Author of "New York Breweries" and "Pennsylvania Breweries," 2nd ed., both available at <www.amazon.com> The Hotmail address on this post is for newsgroups only: I don't check it, or respond to it.
