What's Brewing
From Greg at Lafayette Brewing Co in Lafayette:
On tap at Lafayette Brewing Co.: Ouiatenon Wit; Prophet's Rock Pale Ale; East Side Bitter; Pipers' Pride Scottish Ale; Tippecanoe Common Ale; Eighty-Five; Black Angus Oatmeal Stout and Weeping Hog IPA.From Adam at Crown Brewing in Crown Point:
LBC has also working with local coffee merchant, Jerry Kalal at K Dees Coffee, to discover the perfect blend of beans to incorporate into a new specialty ale. The brew, to be known as Collaboration Java Porter, will be a classic English porter infused with Killer Beans organically grown Brazilian Bombshell coffee. LBC brewmaster, Greg Emig, believes the rich caramel and light smoky flavor of the Brazilian Bombshell will beautifully complement the subtle caramel and roasted malt flavors of the porter. Look for a late August release of this distinctive new brew.

Here's one beer I would like to be drinking right now...http://www.chow.com/stories/11771
What's up with the lack of "On the Shelves" lately? I can't imagine that there's no new beer out/restocked! I know it's up to the store managers to send in their info, I'm just reminding them that people read it.
