BPC - Episode 166 - Pigs dine at LaSalle

A festival of delights was had in South Bend, Indiana when the Pigs had the pleasure of spending a glorious evening filled with friends, conversation, live music, and some of the best craft beer and bourbons around. 

Casey Dvorak, Manager and craft beer expert of the LaSalle Kitchen and Tavern, invited the boys in for drinks and to learn more about the history behind this special place.  Everyone in the city knows The LaSalle Grill is the place in town to go when you want to experience some of the best food and wine in the Midwest.  Some still don’t know about the surprise you’ll find on the third floor waiting to temp your senses.  The LaSalle Tavern has all you need for a great night out on the town from the cozy ambiance to the killer food, a wicked top shelf Whiskey and Scotch selection, live music, and of course, carefully selected craft beer. 

Tune in to hear some of the unique history surrounding LaSalle as the gang enjoys some of the finest craft beer and whiskey finds from Mr. Casey Dvorak.

Somewhere in the outskirts of Northern Indiana is a hidden treasure where men can be men and women can shake their head and roll their eyes at their stupidity.   Paulie G and Dougy Fresh took the wrong exit and ended up at Hot Carl’s Taco Shack and ran into some good friends, Troy Lawmaster, Keith Oden, and Mike Olivarez and decided to turn on the mics and record the evenings shenanigans.  Co-hosting for the evening and trying to be the only voice of reason among these idiots was the lovely Michelle Dickey.    As usual, the conversation takes some odd twist and turns with some stories of past drunkenness with old friends and as always, fueled by some great craft beer.   Big thanks to Paula Lawmaster, Kim Olivarez, and Kirsten Lawmaster for putting up with the night’s endeavors, and also to Cyrus Youngman and the Kingfishers for use of their groovy tune, Life Won’t Wait which to end the episode.     Shout outs in this week’s episode include:  Koontz Lake Brewery;  Anderson Valley Brewing;  Evil Czech;  Pfriem;  1205 Distillery;  Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery;  Brew Link Brewing; and Hoppin’ Frog Brewery    After the show, start filling your own Tavour crate at https://about.tavour.com.    Cheers!   Be sure to check us out Sundays on Indy In-Tune. www.indyintune.com   Members of the Hopped Up Network.

Some of our favorite and most reoccurring guests, Jim, Donny, and Jamie of Dead Squirrels unite with the Pigs at The Yard Line for an evening of craft beer, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and possibly far too much laughter and inappropriateness for one night.   Before the boys hit the main stage to entertain the crowd, they spent some time pre-gaming with the Pigs and as usual, things quickly got out of hand.   Tune into hear what’s going on with the Squirrels as well as some random discussions on musical inspirations, festive nuts, cult de sacs, that one good Blake Shelton song, and the new Separatec underwear that may save lives.   Also some more on our newest sponsor, Tavour, the best way to get your craft beer fix.   The Yard Line isn’t just a great place to hear live music, but the place to go for a great craft beer line up, awesome bartenders, a few games of pool, and a kickin’ golf simulator.     Shout outs this week include:  Moxie;  Licking Hole Creek;  Founders;  New Holland; Redemption Alewerks;  Sun Records;  and Dos Ringos
