Last night I had the privilege of being invited to a private beer event at Rocky's Sub Pub in Jeffersonville, Indiana. I was there with other local, knowledgeable beer folks (who knew I was considered part of that group huh?) to play with and give them feedback on a new beer application they are beta testing and planning to roll out later this month.

This kind of attitude is silly, of course – no doubt the predictable result of a friendly rivalry – but it was hard to remember that while cruising around downtown Jeffersonville looking for the Hops, Shops, & Chardonnay event Friday night. The directions I had were simple: the registration table would be located at Glossbrenner Gardens, which is at the corner of Spring Street and Chestnut Street.
