Bagger Dave's

Hey Kids!  Loud Guy here. I stopped by a relatively new place in my hometown of Brighton, MI on Friday. Bagger Dave's is a local Michigan chain, with their specialty being really really good burgers. But, their bar is a maniacal romp through local Michigan Beers.  Let me list a few brewers on their menu:

• Arcadia (Battle Creek)
• Atwater (Detroit)
• Bell's (K-zoo)
• Founders (Grand Rapids)
• Frankenmuth 
• Mt. Pleasant
• Short's (NW Lower Peninsula)
• Michigan Brewing Company (Webberville)
• New Holland

Holy selection, Batman, that's a lot of great beers!  If you're in Michigan, I highly recommend a "build your own burger" with the spicy artichoke spread and a sampling of one of these great beers.

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.

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.
