Grand River Oak Aged Vlaams
Grand River Plowman’s Anniversary Ale

An interesting mix...
Flying Monkeys Smash Bomb Atomic IPA
Mike Duggan #03 German Pilsner
Mike Duggan #13 Weissbier
Amsterdam Boneshaker IPA
Black Oak Ten Bitter Years Anniversary Ale
Mike Duggan #18 Bock
Plowman's Anniversary Ale
Mill Street Schleimhammer Roggenbier
Great Lakes Lackey's Cask
Mike Duggan #17 Czech Pilsener
And close behind...
Dog Stalker April Bock
Mike Duggan #08 London Porter
Amsterdam Dry Dock Porter
Great Lakes Bitter Wife IPA & Miami Weisse...
Actually, I never reviewed the newer versions of the Great Lakes breakfast stout, which would definitely be top 10! I don't know why more people don't brew (and drink) BIG, flavourful stouts?
