MICHIGAN BREWERS GUILD WINTER BEER FEST - SOLD OUT

You heard it right folks, for the second year in a row the Winter Beer Festival has sold out. Kuddos to the Guild for creating such a great event. If you don't have tickets for this already sorry to say your too late, but don't forget about the after party at the Bashore BrewHaus!

UpComing Online Store

I know, I know, what a corney idea! But seriously, how cool would it be to wear a t-shirt with your favorite fictional brewing company and basement bar on the front or back.....SWEEEEEEET! Anyway, with the help of Mr. Randy Flick 2 we are in the process of putting together an online store for the sole purpose of making sure all of our friends look good, and a little BEER KARMA never hurts. So far we've only had ideas for logo shirt and long sleeve shirts. I would like to get some feedback from you on what type of merchandise you would be interested in owning. As soon as the store is up and running I'll pass the link on to you so you can order to your hearts content.

Cheers,
Matt

Matt's Top 10 Beers

I just wanted to post something that would serve as a reference for those of you wanting to try some new brews or comment on the ones that I like. Also, feel free to post your top 10 in comments, I'd love to know what you drink.

Change is Good

Hello everyone, this is the first update to this blog. There are some big changes coming up in the next week at the BrewHaus. Last weekend we got our foot rail in for the bar. In addition, bar stools are on order and should be here later this week, so hopefully this weekend or early next week both of these items will become permanent fixtures at the bar. Furthermore, I started the process of installing 3 more taps last night to bring the tap total to 6 at the bar. This project should hopefully be completed this weekend. I am still waiting on a chalkboard to put up behind the bar....I had a few issues with the first one
Be on the lookout for the March Update early next week with all of the details about Irene's Birthday at Dave and Buster's and The St. Patty's Day Party. Check back to this blog as often as you like and please leave comments, the more input the better! With this site, you should be able to check on the goings on at Bashore BrewHaus from the monthly updates, Facebook, and now the blog.
Cheers,
Matt & Irene
