Stuart: Yesss

Nate is drinking a Hola Barkness - Mi Viejo Amigo by Transient Artisan Ales at Grodziskie Gardens
Wonderfully rich and creamy chocolate malt shake, sweet caramel candy, vanilla cream puff, a touch of maple and roasty coffee, and a deep hearty rye spiced oak character intricately woven throughout. Great showing with the Eastern Kille barrel
Nate is drinking a Kräusen by Art History Brewing at Grodziskie Gardens
Superbly clean pale malts, a light spicy floral hop, nice crispy finish. This is wonderful, I should visit next time I'm in town
Nate is drinking a DKML by Founders Brewing Co. at Grodziskie Gardens
2025. Boozy sweet caramel candies and marzipan, a little bit of wood.
Nate is drinking a Gin Barrel Professional Pils by Drafting Table Brewing Company at Grodziskie Gardens
2025 release. Wild complexity for a pilsner but it's rather nuanced. Fresh herbs, florals, botanicals, pine, hints of dark berry skin, citrus rind, a touch of caramel, all on a clean crackery malt base. What a rollercoaster of flavor
Nate is drinking a Pickle Party by Eastern Market Brewing Co at Grodziskie Gardens
Lightly tart juicy dill pickle with a fat smack of bold garlic. I think the pickle flavor execution is stellar but the addition of garlic without mentioning it on the label is not good
Nate: Previously known as Grey Skies, Eastern Kille is located near Grand Rapids. I visited in their early years and really liked their gin & spiced rum. Looks like I need to try their whiskey again!

Nate: Central Waters also has an Eastern Kille barrel variant of their big Twenty Seven stout, looking forward to trying that one soon
