So I apologize for the lack of blog posts, but we’re back at it! Yep, February was a crazy month. Things happened… like Winter Beer Fest in Grand Rapids and us launching bottles to Michigan retail and I took a little vacation. It’s Jen, remember me? Yeah, it’s been a while. To keep track of all Brisket Van news, get to liking it on Facebook and following on Twitter.īottled beers launched in Michigan in February We’re headed to Louisiana in the next week and hope to have Brisket Van on the streets and in the parking lots of Berrien County by early spring (expanding its range as time goes on). We have acquired the food truck that food-truck-dreams are made of. Be sure to come find us early and often, as we’ll be pouring 50 beers from three different stations, including 18 barrel-aged beers and 12 brand new small batch brews.īefore we part, should we talk about the elephant, er, Brisket Van in the room? Yes, it’s true. But if you have tickets to the fest, it’s nothing but good news, starting with 600+ beers from 70+ breweries. Bad news? It sold out in a record number of hours. The moment we wait for all winter long–the 9th annual Michigan Brewers Guild Winter Beer Festival at Fifth Third Ballpark in Comstock Park, MI. Saturday, February 22: Michigan Brewers Guild Winter Beer Festival in Comstock Park, MI Time to get rowdy (responsibly rowdy, of course). Per their usual craziness, Logan’s will have most of these beers available starting at 7 a.m. Which might those be? How about Jadis, Apathy, Broken Promises, Anger, Retribution, Terminator X, Dystopia, VanderBush, Remnant of Dragon, Pain, Rage, Barrel-Aged Terminator X and a special cask of Sheep in Tall Grass. Head to Logan’s Alley on the Friday night before beer fest for our official pre-party, complete with 13 killer Greenbush beers.

It all comes together on February 13th with an all-you-can-eat-and-drink two-hour extravaganza celebrating the timeless love story of beer and pizza.


Weeks later we got together and planned a menu of five pizza (see left) and beer pairings, including a new mango IPA collaboration beer and a killer pork belly collaboration pizza. The story is as simple as this: sales director & marketing director walk into Dimo’s Pizza on Damen Ave., said directors eat some pizza, directors fall in love with pizza and a brewery & pizza joint collaboration was born.
