Mark, Jimmy & Jeff make a stop in Long Island at one of the most award-winning breweries in the US, where the beer is next to the food... and IN the food! Enjoy.
Video: Erin's MISBF Food Review
Hey Guys! When we stopped by the Michigan Summer Beef Festival a few weeks ago, we were pleasantly surprised by the food choices. Jambalaya. Local cheeses. Pulled pork. Tamales. Dang -- they may have to put "Food" in the title next year. Here is Erin, a festival-goer who we ate with. She fills us in on the food and and her favorite brews.

Video: Short's ISP
Hey Guys! Here's a tidbit from the Michigan Brewer's Festival in Ypsi last month. Here, John from Short's Brewing Company convinces LoudGuy to spend one of his precious tokens on a India Spruce Pilsner. Excellent initial hit, with a fantastic shout-out to the north woods. A token well spent, my friends.
Soo Brewing Company. Brand new! (well, like 4 months)
Greetings McGlass-ers!
Communicator Guy here. Visiting my folks this week waaaaaay up here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and was very pleasantly surprised to find Soo Brewing Company, brand new as of late March 2011, gracing a previously unoccupied space on the main drag of Sault Ste. Marie MI.
True Dat. Fresh Beer is the Best Beer.
Ray Bauer's longtime dream of opening a brewery presented itself a few years ago, and in 2010 he took his experience as an avid homebrewer and began jumping through the legal hoops required to open his own brewery. On today's visit he had 4 fresh beers on, the Soo Brew, a lovely Hefeweitzen, a citrusy IPA and a wonderfully roasty stout. And in his fermentors are 3 different recipes that will be fresh soon. And the community is responding - his very first week, he sold out of beer!
Brewmaster and Owner, Ray Bauer.
The Communicator Guy, and The Dad of Communicator Guy. Cheers!
Craft beer, folks- it's regenerating communities, providing jobs, and changing how people feel about what "quality beer" is. And chances are, it's right under your nose! Now get to Soo Brewing and try Ray's beer. It's worth it. See you next time!
Good Things A-Brewing in MI
Howdy THHG Folks. Loud Guy Here. Spent the evening at the 14th Annual Michigan Summer Beer Festival with the new Science Guy. Much video to edit and upload later, but here are some picts to wet your appetite. Lots of beer to love here (62 breweries, about 150 beers). The ones that stuck out for us were: Bell's Batch 9000, Arcadia's Shipwreck Porter, Original Gravity's Barrel Aged Bellywasher, Wolverine State's Garden Weasel, Founder's All Day IPA, Short's Bloody Beer, and Dark Horse's Raspberry Ice Black. But you really can't go wrong anywhere at the Festival.
Boston Beer Works
S'up McGlass Peeps! Stat guy here. So the guys dropped me off at Logan here in Boston because I gotta head west, but I had time for one at the airport before takeoff. Boston Beer Work's own, Golden Ale. It's doing me well at the moment! And the bartender, Jeff (his name is my name toooo :) even gets to exert is artistic chops, when they send along the beer with no tap... He gets all creative, and writes his own!! Check the Watermellon Brew.... Whaaaaaat? :)
