One of the great things about the festivals that the Michigan Brewers Guild puts on, is the availability of representatives from your favorite breweries. We had just that experience at the Summer Beer Festival when Paul was able to have a conversation with Tim Suprise, the big man in charge of Arcadia Brewing Company. Also, see if you can find @MichiganBrew when he snapped this picture

Michigan does not suffer from a lack of breweries. Living in the Lansing are, I am about a.5 hours away from more than a dozen great breweries. Unfortunatly, not everyone is so lucky, especially our friends from north of the Mackinaw Bridge. But just because they don’t have the concentration of great breweries we enjoy down here, does not mean that they are out of luck for getting great beers. In fact they get to play host to one of the Michigan Brewers Guild’s four annual festivals.
On September 10th, in Marquette’s Mattson Lower Harbor Park MBG will be holding its 3rd annual U.P. Fall Beer Fest. The festival starts at 1PM (noon for Guild Enthusiast members) and runs until 6pm. Hopefully enough time to samplesome of the more than 200 different local beers that will be available. So if you live up north and couldn’t make the trek down to any of the other festivals, or live under the bridge and want to make a journey northward, I recommend you check it out.

I’m glad you asked, because I didn’t know either. But a quick look at the wikipedia page tells me two things, first, that “Kombuchais a is an effervescent tea-based beverage that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal purposes,” and second, that the Image they choose is downright frightening. Why am I talking about this strange and intriguing beverage? Because Michigan’s own Unity Vibration Living Kombucha Tea has created a Kombucha Beer. And if that isn’t exciting enough, it will be available at the Michigan Brewers Guild Summer Beerfest in Ypsilanti this coming weekend. I will tell you this, I am very excited to give this a try. If you’d like some more information, I have the full Press Release after the break.
