Hey tcapmidnoces, nice to meet you fellow Yooper (and Keweenaw) brewer. I'm originally from the Houghton area myself, and am up there frequently. Should meet up at the KBC for a pint sometime and talk brewing. :mug:

Look forward to visiting with all of you. Long time no see. Should be a great festival weekend this year. Maybe we can get a few other fellow brewers there too. Thanks! Yeah, we just got married 4 months ago, on New Years Eve.

Bosch was in Hancock back in the day. I know a few people up that way who remember it fondly. We can soon add Bells to the Escanaba list. Well, Upper Hand as I believe that extension of their brewery will be initially called.

Looks like there will be a few new breweries there this year and bigger than even previous years. greatnorthernbeerfestival/ The new breweries attending, that I heard mention of: Hinterland, Stone Arch, 3 Sheep, House of Brews, and now that Eagle River has a brewery, Tribute Brewing Co...

Well, I'm sure you already have the Escanaba area covered, whatsleft, but I'd be glad to give you some breweries from the keweenaw: Houghton: the Keweenaw Brewing Company, and the Library Bar & Restaurant, since of course they make beer on premise. Calumet: Michigan House Cafe & Brew Pub...

I missed all of the events myself. Was way too busy. I hope that I can get to the Uptoberfest again this year. I've been very busy with my fiancee, yes, you heard that right Yooper and lschiavo. :D Perhaps we can both make it down to that in October.

Too bad you can't make it to the festival. Enjoyed meeting and talking to you at the Escanaba UPtoberfest last fall.

I will be there again this year. Campsite and all that already reserved. Should be another great fest. It's a shame that you won't be able to make it this year Yooper. Last year a few from the forum were there, Philli, like Yooper said. It was a good fest last year.

Greetings from just north of you, Bryan. I go down to GB often enough. Good LHBS there in downtown by Hinterland and I have to visit the local beer stores to get some good WI only beers always. Been brewing for 10 years now myself.

Welcome aboard. I'm from 2 miles outside of WI, but close enough.

I heard about this one. Would like to go, but I may try to make it down to the Roar on the Shore in Kewaunee on 3/31.

Much easier for transport also. In the summers I look out for microbrews in cans to bring camping, etc. I'm liking this trend to cans, as every year I find additional beers that I enjoy showing up in cans.

Yooper, I camped at a campground between Escanaba and Gladstone. Not many camping this time of year, but was a nice place to camp, and the 80 degree temps really made it nice.

Enjoyed my first time at the UPtoberfest. Sure was great weather for the festival. Was thankful for the tables and chairs as I had injured myself last week, so made everything good. Whatsleftofyou, was good meeting you there. Enjoyed the beer that you had brewed also.

There's a good chance that I will be attending this festival. Looks like it'll be a great weekend for it too.

Greetings syncrouser, from a finlander in Michigan. Very strong Finnish ties up in my area. I still have yet to make a good Sahti style beer.

Yeah, Nicholet still has a website even. Just a single page showing their pilsner, but misleading as I thought that it was opened for a while when I moved here myself.

Greetings Irishbrewer89, from the UP. And as Tiber said, you are lucky down there. There's one small local homebrew store here, but not a single microbrewery. I have to go 50-100 miles from my current location for a brewpub or another homebrew store.. Midwest also is my main supplier.

I know what you mean, captianoats. Easier for camping also. I've seen a few more in cans, besides the ones listed so far, like Bluemoon, Lienies, Shiner (bock only I've seen) and several micro brews around here have a few of theirs canned, like Capital, Milwaukee Brewing, Keweenaw Brewing...

or even a piece of string or a laser :D
