Michigan, The Great Beer State
Sorry it’s been a while since my last post. Kevin and I have been on an 11 day brewery tour of Michigan for our summer vacation.
Did you know that there are over 66 craft breweries in the state?
In all we visited twenty three Michigan microbreweries and sampled over 150 different beers (most of the time we split 5 oz samples of each so that we wouldn’t overdo it!)
Our trip was timely considering that the Michigan Legislature recently passed H.R. 140 designating July as Michigan Craft Beer Month.
In honor of Michigan Craft Beer month (and leading up to the 10th anniversary of the Michigan Summer Beer Festival) I’ll be posting some of the highlights of our trip, including one phantom brewery which we were told existed but we were never able to find.
