It seems like it was only yesterday when I first had a beer from Salt Springs Brewery. I wasn’t in their taproom though. I was in Detroit at the Detroit Fall Beer Fest. Darting around sheep in line for another brewery’s Skittles-infused variant of a NEIPA, I noticed a small Read more…
Nestled in northern Kent County, about twenty minutes north of Beer City USA, is a brewery that is quietly making excellent beer.
