Thanks Michelle.

Stopped by Oak Cafe and they have Bad Ass beer on tap. I tried another one. This one seemed more watered down then the one that I had at the concert.

I switched over to the doppelbock for a little more flavor.

It was the first place that I found Bad Ass and I wanted to give folks a head up.

The Pickle Barrel is, indeed, closed. It is now a BBQ place and we’ve been there once. Didn’t notice that they had anything outstanding on tap. I recently heard, from Mary Halfpenny, that TPB had been a good place for decent beer, and that they used to carry the Michigan Beer Guide there. I can’t believe I didn’t realize that when they were open… We live just a couple miles away.

Thanks Kevin. Great review. Foran’s is a neat place. I have walked by that place dozens of times and did not realize that it was there.

I see that you reference the Pickle Barrel Inn in that post. I always wanted to try that place. Is it still open? I thought I heard that it closed.

First I need to check out Original Gravity.

I love the Blog.

A group of six of us went to the concert friday and after drinking bud light at the pre-concert festivities we all tried the badass beer at the concert. Definitely more flavor than the bud, lots of corn in flavor and aroma,malty sweetness,low hops. 4 out of our 6 liked it.

I went to the concert last night so I had to try a BadAss. I thought it was better than I was expecting. It kind of reminded me of a filtered Oberon.

I had another pleasant find with with Forans/GT on Woodward. You should check it out sometime. They feature Michigan Microbrews:
