I’ve got two more videos here from the Bonteboktoberfest at Binder Park Zoo.  These come from what turned out to be one of our favorite breweries at this event, Olde Peninsula. We weren’t sure what to expect, but with a name like Stout Chokula, how could we stay away.  I gave that a try, while The Hopster had a sample of their Pumpkin Ale.  Check them out.

So The Hopster and I found a great event at Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek.  Their Bonteboktoberfest celebration is a fun experience that combines a trip to the zoo and drinking lots of great beers.they close down the park at let you roam around while sampling brews from a number of great Michigan breweries.  Here we have the first two videos from this series, the Funky Monky from B. Nektar Meadery (not technically a beer I know) and the Burly from North Peak Brewing Company.  Enjoy.

Now I know many of you have been waiting with bated breath to hear more about the intriguing new brew from Unity Vibration.  We didn’t want to disappoint you, so we got the whole gang at the Michigan Brewers Guild Summer Beer Festival to give it a try and share our thoughts.  We’ve got Stewart Recommends to tell you what it tastes like, The Hopster to tell you when would be the best time to be seen drinking it, and a Cryptic Review to let you know how this particular brew _feels_.  So check them out and stay tuned for some more reviews, AND Interviews with some new brewers and some familiar faces to This Week in Beer from the Beerfest.

Cryptic Review

Hey everyone, glad you made it back.  I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying the nice weather here.  It is perfect for stepping out on the porch and enjoying a fine beer.  This week I have a great selection from Dark Horse Brewery, their Sapient Trip Ale.  Enjoy.

It is almost unprecidented isn’t it? A post that is both on time(ish) AND timely? Weird right?  Well I figured that since spring is in full swing and the weather can is pushing hot, it is probably time to shelve the rest of the Winter Beerfest videos (I’ll put them in the members gallery).  So to ring in the turn of the seasons and as a special Cinco de Mayo review, I will bring you a favorite of the Most Interesting Man in the World* himself. Here is my review of Dos Equis Lager.
