Oktoberfest Dinner & Brew Cruise on MI Princess

The Shark Club in Howell, Mi knows how to celebrate a holiday. Instead of doing your typical, Mexican themed celebration for the Cinco de Mayo holiday, the Shark Club decided to celebrate with a Short’s Brewing Company tap takeover. Short’s really knows how to pull out all the stops for their tap takeovers, and with 30 beers on tap we felt like kids in a candy store.

Join Rex Halfpenny at the Shark Club and learn the history and intricacies of Bock Beer! Please come hang out with me and learn from one of the States if not the Countries leading experts on beer. I promise you, you will not regret it. Beer is something that constantly changes and grows and no matter what our level of expertize there is always more to learn.

Short's Brewing Company will be hosting a tap takeover at the Shark Club in Howell on Saturday, May 5th from Noon to Midnight. Want to rock out your Cinco de Mayo in a non-traditional way? Well, come on down for a day of music, great food specials, and at least 20 different Short's beers on tap!

Last Monday we went to Style Night with Rex Halfpenny at the Shark Club in Howell. The feature was Belgian Beers and they were mostly yeast forward, high alcohol beers that included Delirium Nocturnum, Delirium Tremens, Chimay & Gulden Draak. The three different beers we tried were the Wittekerke which is a Belgian White or WIT Beer, and we had St. Louis Framboise which is a Fruit Lambic. The last one was Poperings Hommel Ale which is a Belgian IPA.

Join Rex Halfpenny at the Shark Club on April 9th at 7pm and start exploring the world of Belgian beer. There are far to many to cover in 1 session so we will go over a small selection this time and revisit this topic again in the near future. Belgium is where a great many world class beers are produced and have been for centuries.

On Thursday night we went out to the Shark Club in Howell for their Barrel-Aged Beer Night. The Shark Club is a big place that can fit around 300 people and at this event there had to be at least 150 patrons out enjoying barrel-aged beers. It’s cool to see this kind of turn out since barrel-aged beers are more of an acquired taste and probably not the first choice for an average beer drinker. I must say it’s nice to see people appreciating great beer and the quality of the beer bring them in the door instead of a $2 beer night.

This is a cool event going on at the always exciting Shark Club Billiards and Night Club in Howell. Their normal lineup of craft beers is fantastic, but on March 29th it gets even better (and boozier) for their Barrel Aged Beer Night featuring more than ten barrel aged beers from around Michigan and beyond.
