It’s a hodge podge this week, which means we have missives from all over Michigan. We’ll start the show off with a beer, which is always the best way.

We discuss the upcoming Michigan Brewers Guild U.P. Beer Festival which is happening this year on September 12, once again in beautiful downtown Marquette. Beloved by brewers, the fest is one of our favorites too. Have you been?

That's just the beginning of a fun show!
