Why talk of beers I never herd of?

Something with a cat theme in the northwest part of the city... Wildcat, maybe? It's been several years since I was there. I probably posted to rfdb about it at the time.

No, Circle V was fine. Never witnessed nor heard of an infection problem there that I can recall. They ended up going out of business because they couldn't get enough traffic in for the restaurant, which isn't surprising, given how they chose a thoroughly shitty location.

That's the one. It was universally reviled by anyone in Indy who had even a modicum of beer knowledge. Good to hear that they finally went under.

I guess they're proof that consistency can be overrated. They were certainly consistent in their infections.

Okay, my first batch sucked. Never should have used Karo Dark instead of corn sugar for primer...

Yeesh. You got it. And damn it, it's ME!

I never even heard of Wildcat, but I was in Bloomington most of the time. I went to Circle V once and found it OK. But yea, it *was* a bad location.

For you, then, a bottle of infected, underattenuated, flat micro- brewery beer, made by someone just figuring out how to go commercial and get into brewing for a "living." That'll set you right. It can be a can of stale, oxidized, bland megalager, if you prefer.

There *is* also bad beer, and very bad beer. Even from otherwise well-meaning sources.

New on Fox this fall...

"When Good Beers go Bad"

Follow the story of an affectionately hand crafted beer, shipped from the sheltered environment of its micro brewery to the mean coolers of an urban convenience store. See it fall in with the mass produced crowd, start hanging out on warm shelves instead of the cooler, see it take up with the its streetwise homies Light Struck and Skunked. Follow its inevitable fall from grace to its tragic end, stuffed in a brown paper bag, guzzled by a burbbling bag lady who would as soon be swilling Vick's Nyquile.

Why DO you people talk about beers I never heard of ...

... when you could be sending them to me, instead?
