Support Michigan NIL by Drinking Beer
First post, go easy on me. Searched and couldn't find this ever being posted even though its a few weeks old.
Was browsing the beer selection at my local Busch's Market and stumbled upon a "Champions Circle Maize Ale" by New Holland Brewery. Did a little Googling and found that this is a partnership between New Holland and Champions Circle with some of the proceeds going to support our NIL program.

Picked up a 6-Pack, not a huge fan of Blonde Ales but it was okay.
Since we are talking about beer, anyone get their hands on the "Stealing Signs" beer from Saucy Brew Works in Cleveland? I know its supposed to be making fun of Michigan but I love the cans and would love to have a 4-pack of it. Wondering if anyone was able to get their hands on some and if it was any good.

Can mods put a sticky thread NIL product menu us normies can grab from?
Thanks for sharing, OP.
December 11th, 2023 at 4:37 PM ^
This is a great idea.

I feel like you lack self awareness if you consider yourself a normie.
Frankly I'm not sure anyone who posts more than once per day here could ever be considered a normie.

Soon the entire front page will be really sticky

If this is a new trend, Wisconsin is about to sign an Alabama-level class

Squeaky cheeae curds will indeed become the food of champions.

I was in Cleveland over Thanksgiving when Saucy Brew Works announced and sold the Stealing Signs beer.
Waited in line at their location in Orange, OH, with about 50 Buckeyes. Got two four-packs...but already gave away some of the cans to friends.
I'm not an IPA guy so I can't really judge the quality of it. Someone in line with me described it as being "ok" for a pale IPA.
On another note, we were in a Browns/Buckeyes store in the same mall. I offered my 19 year old daughter (2026 UM GRAD) $1 dollar to scream out "Go Blue." She did so and got booed. I screamed it out much more loudly when we left the store...and apparently caused quite the ruckus...according to our cousins who remained in the store. (These same cousins just announced their oldest is attending OSU next fall...so....)

1 whole dollar to risk her life!?
December 11th, 2023 at 4:55 PM ^
Many would have bellowed that out for free.
December 11th, 2023 at 5:00 PM ^
A dollar was paradoxically too little and too much.
December 11th, 2023 at 5:03 PM ^
After she did it, she let me know that she would've done it with no compensation.
That's my girl!
December 11th, 2023 at 5:13 PM ^
Proud parent. Good for you.
December 11th, 2023 at 5:57 PM ^
LOL - she's still getting free money from Dad, but after graduating she doesn't even need to ask for it!
Clever girl...
December 11th, 2023 at 4:33 PM ^
Drink one for me. Hope they'll distribute my way some day.
December 11th, 2023 at 4:37 PM ^
Does the Ohio brewery use genuine buckeye tears to brew their beer?
December 11th, 2023 at 4:46 PM ^
Only a 3.672 on Untappd, would be over 4 if they used actual Buckeye tears.
December 11th, 2023 at 9:42 PM ^
Should have been rated 30.24 if you know what I mean!!
December 12th, 2023 at 1:56 AM ^
3.024?
December 11th, 2023 at 4:37 PM ^
My Mom is into blonde ales, lol, seriously. Not my thing but thanks for sharing. Love their GR brewpub, very nice spot.
December 11th, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
My Dad was into blonds...And seriously, It my thing too and I am into sharing..(just not at the same time)...
December 12th, 2023 at 9:50 AM ^
I’m blonde… oh wait you said ales.
December 11th, 2023 at 4:42 PM ^
Can Harbaugh ask for NIL money from Saucy Brew Works?
December 11th, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
But seriously, can he sue them for using his image and likeness without his permission? (I am assuming he didn't give his permission)...?
December 11th, 2023 at 9:08 PM ^
Ironically the picture was taken on an iPhone from the stands
December 11th, 2023 at 4:46 PM ^
I have to imagine "Stealing Signs" beer just tastes extra bitter.
December 11th, 2023 at 5:05 PM ^
It would have be funnier if they called it an "ethically hazy pale ale." If I was a Buckeye brewer, I would have. Then again, maybe I would have become enamored with Pringles cans instead. Who can really know?
December 11th, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
Good idea but it would fly right over the heads of the target market.
As for the beer, bet it tastes like three straight losses

Wolverine State Brewery needs to come up with a:
Cheating since the Beginning Ohio Lagger
December 11th, 2023 at 7:28 PM ^
It’s high time they do a Classic American Pilsner over there —a once-forgotten pre-prohibition style revitalized by Ann Arbor’s very own Jeff Renner— which features a prominent corn bill in the mash and can very easily play into a “maize” motif
Incidentally, you can intermittently find a CAP on tap at Brewery Becker up in Brighton

A great gift idea for the alcoholics in your family!
December 11th, 2023 at 4:52 PM ^
You had me at beer.
December 11th, 2023 at 4:53 PM ^
Beer me.
December 11th, 2023 at 4:54 PM ^
No NIL connection that I know of, but there's always Haze and Blue IPA from Big Lake Brewing in Holland. It's in a lot of stores, at least in W MI.
December 11th, 2023 at 5:13 PM ^
North Peak also does a beer called "Hail" which you can get at the Jolly Pumpkin locations, plus N Peak itself obviously, and I think they package it for retail, too
December 11th, 2023 at 5:19 PM ^
It is quite good
December 11th, 2023 at 4:59 PM ^
I got $50 that says Conor Stalions drinks Colt 45

The title of this post is the most attractive title I've seen on this board. Clicked on it immediately.

I minored in click bait.

Great to see a craft brewery from MI have an affiliation with Michigan football. New Holland is great; blonde ales may not be the most exciting but if it's done well, the style can be very enjoyable. Hopefully we can get some genuine craft beer in the Big House.
Saucy is a mediocre brewery --if you're in Cleveland, there are about a dozen better options for locally-made craft beer-- that failed to establish a brewpub location in Detroit. I wouldn't bet on this beer being an exception to the rule. P.S. their logo is a pretty clear ripoff of Rhinegeist’s.
December 11th, 2023 at 5:14 PM ^
Definitely need this to serve to my sparty friends when they come over.

Is Hartline Double Dip IPA available yet?

Was hoping for Zima, but beer works too.
