    As a Bay City resident, I'm obviously pumped!

    Do you think Bay City has the clientele to support JP?

    I think so. We have 2 breweries here right now and they both seem to do fairly well. One of them just opened up their brand new facility/taproom yesterday.

    Sorry...I should have included the sarcastic smiley face :wink:.

    Born and raised in Bay City, we more than have the clientele to support another establishment. They are always going to be competing with the Bell Bar patrons of town (which I love and am very fond of), but hopefully with continued Downtown development, young people will start choosing to stay. I think it will do very well in summer and as long as they can stay relevant in the winter, they will succeed. Good for them and I look forward to going there my net visit home.

    We will have to meet up for a beer there when you are in town.

    Whatever happened with the rumored sale? Did they pull that back?

    Man I'm never going to find the post.. Swear I'm not crazy though.

    Was maybe a year or so ago... possibly earlier this year. There was a post on either Probrewer or the Brewers Association forums where a brewery in Michigan that pretty closely resembled JP's was looking to sell.

    As a Bay City resident born and raised I am very excited for North Peak/JP to move into town! And it's an added bonus that it'll be right across from the candy store. Have a few beers, go get some chocolate...perfect combo!
    I think it will be the perfect compliment to having Tri-City brewing in town too!
    Cheers!

    Is the pope catholic?!? The residents of Bay City do two things, drink and fish! JP should do well.
