Bank Street Brewhouse opening at 4:30 this Saturday ...
 ... yes, again.
The Bank Street Brewhouse will be opening late - yes, yet again - this Saturday, March 13, at 4:30 p.m. so that we may host our out of town friends from the Dubois County Suds Club.
Saturday, March 13
“ Dubois County Suds Club”
The club’s founder claims that the Publican once dispensed useful advice. This sounds highly suspect, but be that as it may, they’re coming for an afternoon at Bank Street Brewhouse, and I’ll be conveying samples of Gravity Head to them there.

Fine Food, Great Beer and Hospitality for All!
 It started on Plaza Drive with Sportstime Pizza in 1987 (now the NABC Pizzeria), followed by Rich O’s (NABC Public House) in 1990, the incorporation of the New Albanian Brewing Company in 1994, the launch of the original New Albanian Brewery in 2002 (the first commercial brewery in New Albany since 1935) and, more recently, the opening of the Prost! Rooms for reserved functions, special events and evening dining.
 In 2009 the all-night skull sessions were back - the craft beer flowing better than ever - and we have now opened our second location, in downtown New Albany. The Bank Street Brewhouse already features fine food and great NABC Beer in the Brasserie, a beer garden and a 15 barrel brewery for regional distribution of our soon to be famous draft beer! (There are also rumors of 750 ml. bottles of Hoptimus and Thunderfoot and 'Kaiser in a can'!)
Louisville’s perennially best beer selection is just across the river. We craft our own beer, serve hundreds of other fine beers from America and around the world, and offer locally renowned dining – now in two New Albany locations.
Welcome to our website! We hope to see you in person very soon;
virtual reality is sometimes enough, but fresh beer, delicious food
and good times are always better at the NABC.

Gravity Head 2010
 Gravity. Newton discovered it. We perfected it.
Gravity Head is NABC's annual celebration of the brewing world's biggest and best. Beginning on February 26, and lasting until all the kegs are gone, we'll be devoting numerous taps to showcasing these rare and sought-after beers.
Because not all listed Gravity Head beers can be served at the same time, and the list is in constant flux, see the blackboards for the daily selection. The usual NABC ales and guest drafts will be available during the festival's run.
The 2010 Gravity Head starting lineup will feature 15 kegs of high gravity beers chosen to exhibit maximum diversity of flavors and stylistic inspiration.
At various times during Gravity Head, there will be cask-conditioned gravity beers available from the hand-pull and/or gravity-fed from the bar top.
As always, solid second and third waves of craft brewed and imported beers will come on tap as the days pass. With 60 gravity beers in all ready to be tapped, we should be pouring into April.

“St. Patrick’s Day”
Wearing of the green is one thing, but drinking it is something else entirely. Ingesting green-tinted swill is tantamount to wearing a badge that reads, “I’m neither Irish nor particularly bright – scoff at me.” The accepted colors of Irish beer are black, red and gold, and in our traditionally minimalist fashion, we’ll be offering one keg of beer that roughly approximates each (dealer’s choice) while shunning other, more egregious and inauthentic forms of Hibernian revelry. Don’t forget: The second annual Celtic Fest at the New Albany Riverfront on Saturday, June 12.

  Highlights from Chef Josh's Weekend Menu
Okay. Chef Josh is at it again. He's promised us Scallops with Couscous for the weekend, but - and yes there is often a 'but' when we ask the master of the BSB kitchen to tell us on Thursday what he'll be cooking on Saturday - it won't be the Scallops with Couscous we know and love. Josh has an idea, but he's not talking ... yet.
We can hardly wait.
Josh will be doing another of our favorites this weekend, his 15-B Porter Beef Stew with roasted vegetables and whipped potatoes.
And that's all we could get out of him. Our advice is to stop by this weekend, check out his final menu and be pleasantly surprised; that's what we do.
 On tap in the BSB Brasserie
Abzug, Central European Cellarman's Beer
Beak's Best, American Bitter
Community Dark, Dark Mild Ale
Elector, Imperial Red Ale
Elsa von Horizon, Imperial Pilsner
Hoptimus, Imperial IPA
Malcolm's Old Setter's Ale, Aged Ale
Smoked Abzug,
Solidarity, Baltic Porter
TafelBier, Belgian Table Beer
ThunderFoot, Cherry Imperial Stout
and a surprise 12th tap for the weekend!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
  Mike Bauman, our cellarman at the NABC Pizzeria and Public House, suggests we watch for the return of Malcolm's Old Setter's Ale '07, his personal favorite among NABC brews, and a new comer from Sun King, Cream Dream II: Electric Boogaloo, a West Coast style IPA hopped with Simcoe and the new Citra hop. Not even Mike has tried this one yet, but he's looking forward to it.
Mike hasn't forgotten St. Paddy's day and says well have plenty of Guinness, Murphy's and Smithwick's for the occasion!
Coming Soon

 Last 5 kegs of Solidarity 2009 for Indiana accounts
John Campbell says friends in Evansville, Indianapolis and Muncie will have the last chances to enjoy this year's Solidarity, our Baltic Porter. Our last five kegs have gone to Cavalier Distributing; look for them at:
The Gerst Haus, Evansville
Barley Island, Broad Ripple
Brugge Brasserie, Broad Ripple
Scotty's, Indianapolis
Heorot, Muncie
... while Louisville's Rudyard Kipling and Zeppelin Cafe get Community Dark
Folks in the Metro shouldn't feel slighted, however. John tells us kegs of our dark, mild English session ale Community Dark have gone to Irish Rover and the Zeppelin Cafe in Louisville, and our friends at Rudyard Kipling's are getting the first keg of Abzug to be tapped anywhere but at the NABC.

 Jared's tapping an oak-aged firkin of Le Douche Mental on the hand pull this afternoon at the NABC Public House off Grant Line.
Le Douche Mental is an Imperial Belgian IPA Jared brewed last Fall in collaboration with Steve Berthel of Benton Harbor, Michigan's Livery Brewery.
Get Some! It won't last long.
In the Gravity Head lineup, BFM La Mandragore has replaced Stone's Vertical Epic 090909.
Our last keg of this year's Old Lightening Rod, our Strong Colonial Ale, has also gone on tap.

|
|
| Breweries: What’s up at NABC’s Grant Line brewing facility? |
|
 I've compiled and culled from Jared's dispatches at the front line.
At the Bank Street Brewhouse in downtown New Albany, NABC’s David Pierce and Jesse Williams are busily brewing brands for distribution, leaving Jared Williamson to man the kit at the original Pizzeria & Public House and create seasonals and specialties for on-premise consumption.
He's done some wonderful things, and continues to think far outside the Bud.
Recently Jared formulated the fourth in NABC’s rotating seasonal series of historical Revive-Ales: Hop-O. The others are Old Lightning Rod (Colonial Ale with molasses), Kaiser 2nd Reising (pre-Prohibition Pilsner) and Phoenix Kentucky Komon (Louisville-style, sour mash Common).
Hop-O was a cereal beverage of less than 1% abv produced by the Southern Indiana Brewing Company during the early years of Prohibition, except that the brewery subsequently was raided, shut down and the owner arrested in 1921 after federal agents determined the alcohol content to be well above 3%.
Deploying NABC’s lager yeast, Jared is brewing Hop-O to be top-heavy in adjuncts (oats, wheat, rye, corn syrup or maize, and a splash of honey malt) and will use whole leaf hops for moderate bitterness and ample aromatics.
Jared’s Hop-O will be ready for serving in mid-April. Also pouring in April will be single-hop Centennial and
Amarillo American Pale Ales, and a new round of Hoosier Daddy.
The next NABC/Schlafly/O'Fallon collaboration, C2, is to be brewed at NABC’s founding brewhouse during the week of March 22nd. The recipe is under discussion, and reputedly will have a Belgian orientation. Stay tuned for more details as the date draws near. Meanwhile, the brewing date for C3 has been set for some time in May at O’Fallon’, and a summertime release.

April, 2010 Series Still Open
As a graduate of Indiana University Southeast, it pleases me to no end that I'm able to teach the non-credit "Here's to Beer" courses. Recently staffer Leah tate of the IUS student newspaper dropped by Bank Street Brewhouse and set in on the final class session for my February group: Non-credit course educates students on history of beer.
Yes, you must be 21 ...
Next up: April, with class dates on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th, all Wednesdays, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and at our original location, the NABC Pizzeria & Public House, 3312 Plaza Drive (just off Grant Line Road) in New Albany. Get on board by going to the Indiana University Southeast web site.
Finally, for those who've taken the class previously or can prove to me that you're worthy, there'll be an advanced level Here's to Beer coming this fall, probably in September.

... at Jeffersonville Chili Cook-off
Chef Josh walked away with the People's Choice award for his Green Chili at last Thursday's 'Jeffersonville Main Street fifth-annual Chili and Brew Bonanza'. Josh prepared his Green Chili with Fiedler Family Farms' Pork and Black Beans for Fringe Fest last year and it has since become a popular offering at the Bank Street Brewhouse.
As for the disconnect between popular opinion, as reflected in the ballot for 'People's Choice', and the official judging, we can only conclude that its still not easy being green.

| Friends: Charlestown Pizza Company's 3 Year Anniversary ... |
|
  ... and C1 Release Party!
Tuesday, March 16, 6:00-11:00 p.m.
850 Main Street, Charlestown, IN 47111
Yes, Charlestown Pizza Co. is 3 years old!
And they've decided to celebrate with beer, but not just any beer - the last keg of C1, the Collaboration Ale from New Albanian, O' Fallon, & Schafly. They tucked away a small keg (1/6 bbl., 5.5 gallons) for the occasion and just when we thought we'd seen the last of it... voila!
Here are their plans so far:
3 beers from the New Albanian Brewing Co. on tap (all specialty beers, continuing the theme of No Repeats on Draft from the New Albanians) and bottles of Schlafly beer.
 Desserts galore....expect cakes, cupcakes, cream cheese pies, brownies, rice krispie treats...all made in Charlestown Pizza Co.'s own decadent fashion.
Pizza pairings to celebrate the last keg of C1 and their connection to the New Albanian Brewing Co.
Give-aways all night...shirts, beers, and other fun stuff. Scott Shreffler from Schlafly and the Gang from New Albanian Brewing Co. will be there to shake hands and kiss babies.
Shawn and Tajana might even may dip into the cellar and pull out a few rare beers to help celebrate.
They welcome any and all pizza and beer pairing suggestions on their Facebook page.
Help us help them have a fantastic Birthday Party!

  Forget about the bad news. Right now, it's all about Gravity Head. In the photo above, Jesse's tapping Aventinus Eisbock from the Anstich keg. We have a motorhome on site, local homebrew clubs tonight and Ohioans coming tomorrow.
And, before I forget, Chef Josh Lehman's green chili (remember Fringe Fest?) captured the people's choice vote at yesterday's Jeffersonville Main Street chili cook-off.
Like I wrote earlier on Facebook: Can your miserable corporate chain pub do this?
I didn't think so.
