Michigan Beer: A Heady History

Join author Patti Smith as we explore all about Michigan craft beer! 

Michigan has long been called the Great Lakes State but in the past few decades, it has also become known as the Great Beer State. Patti F. Smith will entertain with stories from local brewers and tell how early immigrants brought their distinctive beer styles from their home countries, how early local brewers made their mark in beer, and how the brewing industry consolidated after World War II. Along the way, participants will discover different styles of beer from ales to lagers and learn about the current state of local craft breweries.
