There has been a few people inquire about the Craft Beer Road Trip I mentioned a few weeks ago, so I wanted to give everyone an update on what's happening with this...
Without releasing too many details before they are ready, another local who is very into craft beer contacted me to say he had been working on a similar trip. He's still hammering out details, but it's looking like a possible April trip to all the right spots in Michigan. When I hear it's ready to be passed along, I will do that.
So where does that leave The Beer Is Good trip? It's still likely to happen, I just want to make sure the timing doesn't cause problems with the other one planned. Also, since the other trip is going to make the rounds in Michigan, I'm going to try to work out Chicago instead. A few places I'm hoping to add will be Revolution, Local Option, Half Acre, Map Room, The Publican and Haymarket, but that depends on if they can accommodate a group of about 30.
Anyhow, I didn't want to leave the people who were looking forward to this hanging, so that's where it stands. If you have any comments or suggestions for the Chicago trip, definitely let me know!

TheBeerIsGood.com Craft Beer Roadtrip!
I've been wanting to sponsor a craft beer related road trip for some time now, which has been rekindled with the success of local craft beer fan, Jay Fields, and his most recent beer tour around the Michiana area.
With that said, I'm putting together a fact finding committee with all of the various personalities in my head, and together we would like to gauge the interest of such a trip. At this point I will likely engage Royal Excursion for a bus, and will have around 30 spots available. The cost of the trip will only provide the safe transportation to a handful of great craft beer locations in the most popular city chosen, however I will try to work in some schwag from locations we visit.
So with that in mind, if you are interested, please take the below survey to give us a better idea of what you are interested in. Once I have a pretty good idea of where people want to go, and how much people are willing to pay, I will start putting together more solid details. I'm thinking sometime late Spring would be a lot of fun, and the weather would most likely be warm, without being hot. By the way, to keep costs down, I do not intend to make a profit off of this. Having a killer time is payment enough for me!
