Greater Lansing Beer Trail (February 2021)

The Greater Lansing Brewers have launched the 2nd annual Greater Lansing Beer Trail!

The premise of the Beer Trail is simple: visit and purchase beer from all the participating breweries during the month of February and win a prize!

The Beer Trail was launched last year as a Barrel Aged Beer Trail. Exclusive barrel aged beers were created for the month-long event and patrons enjoyed themselves on a boozy tour of excellent breweries in the greater Lansing area.

With COVID-19, MDHHS orders, and uncertainty around what seems like every corner, the celebration has a more open-ended approach. If you’re looking to participate, you have to visit each of the participating breweries and at your first stop pick up an official “Greater Lansing Beer Trail” card.

The card is similar to the image above and includes the rules for the Beer Trail:

“Purchase a full sized draft or any to-go beer from all participating breweries & turn in your completed card by 2/28/21 to any participating brewery and receive a 12 oz mug. Fill out your info and let us know which participating brewery you want to pick up your 12 oz mug. Each brewery’s line must be initialed or stamped and dated by a brewery staff member.”

I think the “rules” allow for flexibility by both the brewery and the patron in terms of comfort levels when it comes to service and where beer is consumed. Regardless, this promotion has people visiting breweries in the greater Lansing area and enjoying solid craft beer!

The breweries participating in the 2021 Greater Lansing Beer Trail are:

• BAD Brewing Company (Mason)
• BrickHaven Brewing Company (Grand Ledge)
• ConfluxCity Brewing Company (Portland)
• Dimes Brewhouse (Dimondale)
• EagleMonk Pub and Brewery (Lansing)
• Lansing Brewing Company (Lansing)
• Looking Glass Brewing Co. (DeWitt)
• Sanctuary Spirits (Grand Ledge)
• Sleepwalker Spirits and Ale (Lansing)

Tackling the Greater Lansing Beer Trail is an excellent opportunity to utilize the brand new Michigan Brewery Map app. Because the Beer Trail challenge only occurs during February, it would also be a stellar idea to celebrate Flagship February and grab a few Flagship Beers from these breweries. As for me, I need to get my ass in gear with this challenge because the month is almost halfway done! See you on the Greater Lansing Beer Trail!

Cheers!
