It is even more disappointing because there are so many good IPAs available- just a letdown.

Agree. I quit drinking it after 4 and I was hell bent on drowning my sorrows.

I know you weren't asking me, but I was just there as well and I was actually more impressed with the distilling they are doing than the brewing. Other than Mad Hatter and Saison I'm really not a huge fan of their brews, but the rum they are making is excellent straight with some ice. Almost Bourbon like.

I did like the Saison and the IPA is really drinkable (low alcohol for an IPA). Beyond that, the Poet Oatmeal Stout is pretty good. The Charkoota Rye is crazy- tastes like bbq pork. I bought 3 bottles to experiment with for cooking.

It's Friday, I just completed the busiest 3 weeks of my life, and my wife is out of town. It is weekend's like this that I am glad Michigan is putting out the best beer in the world. I just poured a Founder's Double Trouble. Let the weekend begin.

Went to Shorts brewery in belaire last night. Very cool place. Sampled almost all of the twenty or so beers on tap.
