Most of the time I get recommendations for new breweries to try out by word of mouth. I was on a west side beer, I mean Lighthouse, trip one weekend, sitting at the bar at The Livery chatting with the Bartender and trying some delicious beers, when a fellow patron suggested I Read more…
The best thing about a quest to visit every brewery in Michigan is the opportunity to visit a lot of really cool places. With over 125 checked off on the list so far, I would say I’ve gotten to visit a whole lot of them. Sometimes you aren’t really feeling Read more…
My #OperationMIBrew adventures recently took me to the town of Lapeer and Tilted Axis Brewing Company. The Building, built in 1893 is pretty cool itself, but what they’ve created inside has made it a hot spot in Downtown Lapeer. My visit was on Memorial Day so I wasn’t sure if Read more…
Twenty Years. To some it is one year short of the Promise land or a year too long of crossing the bridge (Do the kids still do that or am I showing my age… wait that question gave it away didn’t it?) Anyway. Twenty years. That’s A LOT of beer. Read more…

Finally back on the Michigan Beer trail again this weekend and found myself at Parker’s Hilltop Brewery in Clarkston. At first I wasn’t sure this would be the place for me. It was a Saturday evening, so of course it was crazy busy. They did have complimentary valet service to Read more…
When you are on a mission to visit every brewery in the state you get to meet a lot of people, try a lot of different beers and see some really cool places. The downside is some of those really cool places are really far away from home. That’s exactly Read more…
The Detroit Draft Divas recently invaded Sherwood Brewing. Now truth be told, every time I think of Sherwood, I picture a forest and a lot of green and maybe a fair maiden with a bow and arrow. Maybe it’s my love of Robin Hood. Maybe I’m just weird. It could Read more…
