Winter Beer Fest Releases Beer List
February 21, 2009
Michigan Brewer Guild has released the beer list for their Winter Beer Fest. There are a lot of beers on this list so my plan is to figure out what I want to drink ahead of time and stick to those beers. Of course the list can change because sometimes a buzz builds about certain beers. Then there are recommendations from friends that always steer me off my list.
Enough about me and my strategy here is the list. I added a link to buses to the end of the list. If you are going to enjoy all those beers you may want to think about taking a bus.

I won’t be able to make it to GR for the fest, but could you please have a Schmohz “Kiss My Scottish Arse” for me? Scotch ale is my favorite style, and that’s a great one. Thanks!
