Funny reading this the day after I was having some pints of KBC Pick Axe Blonde Ale with Trichyn9ne.
Still 4 feet of snow where we went yesterday, up past pictured rocks.

That's really interesting, with only five employees that's not a big brewery. Larry must figure it's cheaper to produce in the UP than to ship it up over The Bridge...

5 employees and they want to put it in an empty industrial park. I can't understand why they wouldn't pick a better location and attach something crazy to it, like a bar. It would employ many more people and make a lot more money. I don't understand that at all.

Hmmm Lakes Grown Bourbon anyone? Maybe we'll call her Old No. 13

Larry's a pretty shrewd businessman, so I'm sure he's got a plan. He and his two kids just wrestled total ownership of the brewery away from the former partners so now he can do whateverthefuck he wants...

I sure wish they would go back to where they used to buy their hopps.........ever since the first batch came out with the new distributor's hopps, Oberon hasn't tasted good at all. My brother, who lived in the Zoo, practically spat out his first sip....lol.

I have never had a bad Oberon. I didn't think there was such a thing.
