It's Thursday. It's a drinking thread.

It's Thursday, and it is basically summer, so it is perfectly acceptable for a drinking thread. So, let's have it -- what's on tap? I'm hanging at a local brewery having a couple cold ones. Currently "Mosaic Moproblems IPA". Cheers!

Drinking some shitty wine that my wife had. Drinking intended specifically for intoxication. I might as well be drinking rubbing alcohol.

Great new spot in Ann Arbor. Not the best food, but solid. Great small batch brews though and great neighborhood atmosphere

M-43, followed by a bottle of Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon. If I'm still awake, I'll have some Coke Zero Traverse City Whisky Company Bourbon. Why yes, there is no work tomorrow.

I had the M-43 tonight. Stopped by Bells earlier today. Wish they did some of the trendier beers. Larry would make a killer NE IPA if he gave a fuck.

Mosaic Pale from Lynnwood. Deschuetes had a welcome to NC thing at the local bar/bottleshop thingy we have here. I had a fresh squeezed and then remembered Deschuetes was an AB-InBev acquisition. Switched back to the local stuff ASAP.

Deschuetes was one of my favs. I'll probably still buy the Black Butte Reserve when and if I see it. I won't be buying Abyss anymore however. It has really gone downhill the last few years, seems like they're not aging it as long.

So actual real question. I'm returning to west Michigan for the first time in a few years for a family reunion this week. Anyone have hot takes on newer breweries in GR / Kalamazoo / TC areas, because that's where I'll be? I used to live in Kazoo and work within walking distance from Bells and I've been to Founders and Vivant several times. I know New Holland well. What's new and spectacular?

Look up the beer city runner in Grand Rapids. It's a fairly inexpensive shuttle that goes between most of the major breweries. From that you can hit smaller but great ones you may have missed: creston, hideout, the mitten (and across the street long road distillery), etc.

I stopped off at Old Nation Brewing on the way home from visiting my dad in Ann Arbor and had a Boxer, and picked up a 4 pack of Green Stone. If you dig IPAs then you should be paying attention to what they've been doing. Really solid n.e. ipa's.

Dogfish Head Seaquench Ale. It has an interesting flavor, but it's very good. It's brewed with lime peel, black limes, and sea salt. It is sort of sweet, but it is definitely worth a try!
