I plan to hit up the casino in New Buffalo for the night. We are having lunch at Bells Eccentric Cafe. Any special beers I need to be on the lookout for locally or at the cafe?
Check out Barney's and the Pharmacy in NB. May have the Oracle left. Plenty of good beers to lighten your wallet.
Barney's and the pharmacy in NB are okay, but if you're going to Kzoo anyway, you'll find a better selection at Mega Bev or Drake Party Center. Bell's General Store is a must-stop just because you're there. As for things to look for, I think Oracle is the only recent release that is getting a focused demand. Look at anything from Short's that is a style that you like because that brewery is a Michigan-only distro, and everything they do is good.
The Kalamazoo Beer Exchange is an awesome craft beer bar a few blocks away from Bell's. However, with so many new "small town" brewerys in the area, it'd be tough not to stop in and support the local craft scene
Perrin just released 4 packs of Lil Griz, a bourbon barrel aged brown ale that is extremely smooth. I recommend picking some up
