    For those of you in the Midwest that travel to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I'm happy to share that Brickside Brewing, located at the end of historic US 41 in Copper Harbor will be open and pouring beer on June 9th! http://www.bricksidebrewery.com/, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Brickside-Brewery/220986671247109
    Those of you that don't make it this far north, it's just another reason to make the trek! 4 pretty solid brew pubs within 40 miles of one another, all on the beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula surrounded by Lake Superior! If anyone makes it up this way for a pint at Brickside, BM me, I live about 20 minutes away and would love to share a pint and some local stories.

    I really need to take a long weekend and hit up all of the brewpubs in the Keweenaw peninsula...hopefully in August some time. I've never been up that way, and shame on me!

    Along the same lines, Ore Dock Brewing just opened in Marquette on Thursday. I took a drive up there Saturday and the beers were pretty tasty - a 6.8% "belgian pale ale", a big saison, a porter, an IPA, and a 4.5% brown ale.

    Good looking out man! Where is that located? Are they the larger production/brewpub facility I was hearing about? A big saison sounds awesome to me, I'm going to have to make it down there some night to try out their beers.
    If you head up here this August, hit me up man!

    They're right downtown, a few blocks from The Vierling. There was another project, U.P. Brewing Company, which is I believe what you're thinking of. I think that's fizzled out, unfortunately. This place has a 10bbl and a 1bbl pilot system and they do plan on distributing eventually. http://ore-dock.com/

    I helped out with Brickside on Kickstarter and have been following with the email updates. Glad to see they are getting so close. The earliest I would be able to get up there would be in fall, it'd be perfect. Can't wait to fill my growler and see my brick!

    You are correct Josh, U.P. Brewing was what I had in mind. That's too bad that it fizzled out, it sounded like it was going to be quite the operation. Lack of capital possibly?

    We will be having a Bell's tap takeover here at Fitzgerald's in Eagle River the first Thursday of September if you are coming around that time. We will have 2010 Expo and Third Coast, Oracle, Black Note and a yet to be determined beer on tap. Hit me up if you are planning on heading up around that time.
