There are many types of "artist" in this area, but the paint on canvas are the only ones ever recognized. If you do not put paint on canvas in Monroe, you are not considered an “artist”.

]]> Comment on Day #5 - Short’s Brewing Company by Erich http://www.blogsmonroe.com/shopmonroe/2007/07/26/day-5-shorts-brewing-company/#comment-790 Erich Tue, 13 Nov 2007 00:59:17 +0000 http://www.blogsmonroe.com/shopmonroe/?p=43#comment-790 Can't help but toss my two-cents worth in here! A buddy of mine owned Cafe Bellaire, and built the Bellaire Inn next door to it 7 or 8 years ago. I moved up there to help get things going and was a regular @ Short's Brewery when they finally got to open their doors for business. (There was quite some difficulty with the zoning questions as there is a church a few blocks away that objected to utilizing God-given hops and malts to make beverages.) Weekends are liveliest there during the summer as Joe and crew have bands and solo musicians of all sorts come to entertain the crowds, and bands like Steppin' In It bring even larger crowds with them from the Lansing area. Although the Chocolate Wheat was/is my favorite Short's brew I absolutely love the alternative name for their higher-alcohol-content Soft Parade: "Ye Olde Leg Spreader"...;-) Can’t help but toss my two-cents worth in here!

It is sad that MI Beer Month only comes around once a year. Maybe we need a MI beer season? The best result of the night was that I feel like Monroe has a beer community now.
