Low Beer Alert! The last keg of Say Uncle! has been tapped! This 11.1% Imperial IPA uses the Uncle Cousin base malt bill with a huge dry hop addition of Summit, Centennial, and Albion grown Nugget hops from just a couple of miles from the brewery. We are ready to make room in the lineup for a new beer release - so we're filling howlers or growlers of this big hoppy sipper for half price until it's gone!

We are a little partial to this one! But come to Albion and check this delicious beer out!

Uncle Cousin is back! Our original IPA has a clean malt backbone with a slight honey profile and a huge dose of citrusy Michigan Summit and Centennial to play with the Albion grown Nugget from farm just a few miles from us!

We are Grateful that we get to be a part of this!! Thanks to Odd brothers for choosing our hops!

Our last commission is art for our new "IPC" (India Pale Cider) created for us by .

The IPC is a new "cider" take on the classic IPA. We thought it fitting the art should be a new take on a classic painting.

This was our first piece of digital art and we think it came out great. We were turned onto Ray by fellow artist .

All of the main ingredients are grown within 25 miles of where it's made. Apples from Glei's Orchards and Greenhouses , bitter hops from MEAN Hops Farm in Albion and a juicy blend of hops from High Five Hop Farm in Marshall. All combined to bring you a juicy, refreshing, 60 Ibu cider. Look for this cider later this summer!

Check out our Artist tab at

You will find a bio of the artists and a contact to get in touch. There has never been a better time to support Local.
