Midwest Summer Beer Festival

[ThankYouForNotSmoking]

Hey guys,

On the 27th and 28th of July there is a going to be a 2 day beer festival down the road from Ann Arbor, in Ypsilanti (don't worry - the nice part of Ypsi). There are tickets to buy and whatnot, but it sounds like the type of thing that some folks on this board might be interested in.

Anyone up for it?

Hey Peter, does the ferry from Manitowoc, WI land near Ypsi? I could possibly do that!! I'll check how close that is and check for hotels, etc.

That would be very cool!

Define near

Ypsilanti is next door to Ann Arbor, about 30min West of Detroit proper.
