New Holland Brew (Photo credit: lincolnblues)As we roll into July, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that this is the month that we celebrate, not only our countries independence, but our rich culture of Michigan craft beer. Michigan stands at #5 if the country in number of Breweries (including brewpubs). We are “The Great Beer State,” and our legislature officially declared July to be Michigan Craft Beer Month. “How do I celebrate?” you may ask. It is easy, but first I have to point out that there is kind of an obvious answer to that question. So besides the obvious (drink Michigan Beer), you can check out your local beer bar. Any proud Michigan bar will be featuring a wide selection of Michigan-made brews. If you are in the Lansing area, you have plenty of choices. Crunchy’s, Reno’s, and Hopcat all feature great selections of Michigan Beers. Soup Spon Cafe is also one of my favorites, and there are so many more. If you would prefer something closer to the source, Eagle Monk and Bad Brewing Company are a couple of local area brewpubs. There are so many breweries here in Michigan that you can hardly throw a Stone in this state without hitting a source for Michigan Beer.
