It's Name Your Favorite Craft Beer Thursday! 

FIST CITY

By Loretta Lynn Brewing???

[sowilson]

Rush River Amber Ale (their IPA is good too if you like IPA's).

[scottyeagle93]

Schells chimney sweep (if you want to call that craft)

[Robert Zimmerman]

Bell's Two Hearted Ale.

Interesting projected playoff bracket on the main page:

Third Street Brewing Hop Lift

I second Robert Zimmerman's Belle's Two Hearted Ale. We made a visit to the brewery in Kalamazoo a couple summers ago.

It certainly is.  They put SJU in the Mount Union bracket, which also includes UWO.

Blue Tongue (named after the blue tongued lizard) is an interesting craft beer story.



2003, started by a couple friends.
2005, sold half to small corporate beer company who invested big bucks in the label.
2008, sold it all to Coca Cola.
2013, sold it back to the small corporate which was now the largest corporate beer company in Australia.
2014, shut it the label down.

I bet a lot of the craft beer companies go that route.  As a niche, a nice beer to buy.  As a market saturated corporate beer, it can't compete with the established big brands.  Shame.

So, nothing that I will be able to try when there?

Arbor Brewing Company's Ypsi Gypsy - DUH!

(Actually, I prefer nearly anything from Bell's or New Holland.)

Able First Light IPA - Minneapolis, MN

Jobe Watson, Essendon drug cheat, has handed back the Brownlow Medal (League MVP) for 2012 when the whole team was injecting PED's like they were the Housewives of Orange County in a Botox clinic.  Now the AFL Commission will decide if they will award the medal to the runner up that year, Hawthorn Champion Sam Mitchell, or just leave that record book entry blank.

Oh no my friend.  Gird your loins.  We be a drinkin'.   

Quite possibly the post of the year.
