    Looks like there will be three firkins of Harvest Ale tapped throughout the day. First one is at noon and is a double dry-hopped version with Cascade hops.

    Regular ole Harvest Ale is drinking mighty fine.

    Thanks, and an even bigger thanks to Shorts for throwing parties that have special beers and not just charging people to come and drink their normal board beers like founders. It is obvious why you guys are the best brewery in Michigan.

    It's not technically a cover charge since you get a pint glass and your first pour for free. That's at or close to your $10 entry.

    But yes, shorts owns at throwing parties. Can't wait for 11th anny.
