Pool Time Ale by Bells
IMO one of the best IPAs available in the country right now.
Boss Tweed is amazing. I've been a fan of Apricot Dank Juice, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Something and Maumee Bay Fake Juice recently as well.
Edit: Didn't read the whole OP about Michigan-based
Not mandatory Michigan made, just prefer. Thanks!
I’ve been basically living off Hazies for the past 2 months. Love that shit.
I'm bumping this because Old Nation's Boss Tweed really is really fantastic (with a 9.3% ABV!). Still working my through many of the other suggestions, but Boss Tweed is a clear standout thus far.

Agreed.
Of Perrin Grapefruit IPA.
Tried it. So-so, quite pithy. Squeeze of fresh grapefruit lightens it up.

Try Petoskey Brewing "Juicy," Rochester Mills "Juice Bigalow," or Perrin "MichiganCherry IPA"
I'd call it more of a summer beer, but when the weather is nice Two Roads Persian Lime Gose is excellent (if you like something sour and tart). It's out of Connecticut, but might be available in Michigan.
Not Oberon, that’s for sure. I don’t understand the love for that bad beer.
must not like wheat beer
I like wheat beer.
is a great alternative

Whitsun Ale. I prefer it to Oberon. Easy to find, and affordable. Great summer beer.
Had one of those last weekend. Not bad, but struggled to find a quality that made it distinct. Then again, I only had one.
Refreshing.
Victory summer love ale is a nice spring quaffer
Tangerine Space Machine by New Holland. Not sure how easy it is to find outside of west MI. Otherwise I always like Perrin Grapefruit IPA for summertime.
is really stepping it up lately
Love most of their hatter series and all of the dragon’s milk varieties are always fun. Try a half poet and half dragon’s milk some day. They have a name for it at new holland but I can’t remember...angry poet I believe.
You can get their beer barrel bourbon at Costco. Not bad!
Founders Solid Gold, PC Pils, All Day IPA
Nicie Spicie from Shorts once it comes out

Solid Gold is way underrated. Love that it comes in a 24 pack case too!
Drinking a Founders PC Pils right now. Very good if you are used to IPAs and are looking for something that’s not as strong. Two Hearted is my favorite beer but they hit you pretty hard.
They sell Miller Lite year round.
threw up in my mouth. Do they sell it room temperature in a wax cup?
Is exactly my summer beer of choice. All day IPA is the other one. I’m a one of those lame calorie counters so beer is drank on rare occasion these days. Straight bourbon all year round!
Year round Miller Lite!!!! Tastes great and goes with everything.
wtf? less filling.
For those of us low carbing it, Michelob ultra is technically beer...I think. It also becomes the only "beer" for every season.
IMO, carb counting for beer is silly. Either don't drink beer or don't worry about the carbs in it!
A regular craft beer has between 10 and 20 grams of carbs. That's practically nothing. Light american lagers have almost zero carbs. Miller Lite has 3 g of carbs.
Marketing has successfully convinced a lot of people that going from a dozen carbs to 2 carbs is going to make you slim or feel better
You could always drink one nice, real beer rather than several crappy low carb beers...
Keto diet. Must watch every carb. Lost 20 pounds so far since January 1.
If it was low carb alone, I'd drink beer that tasted like beer.
Damn son, congrats. Please update your avatar so we can see the results.
You can give up that stupid bread. Give me a real beer.
I always love a great weight loss story. However, I don’t always love the freaky diet fads. Just remember when that Keto diet fad dies off it will always come down to the number of calories taken in vs the number of calories burned. A pound of fat equals 3500 calories. A deficit of 500 calories per day will lose you a pound of fat per week. Don’t make it too difficult. 1g of carb equals 4 calories. 1g of fat equals 9 calories. 1g of protein equals 4 calories. Your body needs all of those. Choose wisely (healthy) and you will do great things! Yep. You can even have that occasional bowl of ice cream :-))
The keto thing is pretty easy to manage once it becomes a lifestyle. My energy levels are steadier throughout the day, I sleep better, and a lot less bloated all the time. No digestive issues anymore and overall inflammation is down (but that could be from being mindful about which omega fats I'm eating).
Downside is that my kidneys hurt if I don't hydrate like crazy. Already passed a stone on this diet.
I don’t care about keto, I just like my cheap campfire Miller Lite beer in a can. I like some craft beer to but most of it is very overrated. Most of it is shit beer they throw chocolate or fruit in to hide the fact that it’s shit beer. Some breweries make great beer, most are just a modern version of Big Buck Brewery. If they charge a lot for a beer and tell people it’s a great beer, most will believe it.
congrats. wife is doing weight watchers and I'm going along for the ride. almost 2 months so far, shes down 25 lb and I'm down 20 (I cheat a lot).
keto gets amazing results but I could never do a diet that strict.
Congrats to y'all too. I'm sure you both feel so much better than before. It helps to have both spouses work to keep each other motivated.
yes sir. that first week was rough, but then I felt like I had so much more energy. and it's nice to see my waistline shrinking.
Had Grey Sail's Captain's Daughter Double IPA. Most enjoyable.
Tha Winchesta.
I never cross the border without it
