    There’s a really solid local brewery around me called Sibling Revelry.

    It’s a shame because that name just....really doesn’t roll off the tongue. Very good brewery though.

    I like Hoof Hearted.

    Had a great time when I was there. Great staff and beer. A bit too modern feel but once I was having a beer and talking with the bar tender I did not really notice.

    They are into metal video games and cartoons so the graphics and names work for them. I’m a kid at heart so I’m ok with it. If the beer was bad I would just keep walking.

    Off the top of my head I can’t think of many I love or hate.

    Enjoy

    I have to do a better job keeping you up to date on West Michigan happenings. :wink: Gonzo's 'merged' with Saugatuck Brewing, and I believe it is now going to be called Saugatuck BC - Kalamazoo. I'll verify the legal proceedings are complete and then request a name change here on BA.

    Bought this the last time I was in Portland: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/42809/368569/

    Yep, Brother Ass Brewing. Stupid.

    And yes, everyone knows about these guys: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/27870/

    Not terribly weird, but what about their strange cousin: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/35764/

    This one is near my house; I know Jersey is a weird place, but still: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29850/

    This one is more of a day trip, but still within driving distance, and they do some weird stuff: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/34667/

    Great name: Lion Bridge, Cedar Rapids. Located in the Czech Village area, just down the street from the Bridge of Lions. The lion is featured on the Bohemian coat of arms and represents bravery, valor, and strength.

    Hoof Hearted needs to brew a beer called "Ice Melted" and finish the joke.

    They could throw in "Fargin Iceholes" and "Cork Suckers" as well.

    I haven't been there yet (I think the take-over occurred back in the spring) and can't find anything definitive about Gonzo's beers, but it looks like it will be all Saugatuck beers. Gonzo's Vanilla Porter was popular and would have been a recipe that Saugatuck would have wanted, but I don't see it listed on their website.
