Craft Beer enthusiasts at the NTA (Updated)

I was just wondering if there are any craft beer enthusiasts from around the country that are planning to make the trip to the NTA This year.

If so what beer will you be bringing and is there any Michigan beer you are trying to get ahold of?

we have a bells brewer in town

Hope you guys have some good ones. Planning on having my bachelor party that weekend.

I might try to bring up some Red Oak beer. It isn't pasteurized, so I'll have to keep it on ice the whole way up there.

I will have a cooler with ice when I get there Wednesday morning.


I will be bringing some good Michigan craft beer, And maybe some homebrew!

I will have some good ones for sure!


You bringing any Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout? They don’t distribute that here

I would love to find somebody from the Stowe, VT area that would be willing to send me some Heady Topper from The Alchemist Brewery.

Should be able to get my hands on it.

If I make the trip, I will bring Budweiser winter blend

If that is the best Wisconsin has to offer then bring it!

Not a beer drinker but I will try to add to Paul's offering from NC.

Paul, I'm not sure if you're familiar with any of the Double Barley Brewing Co beers from Smithfield, but if you are taking them something from NC this should definitely be on the list! Red Oak is a good addition as well!

I can bring some Drekker-Broken rudder (Local to Fargo). Pretty good brew, someone from Wisconsin should bring some New Glarus-Spotted cow..

I’ll be bringing some No Rules by Perrin Brewing. Barrel aged Vietnamese Porter.

I will have a supply of New England IPA’s by Old Nation Brewing. They have made this haze craze very popular.

I will come up with so other good ones.

I can have some at the NTA if you are coming!

h&h steak house is on east end of main street brews there own beer

I will be sure to check them out along with the Bell’s Upper Hand Brewing.

Red oak sounds good.

I have managed to locate a few NC brewed products and I am not even a beer drinker. I will have what I bring iced down and will catch up with you Wednesday when you get set up.

Sounds great! I will have to set a time to do the beer share when everyone can be there.

so where and when is this going to take place? hopefully Friday eve..

Wednesday night is the Groenewold Pizza Party 6:00-8:00 and lots of folks not there yet

Thursday night is the NTA Awards Banquet - 5:00 until......for those that attend

Friday night is the BBQ starting at 6:00 followed by the Auction at 7:30 and usually runs late

Saturday night is the NTA General Meeting and the FBU Raffle and lots of folks will be leaving already.

Thursday will likely impact the fewest number of folks.

I like Thursday if there it worked for others. When are you coming grumly701?

I won't be in Esky until Friday 4ish..

I cant drink like I used too but I can still drink a good beer or two.

I think s will do a share on Thursday and another on Friday so any of you craft beer fans can se what Michigan beer is about.

I’ll just have to figure out where it will take place.

I am planning to Have a share on Thursday and on Friday around 5:30 each day. I will be bringing many samples of Michigan craft beer. IF there are any in the pic that you have been wanting to check off your list let me know.


I will post a positive location for the share on Wednesday but I believe the Thursday share will be at my camp site in the camp ground.



This is a portion of what I will have to sample. If you have something from another state to share that would be great but it not mandatory. I just want to share some of why Michigan is a premier craft beer state.

I picked up a twelve pack of each of these today. Heading thataway tomorrow.

I made it to fairgrounds and have set up camp.

I will have the craft beer share at my campsite at 5:30 Thursday and 5:30 Friday. I have a green and blue canopy tent set up under some evergreen trees. There is a burgundy Silverado and a black utility trailer in my camp site. I am directly north of the vendor entrance gate.

I hope to see you here!

Hey save some of that for Evart!

There will be plenty of beer at the MTPCA show!

I love your directions to your site fur mintor. that would be confusing to just bout anyone id bet but just perfect for people on this site. if i gve my wife outdoorsy directions like that shed never find me... hey you might be onto something. lol.

Hahaha!

The vendor entrance is closed off now but there is a small brown log cabin at that entrance. From the cabin you can see north there the camping area. If you go towards the campsite area the asphalt dive turns to the left. (West). Don’t follow the turn just stay on the part that turns to dirt. The fist set of Porto potties you come to are along the fence. I am across the drive from the potties.

Head to the UP bud!

I'm leaving in about 14 hours.

QBD found me alright.

We can’t make it this time but plan on pulling the camper to Evart. We need to have a couple of you make it. And have fun.....I’m jealous.

I'll see ya all about 5:30ish pm or so, leaving in the morn around 7am central time.

We’ll see you then. Safe travels!
