Today: Founders, Flat12 and NABC headline Gravity Head's third weekend.


Gravity Head 2013’s third weekend begins at 11:00 a.m. this morning (Friday, March 8), and it’s going to be a brewery troika of epic dimension.

It’s “Cavalier Distributing & Founders Brewing Night,” but this alone inadequately describes the scene, because most and possibly all of the Gravity Head tap space will be allocated to just three breweries. Representatives from each will be on hand. Follow the highlighted links for more detailed descriptions of their beers:

Flat12 Bierwerks (Indianapolis IN)
Founders Brewing Company (Grand Rapids MI)
New Albanian Brewing Company (New Albany IN)

Founders and NABC are distributed in Indiana by Cavalier, while Flat12 is available through World Class Beer.
