Michigan Winterfest!

I don't believe they did last year. In fact, Kuhnhenn had a relatively short line the few times I visited. Was very easy to get KRE, BB4D, and Creme Brûlée.

 

they did in detroit. i live literally 5 minutes from the brewery. my wife loves their beer. i think its solid. we stop in occasionally. i'm pissed i missed their sour in detroit.

 

Which one was the sour? I want to say I had most/all of what they had on, but don't remember that?

 

Sour Pumpkin for Enthusiast hour. Best beer they had there.

 

Their line really was short, at least in the beginning of the fest. I got in and had a raspberry eisbock as my first beer and I don't think there were more than three people in line ahead of me.

 

Man, that seems like an odd combination (unless Pumpkin is used like it is in Jolly Pumpkin - as part of the name, not a flavor). But I'd certainly have tried it; if there is one good pumpkin beer, MAYBE Kuhnhenn makes it.

 

I agree it was pretty easy to get kuhnhenns beers, it got a little busy throughout the day but no more then a 5 minute wait, I had multiple pours of bb4d, kre, and michigan mud which was awesome, really wished they had bbbw though.

 

Worse than Holistic Healing?

 

They will at WBF.

WOW...I need to try these two

 

Greenbush ALWAYS brings it in my opinion. love their beer.

 

Some of their beers last year at wmbf where infected, hopefully they have sorted everything out.

 

Barrel Aged IPAs seem to be huge this year.

 

Best beer anyone had there IMO. It was only available during Enthusiast Hour, but on Saturday it didn't even last the whole hour.

 

I'm glad to see Bell's is bringing the BBA version of Black Note.

 

Strange, I got multiple pours during and well after the enthusiast hour. My last pour had to be a good hour (post enthusiast hour) into the fest as my non-brewer guild member friends had some.... cuz I told those f'ers to git sum dat.

No question the best beer of the festival.

 

Nice, maybe they had another keg to tap? Or maybe they lied to my group so that we wouldn't come back for thirds.

 

Entirely possible... on both accounts.

 

Call me crazy, but haven't had much luck with Greenbush BA stuff. Or maybe I am just spoiled by the other breweries doing it so damn well.
