Tickets For Summer Beer Festival @ Original Gravity

May 24, 2009

That’s right, The Michigan Brewers Guild’s Summer Beer Festival is only 2 months away and you should think about getting tickets NOW! Why? Well it is cheaper to do so ahead of time and you never know when this event will sell out. The easiest way to get tickets is to visit your local brewery in my case that would be Original Gravity. Brad confirmed that they are selling tickets there but you must pay for the them in cash.

This is a great event and if you love beer and live in SE Michigan or NW Ohio and haven’t been here yet you are missing out. The breweries bring out their A game for this event. Not only do they feature their usual great tasting beers but they brew batches (some are barrel aged, Hurray!)  just for this event. Some of the best beer I have ever tasted has been at the MBG’s festivals. Instead of gong Popeil on this event I’ll let Michigan Brewers Guild sell it to you. Here are the event details from MBG’s website.
