    Does anyone know about this beer?

    I have read that it is made specifically for the Grand Hotel in Mackinaw Island...Is this true? Is it just their regular Amber beer with a different label?

    My in-laws just returned from the island and brought me back a couple bottles of this and I had never heard of it before...there are not a lot of reviews for it on here...
