Brew Blog: Thom Bomb Brewery
Okay, so this isn’t actually a stop on our brew tour, but it’s something I have to share. Last year, Tom attempted to brew his own beer for the first time. He enjoyed the process and actually ended up making three different batches. I think the first batch may be all gone now, but he…

Brew Blog: Brewery Vivant
A couple of weeks ago we found ourselves headed toward Eastown and decided it would be a good chance to check out Brewery Vivant. A former funeral home and chapel, the building is certainly unique for a brewery. They offer some unique Belgian inspired beers and the company is committed to sustainability, purchasing many of…

Brew Blog: Odd Side Ales
Tom and I made our second stop on our Brew Tour this past Sunday, on our way up to Montague where we were meeting some friends at a cabin for New Year’s. We were going to make a pit stop in Spring Lake at the Old Boys’ Brew House, but we missed our turn. Instead…

The Best of 2012
As the year comes to a close, I wanted to take a few minutes to remember some of the things we did and things that happened in 2012. I feel like it was a whirlwind of a year, but here’s a brief memoir of what I can remember from the activities done, people visited and…

Brew Blog: The Mitten Brewing Company
Today, we made our first stop in our West Michigan Brew Tour. It was already getting late on a Friday evening, so we decided to go someplace close to home. The Mitten Brewing Co. is a small place off of Leonard St. in Grand Rapids, with a baseball (mitt) theme. It was pretty crowded, but…
