Dragonmead Tour

Danielle is treasurer of the microbiology society at U of M Dearborn, which she is just about to graduate from. For a group activity she set up a tour of Dragonmead Microbrewery, over in Warren, MI. While I’m not a member, I went along and took some pictures.

Dragonmead is one of my favorite breweries in Michigan. It’s a nice, small, non-smoking place which has an absurd variety of beer, all of which they make themselves. In fact, they produce the largest variety of beer for any microbrewery, and have 52 taps and two beer engines. I think there were 40-some taps going when we were there yesterday. They are also starting to offer mead (one style for now, more to come once co-owner Larry Channell’s son graduates from college and starts making some.

All in all, it was a very nice tour, lasting somewhere around three hours. After the tour we (Danielle, Sarah, Bo, and one of their friends and I) ran over to Chicken Shack, grabbed food, then brought it back to eat at the brewery while having a few more beers.
