We've decided that in honor of autumn in Michigan, we will be doing a hard cider.
"Now wait," you say, "I'm not paying $10.00 a month for some wussy drink like hard cider. I'm paying for BEER!"
You're right. You're not paying for $10.00 a month for hard cider. This will be done in addition to our normal monthly beer. Once the cider is done we will be selling 6-packs for $6.00 each (limit one). It should be drinkable around Christmas. You may choose whether or not to buy any at that point.
And yes, my apologies to John Irving.
I did like the John Irving reference.
