Michigan Craft Brewing: Bear Butte Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ypsi Gizmo: Dropped by to see if the log needed replaced, and the cache container seemed to be gone again. While this one has lived a long and productive life, I'm going to archive it. Hopefully another geocache will pop up in the vicinity sometime soon. Thanks for the fun!

Geocache Description:


This series celebrates Michigan craft brewing. Hides in this series are located near or on the premises of craft beer locations, but none require entering the establishments to make the find.

Craft brews, sometimes called microbrews, are beers made in smaller batches by independent brewers. The state of Michigan updated its brewing license laws in 1993, launching a burgeoning industry of microbreweries, brewpubs, and suppliers of home brewing enthusiasts. As of 2012, there are over 95 microbreweries and brewpubs in the state of Michigan. Most serve some sort of food and non-alcoholic beverages, and many are family-friendly during daytime hours. Dozens of Michigan home brewing clubs meet regularly to share recipes and techniques. Craft beer festivals and competitions are held across the state throughout the year.

wooden sign This location is the second oldest active brewpub in Ann Arbor, having opened in August 1995 in a space previously occupied by a popular local German restaurant. Developed by a University of Michigan graduate, it is one in a series of Michigan brewpubs and restaurants managed by a company out of Grand Rapids. This particular brewpub hosts regular competitions for local homebrewers. They also have an annual chili cook-off for their mug club members.

NOTES: The geocache is located around the corner from the entrance, yet still in an area with lots of muggles. Make sure to bring your own pen/pencil, as the cache does not contain one. The cache is not meant to be hard to find (at least if you are used to looking for nanos). If your GPS signal bounces around (ours sure did), you may wish to reference the hint. Last, if you are looking in the parking lot, you are on the wrong side of the street.
