As you’ll recall, we had a hard fought game against our brothers in Traverse City a little while back. This coming Wednesday, we’ll be having a rematch at a location to be determined. Come cheer on your favorite team, or just come and support two great local brew crafters as we get a little exercise in. Check back here for a final location, and in the meantime enjoy some pictures from our last event.
