DAY ONE IS AROUND THE CORNER!!!

  Getting ready for the first day of the eight day journey through Michigan beer. We are all very excited and ready to go. We had the chance to spend this past Saturday at the Michigan beer fest. I can't tell you in words how great this was. Over 5000 people enjoying local beer. The pride that i seen at this event was something I have never seen before. This made me so proud to be a part of this great great state. We also got to sit down with some great people to get some awesome interviews. So thanks to all the people that have shared the excitement of this trip. Tomorrow at noon we will be having some lunch at the Hopcat brewery in Grand Rapids. This will mark the start of this great trip. If anybody is around come out and have a beer with us. We will also be ending this trip at Founders also in GR on March 8th around 9pm. We really look forward to meeting everybody and celebrating Michigan for eight days. Check back each day for day by days updates.
