Verily, man does not live by craft beer alone - even if I've tried for years to prove otherwise.

By virtue of its three-way license, NABC's gastronomical brewpub project is inclusive of spirits, and from the beginning we've elected to eschew the majority of mixed drinks in favor of selected distilled products served neat or on the rocks. There'll be an exception or two, and Sunday Bloody Sunday is the first. It is the brainchild of John Campbell and once we've done the necessary tasting SBS will remain a Sunday staple, with an everyday Bloody Mary recipe available during other times.

August 2 was the trial run of our Sunday Bloody Mary Bar at the Bank Street Brewhouse. The official opening was on Sunday, August 16.

Following are three views of the exterior progress made during the past two weeks at the Bank Street Brewhouse. The streetside cutouts along the new sidewalk are for plants and trees. Note the patio roof of translucent smoked panels. The fourth photo shows Jesse and Dave as Duke Energy performs the long awaited electricity upgrade.

Monday would have been better, but it's not our dime, so sidewalk reconstruction began today at Bank Street Brewhouse. To get to the entry door, walk through the far end of the north patio area to the right of the building (also under construction). We're here, and we're open.

Yes, Roger is back from vacation, but since he is often accused of being a "commie", I thought I'd jump in to clear the air and dispel these malicious rumors. Seriously, is the Red Scare still going on?

Sigh ...

Day 3 of the brewery installation. Come in for a beer and watch it come together, that's why we made the walls out of glass, ya know.

I recently bought a fancy new Nikon that I obviously don't know how to use. I was going to publish photos of the brewery installation last night, but immediately noticed a blur in my vision and - without Hoptimus - knew it must be a case of bad photography. After some inner debate, I've decided to publish them anyway. Pretend you've had a pint or two of Hoptimus and you won't notice a thing.

The Livery's Steve Berthel and NABC's Jared Williamson are shown brewng a collaborative batch of Belgian IPA at the Grant Line garage brewhouse on Tuesday, September 15. Different portions of it will be aged and served in different ways, and you'll hear more about that later. For now, look to November for a release date.

Grassroots seems like an appropriate theme considering that I'm off to Madison, Indiana, to attend the Ohio River Valley Folk Festival this weekend. I would love to brag about the integrity of the event, their support of craft beer, local arts, and grassrooted, folk festivities, but I can't (See Roger's blog posts from last week for an in-depth explanation). Unfortunately, too many people have forgotten their roots in the race for success and supremacy. I can firmly state that we are not of that stock. We will always strive to learn, to improve, to grow, and to expand, but never by turning our backs on those who helped us, believed in us, and carried us along the way.

Yesterday was the occasion of NA 1 Night Stand, downtown New Albany's first ever "beer walk" - not to be associated with the annual autumn festival that always hates to have its name attached to such concepts. Rather, this one was the brainchild of Main Street resident Jala Miller, who put her formidable powers of marketing and social networking onto the task of filling downtown with people on an otherwise "normal" August evening.

To say it was a success is an understatement of epic dimension.

The fun started at 3:00 p.m., and the following photo shows the lamentable aftermath of Bank Street Brewhouse's first two red-clad, beer "walking," Bud Light-ordering customers, who couldn't bring themselves to finish their Kaisers, abruptly departing to drive off to continue their beer walk.

The New Albanians converge on Brendan's for a 4 course brunch paired with New Albanian Brewing Co. Beer.

"Food coma" described the results, but all of the pairings were right on. A great job by a talented crew at Brendan's. Thank you Guin, Joby, and Chris!

We'll be doing this again, probably in April.
