One Week to Prepare: Winter Beer Fest 2009

For all you beer enthusiasts out there, you know there is nothing better than a growler filled with your favorite locally brewed beer. Or if your in the mood for an after work drink, you may choose just a pint. Either way, there's always something special about getting a beer not sold by Clydesdale horses or a scenic beach scene with a strategically placed beer bottle. No, there's just something great about a local brew that brings your mind to a state of nirvana.

So what's all the hype about local brews? Glad you asked. This year's 4th Annual Winter Best Fest will be hitting the west side on Saturday, February 28th in Comstock Park. Featuring well over 100 different brews, you're bound to find a beer or two that will satisfy your malty pallet. The festival will be featuring beers from many Michigan Brewery's including:
Detroit Beer Company
Hopcat
Kuhnhenn Brewing Company
Mount Pleasant Brewing Company
Founders Brewing Company and many more.

So now your saying, "Okay Terese, this sounds like a great time but how the hell am I gonna find a driver to take me there cause I'm sure as hell not gonna be the one volunteering to drive to this one". No worries and settle down! Check with your local breweries and see what rides their offering. Hopcat in Grand Rapids is getting a bus together for $15 a person ($10 for DRAFT Club members) and check out Michigan Beer Buzz to hop on other buses from both the east and west sides of the state. Have fun and get their safe.

So the moral of the story is go out, have a great time, and support your favorite local brews. Enjoy what great things Michigan has to offer like beer. Okay the great lakes are pretty cool too.
