Hideout Brewing Smuggler’s Hazelnut Stout

Hideout Brewing Smuggler’s Hazelnut Stout

If there was ever a job that sounded cooler than being a bounty hunter, it has to be a smuggler.  Seriously, second only to Boba Fett, every guy wanted to be Han Solo when they were watching Star Wars as a kid.  That rakish charm, cocky smile, and slightly dangerous veneer hiding the heart of gold underneath; just enough bad boy to be exciting, but sincere enough to only be slightly embarrassed to bring home to meet the … Read entire article »

Brewery Vivant Triomphe

Brewery Vivant Triomphe

Brewery Vivant does many things incredibly well. They have a great building with nice people, delicious beer and virtuous business principles. They also have an affinity for beer styles with heritage in Belgium. As if that is not enough, we can personally attest to their ability to craft one of the finest IPA’s we’ve ever had: Trebuchet. When you combine all these brilliant qualities, you end up with Triomphe. … Read entire article »

Founders Brewing Co. Bolt Cutter

Founders Brewing Co. Bolt Cutter

In 1997, Bill Clinton was starting his second term, Steve Jobs made his return to Apple, Titanic swept the box office, and R Kelly’s I believe I Can Fly had not yet made us want to gouge out our ears.  It was also the year that Founders Brewing Company opened its doors to the world.   … Read entire article »

Dark Horse Brewing Perkulator

Dark Horse Brewing Perkulator

Many moons ago, The Drew  Carey Show made a big deal about combining coffee and beer in their on-air micro brew called buzz beer. It was a dark time, the evil Anheuser regime ruled the beer market, with only around a couple hundred craft breweries nationwide. That plucky little garage beer from Cleveland proved to be oddly prophetic, as today craft breweries have increased by over 1000% since the introduction of Buzz Beer in The Drew Carey Show.  Enter … Read entire article »

North Peak Nomad

North Peak Nomad

From time to time we at Tuesday Nights veer outside our Michigan Craft Beer boundaries to expand our pallet.  This time we tried something new but stayed within the Michigan brewing community.  Kind of reminds me of taking a day off from work and just hanging out at home with family during a school break.  Never leaving familliar home but doing something different during a typical work day provides a new and even fun experience. … Read entire article »

Brewery Vivant Big Red Coq

Brewery Vivant Big Red Coq

Some of the best things in the world come from taking two very different things and smashing them together.  Sodium and Chlorine: good separately for their own purposes, together make salt, the most widely used seasoning in the world.  Peanut butter and chocolate: good on their own, great in a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.  Belgian and American beers: . . . . . let’s find out: … Read entire article »

Short’s Brewing Nicie Spicie

Short’s Brewing Nicie Spicie

One of the things that I absolutely love about the craft beer revolution is the fact that everyone has different opinions on taste and you can’t really be wrong (Unless you don’t agree with me).  Everyone is entitled to an opinion on how something tastes.  When we sample a new beer we don’t always have the same sentiment. This creates a wonderful atmosphere of discussion (that’s putting it nicely) which we here at Tuesday Nights … Read entire article »

Brewery Vivant Trebuchet Double IPA

Brewery Vivant Trebuchet Double IPA

Let me be clear and forward. We love Trubechet Double IPA. Not just like, but love. Lets get married kind of love. Very rarely, even in Grand Rapids, MI (Beer City USA), does a beer come along that pleases the taste buds of Tuesday Nights so unanimously. Brewery Vivant has crafted a wonderful double IPA that pleases IPA drinkers and whimpy non-IPA drinkers alike(“Shut up Rob.”-Jer) … Read entire article »

Brewery Vivant Tripel

Brewery Vivant Tripel

Lately Brewery Vivant has been consistently crafting some delicious beers. It’s an easy brewery to recommend since they don’t really make a bad beer. We recently sampled a trio of delicious limited release beers: Zaison, Trebuchet and Tripel. The Tripel will be our focus in this review. … Read entire article »
