Interview with Bryan Wiggs from Dark Horse Brewing Company
Written by Ryan Ranspach
We ran down the always cool Bryan Wiggs from Darkhorse Brewing Company at the Winter Beer Festival. It was good catching up with him and hearing about how much fun they were having at the festival. It was also great hearing them, as always, graciously thank all the Michigan beer drinkers for their support. This is what Darkhorse has always been about--humility, TLC in their beer, and a 'come as your are' attitude that permeates everything they do.

Interview with Travis Fritts Owner/Brewer of Detroit Beer Company
Written by Barb Starr
I caught up with Travis Fritts Owner/Brewer of Detroit Beer Company at Crunchy's in East Lansing. In this interview, one of that questions we asked Travis is why drink Michigan Beer? He explains that beer is a product that can stand up to aging but beer is meant to be consumed locally and the further away a beer is from it's source, you might get a good beer and you might not. It's best to consume beer close to where it made.
