Four Michigan beers to try this fall

es, black people are part of the beer industry, too. Desiree Cooper delved into this topic in her Detroit Proper column this month. 

“Black folks don’t celebrate suds. There’s hardly a mention of it in R&B or neo-soul – unlike country music, where it’s a staple. We drink beer, but our social lives aren’t built around it,” Cooper says.

If you’re looking to grab pint, here are four seasonal brews that are great to try this Fall.

1. Harvest Ale from Founders Brewing Company 

This wet-hopped ale includes fresh citrus flavors and toasted malt undertones. The brew is a limited release available through the month of October.
