I appreciate the offer, but the concern is more about having to offload my daughter on someone while I'm out! :)

I'm pretty sure I'll find a way to make it hapen, so I'll be sure to say hello.

Excellent review! Like lagerale, I've only tried the Blonde, and wasn't too thrilled with it. This review has sold me, and I'll be stopping in. Great to read that they do growlers. I wish the Merchant Ale House did likewise.

I'll second the Great Lakes Devil's Pale Ale.

I recently had a couple pints of Rickard's White and was quite pleasantly surprised. I haven't tried it in bottles, so I can't comment on that.
