Heading up to Northern Michigan - Mackinaw Brewing Company...Right Brain Brewing...psyched about the Jolly Pumpkin location and maybe Big Buck. Any suggestions? recommendations?

I've got a friend working for Short's be sure to stop by there. I've enjoyed the vast majority of the beers I've had out of that state.

Good point. I really haven't had any bad beer from MI; some of it, I just wouldn't buy another pint. The only place I've been to that wasn't worth the time was Saugatuk brewing; and they may have changed that, but it was pretty week when I went about a year ago. Everything else, including the places I had never heard of have been great! You're in for a great treat.JOLLY PUMPKIN!!

I will third Shorts....I just had a Bellaire Brown from them that I brought back when I went back to the Midwest....I liked it better than Moose Drool which was my previous favorite brown ale.
