Kevin,we have occasionally shared a little bar time at the 129 and talk usually warped around to beer (i’m glad I most often had something in front of me from around the Great Lakes ) I didn’t realize I had such an eloquent bar mate (probably to late in the evening,or afternoon) anyway, nice article in the news supporting Michigan .

Keep preaching the gospel of Michigan beer to all the local businesses in town – bars, liquor stores, restaurants, etc.

In time, you will win over a few of them – especially if you can show them increased profits.

BTW, it took Bell’s pulling out of Chicago to get our local liquor store (in Whiting IN) to finally carry MI craft beer. I told him if he started carrying “Bells”, I would put the word out on Chicago beer forums and he would get a lot more business.

Now we are trying to get him to carry Dark Horse and Founders!!!

Awesome an army of flying monkeys at your disposal, how can you fail to find MI beer? “Fly my pretties, fly” I guess the real quote from WofO was “fly,fly,fly” but I prefer the myth.

Yes Freddy, those beers aren’t good enough for me. I have to admit, I drank Coors Light in Las Vegas. But a lot of people do things they are ashamed of in Vegas.

HopCat is exactly the kind of beer bar I’m wanting in Monroe. Grand Rapids is a great city. I wish the Hideout was walking distance from my house.

I can’t agree with you more! We are lucky here in Grand Rapids to have several brewery’s located here, and lots of bars that sell these local beers.
One of the newer ones is the HopCat, which has 20-25 different Michigan beers on tap.
Keep up the good work.

What, Coors Light and Bud Light aren’t good enough for ya?

Excellent post and argument. Hopefully it won’t fall on deaf ears.
