January can be dark and cold in Michigan. But it also brings great promise. And great beer. Bell's Hopslam can be found in 6-packs in just about every grocery store, and some of the lucky bars get a few kegs to tap. It is a great time to be alive in the mitten. (Photo Credit: Greg Pots)
Look for more information on availability HERE: (Jimmy and Mark may even get some in NYC after Jan 20th!)
As the BEERmuda Triangle Tour progressed last summer, we shifted from the first "point" (Greater Detroit) to the second (Western Michigan) with this particular stop. Introducing some of our favorite Michigan Brewers, the good folk of New Holland Brewing; and at the event that evening at Bagger Dave's in Holland, MI, also a fundraiser for DirtyWaterBeer.org!
Our sixth installment of the year-end tradition has a new twist: It's our first BROADCAST LENGTH EPISODE! A solid 22 minutes of Beer Heaven, in this film Mark, Jimmy, Squigs, Joe and AJ take a look back at 2013 through the first offering of our documentary series, BEER-trepreneurs; great people, great stories, and the great places and craft liquids we've sampled this year. Enjoy!

Working their way across the State of Michigan, the Guys make a stop in the home of the Champions of the West in Ann Arbor, and also hang out with Matt and Rene Greff of Arbor Brewing. They also explore a new event technique of bringing out all the burgers at once. Yes, ALL THE BURGERS. Enjoy!
Still on the first point of the Triangle in the Greater Detroit Area, Mark, Jimmy, Joe and AJ stop in to one of the grandaddies of Detroit brewing, the Atwater Brewery. Then, a trip up the road to pair their terrific beers with burgers at the Bagger Daves Shelby location. Cheers!
Mark, Jimmy, Joe and AJ spent a blissful 2 months this summer traveling Michigan and Indiana partnered up with Bagger Dave's Legendary Burger Tavern on the BEERmuda Triangle Tour - 10 stops, 10 Bagger Dave's locations, and 10 Craft Breweries. Here's our stop at their new Downtown Detroit location, and another trip to Bellaire, Michigan to check out Short's Brewing. Woohoo!
For some, getting up before sunrise to head to work is an everyday thing; for The Happy Hour Guys, it most certainly is not. UNLESS - they're on their way to Vermont to visit one of their favorite Bev-Tour destinations in recent memory, The Alchemist Brewery in Waterbury. Certainly one would go a long, long way for HEADY TOPPER, the beer that some have rated as the best Strong IPA on the planet; but incredibly, Mark, Jimmy and Scott found some even more compelling reasons to visit. Enjoy!
