2014 RIver Roots FEstival – Music, Folk Arts and Indiana Craft Beer

It’s almost time again for RiverRoots, the annual music and folk arts festival on the banks of the Ohio in historic Madison, Indiana.

It takes place on Friday and Saturday nights, May 16 and 17, and for the ninth year running (actually, since the fest’s inception), NABC will be on hand to share beer vending duties with craft-brewing Hoosier friends: Upland Brewing Company (Bloomington IN), who’ve been there with us from the beginning; Great Crescent Brewing from Aurora; Indianapolis stalwart Sun King; and Power House out of Columbus.

In fact, in 2014 the craft beer tent is being sponsored in part by the Brewers of Indiana Guild. It’s a wonderful tradition to have great beers like these with equally great music, and an overall festival ethos of localism. It’s a testament to the vision of the fest’s founder, the late John Walburn.

We’ve already chosen NABC’s beer lineup for RiverRoots. There may be an added surprise; we’ve been known to get sentimental, and take beloved “special” kegs with us.

Black & Blue Grass … the undisputed hit of RiverRoots in 2012 and 2013

Houndmouth …

Hoptimus … sorry, but we must place a premium tariff on Sterner Stuff

We have a marvelous time pouring each year, so plan on attending and supporting the soothing idea that handcrafted music and handcrafted beer belong together. Hit the links above and below to learn more.
