Oh man! You are very lucky. It's actually probably a good thing that I don't live so close to Founders, cause I'd surely spend way too much time and money there. I love their brews, though. The porter and Centennial IPA are both great. I also love their imperial stout; I believe it's a winter seasonal.

Michigan actually has some of the best craft brewers in the country.

It's my favorite go-to beer. Nice deep flavor for an ale. Highly recommended if you haven't tried it.

Good call on Founder's by the way... It's one of my boyfriend's favorites and very yummy.

I did a search for it, and it doesn't look like it's available here :/

Starting to get a little brisk here in the northeast....though I would start my weekend off with a couple of "Harpoon Chocolate Stout"



It's a very nice

^ Ooo, very nice.



I just picked up a bottle of Jolly Pumpkin's Noel de Calabaza. One of my absolute favorite Christmastime seasonals. It's a nicely spiced Beligan-style ale. This one's pretty expensive, so I only get one every December. I'm saving this bottle for an upcoming Christmas get-together.
