2012 Summer Beer Festival Breweries / Beers
Here is the COMPLETE list of participating breweries for the upcoming Summer Beer Festival, and the beers they are planning to bring. You'll notice that many of the breweries have a "15th Anniversary Ale" listed as one of their beers... this is a recipe that we suggested for all the breweries to brew in celebration of the 15th Anniversary of the Brewers Guild AND the Summer Festival. The beer was listed as a 'Strong Pale Ale' but it is more like a Double IPA! Hopefully you will enjoy tasting the different characteristics that each brewery contributed to the base recipe. We have a record 555 different Michigan beers for you to sample this year!!
