Michigan Brewer’s Guild Summer Beer Festival

July 22, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Join us the MBG Summer Beer Festival!

Here’s what we’ll have on tap Saturday:

Dune Rail: American Blonde Ale

As a style, American Blonde Ales are less bitter than the typical American Pale Ale.  This refreshing beer, with restrained hop aroma, lets the fine German malts take the stage for a round.

ABV:4%  IBU-11

Gluten for Punishment: German Style Wheat Ale

Traditionally, this German style of wheat beer was the only kind of beer brewers were allowed to brew in Bavaria during the summer, prior to refrigeration, as the special yeast used is more heat tolerant. With almost half of the grain in the recipe being malted wheat, there is an unmistakable bread-y flavor that is complimented perfectly by the tart and fruity notes that linger together.

ABV:5.5%  IBU-15

Alphonse:Session Rye IPA

Low in alcohol but big in hop flavor and aroma.  We used 100% Simcoe hops in this refreshing IPA which give it a piney/citrusy nose.  Hops dominate the flavor as well with just a hint of rye spice in the finish

ABV:4.3%  IBU-45

Collin’s Full Size: Imperial IPA   

A full frontal assault of citra hop aroma, this beer is a true homage to big IPA lovers past and present.  So hoppy it may make other IPAs taste like water.  Consider yourself warned.

ABV: 10%  IBU-55

Screeching Sands: Agave Amber

Made as a loving tribute to the famous cactus, this strong hoppy amber ale blends German malts, blue agave syrup, and American hops.

ABV: 8.2%  IBU-35

Smoke Follows the Jive Ass: Smoked Porter 

A proper blast of smoky flavor from German beechwood-smoked malt tempered with an array of English roasted malts. The hop bitterness blends with the aggressive smokey flavor and itself lends to the roasty malt character

ABV:5.5%  IBU-45
