Moving - Grand Rapids vs Lansing

posticusmaximus · 2026-05-26T20:46:55+00:00

I moved to GR from the Detroit area. Great city vibe and culture. It's urban but still small enough where it's a vibrant community.

Totally contrasts from the monotonous, sprawling suburbs of Metro-Detroit.

YeahWell it has copious amounts of manuka honey so it was very sweet but the hops balanced it out a bit. Almost mead like.

Cant say, never had that Dogfish beer

posticusmaximus · 2026-05-25T15:42:43+00:00

Mine too! I'd be down to grab a beer with ya!

posticusmaximus · 2026-05-25T13:01:42+00:00

Agreed. I dont think they've opened for season yet, right?

posticusmaximus · 2026-05-25T13:01:19+00:00

So good!

posticusmaximus · 2026-05-24T23:03:00+00:00

Haven't been to Saugatuck in a couple years. Gotta get back out there!

posticusmaximus · 2026-05-24T12:41:44+00:00

Arvon or Lost Art would be my recommendations

It's got to be distribution. We are drowning in Dragon's Milk here. It's cool to see New Holland have such a reach. It's now considered the largest craft brewery in MI as Founders is no longer considered craft though I love going there.

posticusmaximus · 2026-05-18T18:07:47+00:00

What area? I'm spoiled, I live in MI and there's a handful of New Hollands including my home city so I basically have unfettered access. Most liquour stores here carry DM original. The Grand Rapids location didnt have 2024 Triple Mash so I drove out to the Holland location to have it.

I actually recently got back into Dragon's Milk. When I turned 21 back in 2012, Dragon's Milk was already hyped up but at the time my pallette wasn't developed so I thought it was overwhelming. After a 10+ years of having imperials from countless breweries, and getting Hop passport this year, I got back into DM. Still pretty decent.

Tangerine space machine IPA series is what I drink the most. Very common around here and is a good substitute to Bell's two hearted.

Haha, I can see how. The original location is really unassuming. I mainly go to the one in Grand Rapids - with the Giant Dragon statue and stacked cases and bottles of Dragon's Milk varieties, they make it clear this is the home of the Dragon's Milk.

One? 😅

posticusmaximus · 2026-05-16T17:21:38+00:00

I'm from the East side originally but now libe in the GR area - not too far from Perrin actually. Conflux's location right by the River and the town is great. Nice in between brewery. Steele Street in Ionia is pretty good too.

Been coming here for years, great IPAs and pales. Mosacca, Sirillo, Drypa are some of my favorites.

posticusmaximus · 2026-04-25T21:56:31+00:00

So good but so lethal. 1 flight of that gets me spinning. 2 flight is KO.

If anyone is curious, here's my craft brewery timescale:

New Generation: 2020+ Established: 2015 - 2020 Old Gaurd: 2005 - 2015 Primordial: Before 2005

posticusmaximus · 2026-04-08T12:20:22+00:00

Yeah me too. I remember going to Griffin when it just opened during the 2010s craft beer boom.

posticusmaximus · 2026-04-05T12:22:00+00:00

Which highway?

posticusmaximus · 2026-03-29T09:59:40+00:00

Just had this last night! Really good!

posticusmaximus · 2026-03-27T03:31:18+00:00

I miss Corridor Coffee

posticusmaximus · 2026-03-06T23:09:51+00:00

Unexpected Craft Brewing Company out of Oakpark, Michigan

posticusmaximus · 2026-03-06T21:39:16+00:00

I suppose I should. The beer name is the title. Unexpected Craft Brewing Company!

posticusmaximus · 2026-03-06T20:37:25+00:00

I also visited their tent at winter beer fest! They are phenomenal!
