Beer City USA

I'm far from being a brewing aficionado, but I do enjoy an occasional beer. Grand Rapids was named Beer City USA for 2012—a title shared with Asheville, NC since voting finished in a statistical tie. Craft beers have surged in popularity all over the country and Grand Rapids has it's own fair share of breweries.

This video features 16 local breweries. Watch and enjoy these Grand Rapidians having lots of fun, while also realizing why G.R. was not named the city with the most talented singing bar patrons!!!

Kudos to the Brewmeisters!

My nephew and his wife have been "brewing their own" for a while. They recently began a blog, The Dailey Brewing Company, and occasionally report on their latest batch o' brew, equipment addition or new process.

Last Saturday, they entered the 22nd Annual Dredhop Competition at the Falling Rock Tap House in Denver. I'm excited with them to announce their Hail to the Heffeweizen took third place honors in the German Wheat and Rye Beer Category!

My heartiest congratulations to these aspiring brewers! As they like to say, "Drink your Dailey Brew Daily!"
