I was kind of shocked more Michigan brewers didn’t show up on this list. But, taking into account that this is a world wide competition, I’m glad we had some representation.

Bells Porter and D’Mead’s Crusader are awesome beers. I have had some beers from Redwood, I haven’t checked out their Mile. I’ll have to check it out ASAP! Congrats guys!
