As our long drought of basketball nears its close, I have exhausted most, if not all alcohol options. Please send some suggestions my way on your BEER or LIQUOR of choice for Purdue basketball games! I will follow these results closely.
Suggestions for upcoming season

I'm addicted, well, not exactly "addicted," but highly desirous of Bell's Two Hearted for beer and Old Grandad Bonded bourbon. I'll go with Elysian Space Dust and Evan Williams Single Barrel for Runners-up.
I would try to stay away from Johnny Black label. I did not think it thru very well but let’s just say I had way too much during the VA game and ended up over served by a long way.
DDD- big fan of two hearted ale as well. If you can get your hand on some wholly roller by urban south (New Orleans) it could quickly become a favorite

Boiler Gold and Boiler Black. People's Brewing Company in Lafayette. Not great, but it sure is fun.
I think my dad drank that in the 50's and 60's!Is this the best combo for a Boilermaker?
If you live in the Raleigh area, Trophy Brewing puts up some serious brews. I've been drinking their Unchecked Czech Pilser, and it's quite good. Don't know if they have national distribution, but they should.
I'll definitely be drinking Trophy during any championship game, just so I can, uh, raise my own Trophy at home.

Leinenkugel's Canoe Paddler
may be the most readily available.
Calumet Queen - 3 Floyd's
may be the best
Freigeist Proteus - Upland in Bloomington is highly rated.
Summertime - By Goose Island
Full Circle - By New Holland
East-West Kolsch - By Sam Adams
Canoe Paddler is seasonal as are most Leinies. I discovered it late last summer and could find no more after the initial 6 pack. Knowing that I put back 8 six packs this summer. I drink sparingly do to meds and diabetes. One or two a week at most. My supply should last me until next spring's resupply.
Rhinegeist makes a good one, can't remember the name. I havent seen it in Lafayette though, actually found it at a rotating tap in Valparaiso oddly enough
Agreed. The issue I run into is that
Schlaffly is one of the best domestic craft kolsch I've had. There's that very specific bready, mildly sweet, citrus flavor (hard to explain) that most American craft brands haven't choose to replicate. The good news is that lighter beers are seeing a resurgence in the American craft market so you are starting to see more kolsch. Its a rough job, but I guess I'm going to have to just try a bunch more!
Yes! We made it for Saturday (first time there). The weather was great. Awesome time. I wish I had a weekend pass to check out the Friday shows including Lafayette’s own Axl Rose. Did you make it?
Same here, we also went Saturday. First time to any big music festival (excluding old school Lollapalooza, which is not the same). Can’t believe how much fun I had. And the mild weather was great. One thing that cracked me up was how many folks spent 3-4 hours watching the UT-OU game in the beer tent!
We were in the area Friday night so we went by and listened to parts of the Tame Impala and GNR sets from outside the fence.
Definitely will go back.
The Texas-OU game watching was funny. They could have stayed home to watch it! A good mix of people there. Teens getting their Instagram selfies, photo shoots by the flag poles was also funny to see especially early in the day. Crowds started rolling in around 4:00 or so but earlier in the day was great bouncing from stage to stage. Yes, will definitely go back!
