Schmohz is another one of the small, but charming and soulful brewing operations in Michigan. Open since 2004, they have been making solid beer and were an important part of Grand Rapids winning the title "Beer City USA" this year. We really like Chas, and we are excited to feature him and his business on the show.

Also on this week's show will be some live footage from Retailer Days and the Tap Takeovers at Crunchy's & Beggar's Banquet, two events making up the inaugural Lansing Beer Week. We were proud to help create and sponsor this week-long celebration of the craft beer culture in Lansing, so we hope enjoy this and future footage from it.

Finally, we will be sharing a few minutes from our visit to Darkhorse Brewery for their "Chicken Wing Thing", an event celebrating beer and, yes, chicken wings.

We will also be stopping by the Nuthouse Sports Grill in Lansing to see what they're up to this summer. Originally being pretty much a mega-beer sports bar, they have put a much bigger emphasis on having Michigan and other craft beers on tap in the last couple years. In addition to our two interviews, we will be showing footage from Michigan Bier Celebration held recently in Frankenmuth.
