Those guys are awesome. I love that they're sampling beer whenever I come in. I have been meaning to make it to one of their brew club meetings some time, but I have a 14 month old and a 3 month old, so it's not really happening. MBC has a lot of stuff but not much knowlegdge there. Unlike the RS, they never answer the phone and I drove all the way out once to find out that they were out a fermenter lids and then had to drive to Grand Ledge. I just assumed they would have them because they were out of them a month before, so I figured they would just order some. They really seem to have more at RS, which is very odd because RS has so much less retail space than MBC. However, MBC's new bar is awesome, and they have 16 beers on tap!

When things settlle down from the Holidays, we should make a pilgrimage some weekend and do the brewery tour and then the pub. I bet my wife could drop us off and pick us up later in the day so we don't have to drive!
