With over sixty different breweries in attendance, hawking some of the finest brews east of the Mountain Time Zone right here in Ypsilanti, this year’s Summer Beer Festival will be one for the record books. For fourteen years the Michigan Brewer’s Guild (MBG) has organized the Summer Beer Festival to promote that special alchemy which turns grist, mash and wort into frothy, liquid gold. Attracting hundreds of devotees every year, the Summer Beer Festival is by far the largest and oldest of the festivals hosted throughout the year by the MBG. Breweries such as Motor City Brewing Works, Right Brain Brewery, Shorts Brewing Company, and Bell’s Brewery among many others, will pour summer seasonals as well as familiar favorites.
In addition to the brews, there will be lots of live music and several local food vendors serving up tasty vittles. Since the state of Michigan has the highest number of craft breweries in the Midwest, with in-state barrel sales rising dramatically, attendees not only get to select from hundreds of different brews, they get to enjoy something uniquely Michigan. The Summer Brew Festival offers beer aficionados the chance to meet the brewers, ask probing questions and, above all, sample refreshing wares! The event kicks off Friday, July 22nd from 5pm-9pm at Riverside Park on Cross Street in Ypsilanti. Tickets are expected to sell out before the event, so be sure to pre-order to ensure your spot.
Pack a lunch, grab your hat and don’t forget the sunscreen; next Sunday the annual Huron River Day will be in full swing at Gallup Park. Come join your friends and neighbors, bring the kids and experience all that the Huron River has to offer in one action-packed day. The Huron River Watershed Council invites you to take in the scenery with area water conservationists. Begin the day at 8:30 a.m. with a river swim followed by a continental bagel breakfast. REI and the Huron River Watershed Council bring you free, family-oriented paddle instruction for both canoe and kayak. Or, join the tour led by a nature expert and learn more about Huron’s riparian flora and fauna while enjoying a leisurely paddle. Kayak and canoe Rentals during Huron River Day are just $5, but those who bike to the event will be rewarded with free boat rentals courtesy of Washtenaw Bicycling and Walking Coalition. Both beginner and seasoned fishermen alike can learn to cast wet and dry flies from local fly fishing instructors. There will be booths and exhibits discussing the Huron river ecosystem plus games and activities for kids, like the Envirochallenge, Storytelling or the Live Animal Program put on by the Leslie Science Center.
Whether you’re new to the river scene, or paddle the Huron daily, Huron River Day is a great way to get in the loop while catching up on the latest conservation news. Area businesses and local nonprofit groups, like the Huron River Watershed Council and Huron-Clinton Metroparks, pool their resources to make Huron River Day a success. It is a great way to get the kids away from the video games. It’s free and, best of all, the event focuses on bringing the community closer to its natural resources. Come out and play this Sunday, the water’s great!
