Hey now Derek..........any more of those remarks and they'll be no bed time story for you in the hotel room? Got it?
Looking forward to the fest, and I might even throw you $2.87 for gas Derek!

Did anyone go?, reviews PLEEZE! the line-up of beers looked absolutely AWESOME, I've added a note in my calendar for next year, I'll be making the voyage...
Bored Silly? Check out my blog... http://geeksjournal.blogspot.com
MDS, Steelbackguy and I went down.
They had more people than they anticipated... the tent was literally packed... barely room to move.
There's some reviews & links to pics here:

There were some CRAZY-BIG brews, some of which were a little too boozy. We managed to pace ourselves & even have a couple more brews in the evening (and then did some brewpub hopping on the way home Sunday). There were a few people that over endulged though!
They certainly had some really awesome brews. I was really impressed with the whole Michigan brewing scene! (can't wait to get down again).

A quick count, I think there's 213 brews. So filling two days will be easy! (too easy).
