Michigan brewery growth is almost running the same pace as the Michigan wine industry. New brewpubs are showing up all along the west coast of Michigan. These microbreweries are producing specialty beers that are becoming very popular among the Michigan beer crowd.

On our recent trip to the Traverse Bay area we noticed several areas that were growing hops. I had never seen hops growing and Sue and I were surprised at the height the vines grow. Many of the vines are 18'-20'tall and are actually a beautiful plant that seem to do well in the Traverse Bay area.

This isn't your fathers beer! A good Michigan brewer produces a good Michigan microbrew in several styles and flavors. You'll find the standard ale's and stouts but the new flavored brews are really becoming the most poular.

It's good to see these brewers using the local ingredients as much as they can.

They are fun, a little crazy ... but all in a good way.

What's beer without a festival? Beer festivals are becoming year-round events. The weather doesn't seem to be a factor for attendees ... Of course after a few brewski's who cares about the weather:). You'll need a place to stay so here are some of the best travel deals.

You'll find Festival information on most of the sites below.

So, when traveling along the Lake Michigan shoreline be sure and check out the local brewery. I think you'l be pleasantly surprised at the quality of the beer and fun being had by those that produce them.
