This year’s Michigan Winter Beer Festival has been expanded to 2 days this year, Feb. 27 and 28.
To mark the occasion and to help celebrate its 10th anniversary, we decided to raid Larry’s secret stash.
Friday’s lineup will feature some pretty rare vintages along with some other beers that haven’t been tapped in quite some time. Oh, and we threw in some Hopslam and Winter White to top it off.
On Saturday, we’ll be pouring 19 different draughts including some other pretty rare releases as well. Take a look below and we’ll see you at Fifth Third Ballpark!
For those in the Grand Rapids area or coming into town to start celebrating early, we also have 9 different events scheduled for Grand Rapids Beer Week, concluding with our annual a16 beer tap takeover at The Meanwhile (see photo from last year, at right) on Feb. 27. Take a look.
