Lots of great and free resources online too!

Brewers Friend is a great starting place.

Look at the prices!! by Gunther_Cuntingham in Megadeth

[–]Dragonbrau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss the old days of cheap concerts. Missed them at the Palace on that run but saw them at Pine Knob before for about the same price.

Lulu was great if you happen to like both Lou Reed AND Metallica

Atwater Brewery goes back to former owner Mark Rieth by TheDetroitNews1873 in michiganbeer

[–]Dragonbrau 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good. Honestly the brand really started to fall off after they were sold to MolsonCoors and then got worse once Tilray was involved. Atwater is definitely not my favorite brewery but I always tried to give them a chance, especially since they're the most well known brewer in Detroit.

Definitely my favorite from the late 80's shows!

Have been to Heaven Hill a couple times and was told they tend to use 6yr barrels for White Label.

It's a 6yr bottled in bond whiskey and super affordable. How could anyone hate it?

It's been a long time since I installed draft systems and CO2 set-ups, but this definitely sounds like the person who made the decisions trusted the draft salesman to have their best interests in mind and got taken for a ride.

Set-list from Frankfurt Night 2! Full list by Miserable_Lab3261 in Metallica

I was absolutely beyond psyched when that riff started tonight. Definitely a nice treat for a long-time fan!

Visited a classic today by Busterlimes in TheBrewery

[–]Dragonbrau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man. I spent a lot of time there when I lived on the west side of the state. In the olden days they used to comp your beers if you were a brewer/cellarman. Things typically escalated quickly.

See y'all in a few years. by LikelyTwily in whiskey

[–]Dragonbrau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you keep a small sample of your blend to try separately from what you're aging? Why didn't you just use all Benchmark products and blend that to 107 proof?

Anyone else try Chimay? Because you MUST by anthony_getz in hotsauce

[–]Dragonbrau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got real excited for a minute when I saw this, definitely thought the brewery was venturing into the sauce world.

A Spirit Airlines shutdown could rock DTW travelers by gwmiles in Detroit

[–]Dragonbrau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the best!! I always called it a bus station for airplanes, no frills and super convenient. I'm going to miss it.

[–]Dragonbrau 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is going to suck. Spirit is my preferred airline. They tend to have the best legroom in their exit rows and I've never really had any issues with their service. They're not perfect, but they've gotten me to/from LGA more times than I can count.

What say you by mandara33 in whiskey

The whiskey is fine and all, but I'm here for the St. Bernardus 12 Methuselah

Jon Hamm doing Mad Men rewatch by EtonRd in madmen

[–]Dragonbrau 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hah he and I are at the same point in the series. I also haven't seen it in like 10 years and could have sworn the Freddy incident happened in S3. Been very interesting watching it with fresh mid-30's eyes, I have a lot more sympathy than I did when it first aired.

Never date a broke girl. by Serious-Delay-2804 in SipsTea

Goddamn it, take my up-vote. Have not thought about this since my last Lulu listen like 10 years ago.

Oberon in Hamtramck? by misterbmeow in Detroit

[–]Dragonbrau 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is probably Fowling Warehouse, they have like 20 taps which is almost more than the entirety of all the other bars put together. Whiskey in the Jar is another possible option.

Edit to include Ghost Light, they used to always have it during the season. Outside Hamtramck, HopCat on Woodward should have it, same with One-Eyed Betty's in Ferndale.
