MI Brewer’s Guild Winter Beer Festival: Beer List

February 19, 2008

The list of beer being served at the MBG Winter Beer Fest was announced last week. Why is this information important? Game-planning, you need to know ahead of time the beer you must taste. Here is my plan; you get 12 initial tastes, 8 of them will be picked out ahead of time and 4 will be left for game day decisions. Game day decisions are for what your taste-buds want to taste on that day and for the beer that starts to gather a buzz about it. My #1 must have this year is Shorts Rich’ Rye Ice.

Here’s a list of breweries and what they are serving.
