Michigan Brewers Guild Summer Beer Festival

Is anyone hitting up the beer festival this weekend in Ypsi? I'll be taking off a little early from work tomorrow to head over to it with some friends. I've never been to it before, but have heard it's really cool.

That looks like a pretty good time! Founders & New Holland appear to be the headliners. Both are pretty good breweries, IMO, but it's a shame they couldn't get Bells there. Bells is by far my favorite MI brewery. Still, that is a LOT of breweries gathering in one place. I've never heard of or tried stuff from most of them, so it would be pretty cool to go sample all that beer!

Have fun, and let us know what you think!

Bell's is great! Located right in Kalamazoo...There was plenty of Oberon consumed during my week up at my family's cottage on Gull Lake. I wanted to visit Bell's but didn't have time. They sell Oberon on tap at the Fev in Oberlin...great little hippy eatery with the best tater tots in the world!
