@PureMichigan Just love those Pure Michigan Moments, happy Tuesday
@JessieLaHaie Thanks for the heads up!
@PureMichigan Exciting!
@PureMichigan why the disparity in refilling growlers by other brewpubs? Some say its the law and others re-fill. What’s with this practice.
Why are most of the breweries that have recently opened in Michigan licensed as microbreweries rather than brewpubs?
The Iowa Wine & Beer Promotion Board developed an iPhone app that lets you know where every brewery, brewpub, and winery in the state is located. It’s an awesome little app and i would love to have one for Michigan! Is anything like that in the works?
@douglasderda Interesting….
@johnverduin Thanks John for joining in yesterday with your question! Are you a fan of Michigan craft beer?
