I believe the correct term is "GILF!" Great pics Yooper, but I seem to remember a particular one involving kegs... for some reason it didn't make it to print!
Cool interview, but as a life-long yooper myself, this statement really annoyed me:
I've had some pretty damn great beers by the brewpubs in the U.P., so to say there's nothing good up here and instead tout WI/MN beer is crap. Lorena and I have met a few times and judged a comp in Northern WI together. She's free to have a different opinion of course, but I disagree with this vehemently. I've been to Titletown on numerous occasions and wouldn't call their beer any better than a lot of what I've had up here.

What are those 2 things in flannel she is standing in front of in the first picture?
Wow! What magnificent posture! And the facilities cleanliness. Yooper knows how to get me a little randy.
Great article, glad to see you getting recognized!

Great article and congratulations, Yooper!
Funny! And yeah, I just threw out the last of it
Seriously, nice article. You do deserve the recognition with your awesome brewing and all the help you give others.

I understand why you say that. Please remember that I called this area a beer wasteland, as the nearest brewpub is in Marquette- 90 miles away from me! It's excellent, but hardly an easy visit to have a couple of beers. I grab a growler (or two) every chance I get but it's not a large brewery at all.I can not buy beer, at any price, that I would consider decent within 50 miles of where I live. That's why I brew my own!
I agree- Founders is phenomenal. Unfortunately, it's about 500 miles away from me. It's not carried by the distributor in our area, and I can't buy it. I did get some when I went downstate on vacation, of course! Bells is also great, as is Short's. I can occasionally find some Bell's beers only 40 miles away.
Thanks for the nice words, everybody. I appreciate it!
Nice article Yoop! Congrats.
I thought that's maybe what you meant, but the statement was, "We live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a big vast beer wasteland.". You didn't specify the Western U.P., or this area, but rather just Upper Peninsula. I don't see how anyone reading that would take anything out of it other than, "there is little to no good beer to be had in the U.P.". A poor choice of words at best. I don't mean to be a jerk about it, but it really set me off - a Yooper gets put into the national homebrewing spotlight and it looks like you're !@#$ing where you eat (or drink, in this case). I've vented now. Moving on...

I gotta tell you, Yooper, in that first picture, you look like a kid on Christmas morning! So excited!
Great article!
Great article!
Ah. When I read that myself, I see exactly what you mean. Of course, that's not what I meant, but I do see the way it comes across in print. And then I went on to say that when I DO go to a city, it's in WI or MN. Which is true, because we don't have any major cities, but I can see how it looks like I'm dissing the whole UP.
My favorite beer in the UP is in Marquette, and The Vierling. Outstanding beer, all the time, with a really awesome guy for a Brewmaster. But I read the question to mean larger craft breweries and Surly is the one that immediately came to mind, as well as Titletown as a brewpub as more people would know Green Bay.
I see what you mean, but unfortunately I can't fix it now. If I had it to do over again, I would definitely clarify that I meant THIS area, particularly the western UP.
Can I make it up to you by buying you a beer at Hereford & Hops next Friday night?

exactly what I was thinking.... Yoop gets some press and this guy "vents" all over a thread celebrating her moment in the spotlight.
Nice work, you really nice guy who nicely explained his point of view without namecalling.

Nice work,
No, not at all! I like and respect whatsleftofyou and I see exactly what he means. He's a really nice guy who nicely explained his point of view without namecalling, and I think very highly of him. We've met in person, and I think he's a terrific guy.
Please, no namecalling!

psssst- your name is in the article as the Control Panel Designer.
Yooper, diplomatic to the end!
Because when I read:
"I don't mean to be a jerk..."
My only thought was:
"Oh no, too late!!!"
Good to hear you guys are still cool!

That was a nice read,so I saved it. It seems we agree on the "white whale" part. I enjoy trying to make more sessionable beers out of the high ABV/high gravity ones. I've already got a tweak or two in mind for the duel APA/IPA brews I did. They'll get there,after another try or two. Good to see you got some recognition. That doesn't come easy,I know. Nas Darovye!
