2015 Winter Beer Festival - Beer List

The Michigan Brewers Guild is happy to be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Winter Beer Festival  in Grand Rapids. And as fate would have it, just as the festival turns 10 we're also hitting a couple other milestones - this will be our first event to feature more than 100 Michigan breweries, and our first event to offer over 1,000 craft beers (103 and 1,035 respectively, for those of you who are curious). All the more reason to celebrate!

I know it's cold outside but it's time to suck it up and get out there. This should be an excellent event and I hope to see you there.
