I'm on the e-mail list for Rich O's Public House in New Albany, IN (just across the river from Louisville, KY: don't ask why I'm on the list, it's a long, albeit pleasant story), and got notice of the following event. Damn sure wish I could go! More info available at
GRAVITY HEAD 2004, VOLUME 6. CARBOHYDRATE LEVELS LOW? WE'VE GOT THE CURE. The insane spectacle known as Gravity Head begins on Friday, March 12, 2004. The list that follows includes kegs currently being stored deep within the NABC [New Albanian Brewing Co.] caverns and those that have been ordered explicitly for Gravity Head VI. The total so far is 41, a number that defies comprehension . but there may yet be others.

No financial interest on my part whatsoever, I post this only in the interests of good beer and fairness; Rich O's and the New Albanian BC are consistently overlooked when great beer bars are talked about, and that, my friends, is a crime.
