In case you haven’t been around in a while (shame on you), I thought I’d share some of the latest happenings. We have had a few changes in faces lately with Josh going back to school, and Mary Jo getting a “real job”. MJ is still going to be with us on Sundays, and some special occasions when we need that little something extra. Candy has stepped into a lot of the coverage with Josh’s exodus, as well as taking on management duties with MJ. Even the brewery has seen recent changes; Jim will be off for a while for medical reasons, so we have hired our intern, Rob, as well as another homebrewer, Matt, that has shown a real love and interest for what we do here at LSBC. We are all very excited about the new opportunities that have come upon us, and we hope you enjoy some of the new things that we do.

OK, so the summer beer festival is finally over, but of course, we have more beer to pour at other locations. On the 28th and 29th, we will be up north for the Traverse City Beer and Music Festival. We did well enough at the winter festival, that we have been invited back for more. Try to get one of the last available tickets online at the Michigan Brewers Guild website, and we’ll see you at one of the largest beer festivals in the country. We will be bringing the following beers and serving them all starting on Friday; Siamese Dream Double IPA Some of these beers are small batches, so be sure to get a taste before they’re gone. The Fat Elvis release went extremely well. It seemed as though everybody that was there within the first two hours was able to get a taste of this incredibly creative recipe. Remember next Wednesday will be our monthly Mug Club meeting, and we may have some residuals from the festival to share with you. Friday night – Company of Strangers Both shows start at 9:00 and as usual, there is no cover. This past Wednesday, we released a small batch of Phat Tyre that was gone in less than an hour. We have noticed the excessive anticipation by everybody for this weeks release of Fat Elvis, and in an attempt to allow for the most amount of people to try the beer, we are only going to serve it in half pints for the first two hours. If it runs out before that, then I’m happy that (theoretically), twice as many people got to try it. This Saturday we have a couple of fun things for you to attend at Liberty Street Brewing Company. At 9:00 a.m. we will be brewing on the loading dock. This week homebrewers Will and Jason are making the “Original Red”. That was our batch #1 and the first thing we tapped when we opened way back in December 08. Many people have expressed that they enjoyed that one, and we would like to try and recreate it. Join us if you would like to learn more about the “Art of Brewing” (since it is Plymouth’s Art in the Park). Then at 9:00 p.m. we will have the band FUNKTION performing upstairs. If you missed them last time, you will want to hear this great band from Kalamazoo. They play a great mix of old and new tunes that will have you out of your seat dancing. Since they had to be rescheduled due to that nasty power outage a couple weeks ago, we would like to pack the house. If you are around town, please come by for a pint and some free live music! Finally, next Wednesday 7/14 at 7:00 p.m. we will release PHAT TYRE. This amber ale is better than that other stuff that you may have heard of and easier to get – right here at home. We will update more small batch release information next week and send out another reminder. Thank you for your continued support, see you soon! We would like to update you on some events happening at Liberty Street Brewing Company this month. First of all let me clarify this Sunday, July 4th. We will open as usual at 12:00 p.m. – NOON (not 12 a.m. as last posted). Remember it is discount growler day, so bring one along to fill and have a cold beer with us. Sons of Liberty Homebrew Club! If you have a beer you would like to share with us, or have a question about brewing beer, come out and join the club. Next Saturday – July 10th Sons of Liberty brewers Will and Jason are brewing the “Original Red” on the Loading Dock beginning at 9:00 a.m. This was our first batch ever at Liberty Street and many people have asked us to brew it again the way we did back then. Also at 9:00 P.M. – the return of Funktion! Having to reschedule due to a power outage last month, these guys can’t wait to roll in from Kalamazoo and play for you. This seven piece band with brass has a cool jazz base to it combined with a more forward funk feel to get you dancing. This is a must see show! You can check them out at http://funktionmusic.com/ Our next small batch release is scheduled for Wednesday July 14th. This small batch of amber ale, called Phat Tyre, is quite refreshing and delicious just like the beer it was named after. We hope that you like the new cleaner look of the upgraded website. It is much more functional and easier to update than the previous one. We are still working on some of the details, but click through the pages to see the new look and stop back for updates to the calendar. You can also sign up for an RSS feed to alert you of any new posts to the website, – just click on “posts” at the top of the page. If you are wondering what beers we are currently serving in the tasting rooms, you can view the “What’s on Tap Now” section from any page on the website. Click on one of the listed beers to read a detailed description.
Just a note to let you know we will brew a small batch of oatmeal stout on the loading dock Saturday at 9 a.m. Brewer Cornell will be on hand to handle all the labor intensive brewing work and cleaning : ) Tonight, upstairs at the brewery we will host an art show featuring works from several local artists including myself. There will be live music and all the artists will be on hand to talk about their individual pieces for sale. The art will remain on the walls for about a month or until it sells. We hope for a good turnout and appreciate your patronage as always. Hope to see you there. Liberty Street Tart Cherry Porter was selected as the first place beer in the Fruit Beer category at the World Expo of Beer in Frankenmuth, MI last year, and then repeated again this year with the base porter recipe taking first place in the porter category. Our Pub House Brown ale also took third place in brown ales category. Come by for a brew and check out our medals! |
