What an excellent idea. I get back to the UK twice a year, and love
sampling all the real ales. Michigan is getting there, but the hand drawn
live (not pasteurized) ales are something to behold. Few brewpubs have got
into handdrawn ales in the US just yet, but the beer is almost as good as I
get back home, says he who visited the Mountain Town brewpub in Mount
Pleasant, MI, today and enjoyed a pint of really good American IPA ... not
a style that you find in the UK (Youngs Specials maybe, but otherwise UK
beers tend to be less hoppy than US beers).
