    Yay Michigan!

    Your list includes the most recent brewery in my town of Ann Arbor, so it’s probably pretty good (for today — I just read an email from a friend who is helping a new brewery open.)

    Hi,

    We aren’t quite open yet, but will be, hopefully by St. Pattys Day!

    Some corrections:
    The link to Arbor Brewing is bad, should be just http://www.arborbrewing.com/
    Bonfire has been closed for years.
    King Brewing is, unfortunately, closed.

    Missing:
    The Corner Brewery http://www.arborbrewing.com/?site=cornerbrewery
    Original Gravity BC http://www.ogbrewing.com/
    Liberty Street BC http://libertystreetbeer.com/
