In July of 2023, somebody casually asked me, “What are your top breweries in Michigan?” As someone who’s traveled to over 120 (the list keeps growing), I am more than qualified to answer this question. Craft beer’s been a passion of mine since I turned 21. This is before it was considered cool, trendy, or popular. (And I do not consider myself a hipster.) I’ve been visiting different breweries for over 13 years.

I decided to start writing about breweries as a way to keep track of the ones I have went to, and, also, to create a sense of community where we can openly talk about craft beer.

Aside from breweries, I enjoy cooking, kayaking, camping, hiking, and fiddling on the guitar.
