🚨 Collab Release 🚨

Two beer releases in one weekend?! Well…. Sort of! We took a trip up to our friends at Saunders Point Brewing to support the release of our first collaboration, a Double Hazy IPA brewed with New Zealand Paradisi Hops and Citra hops!

If you haven’t been, definitely get these folks on your radar, with 24 taps - there’s an option for every beer drinker. The best part? They’re all amazing!

Censored Prototype is on tap exclusively at their taproom in Gladstone, Michigan. To Jake and Co. thank you for your hospitality and can’t wait to see ya’ll soon 🤔 🍻

🚨 New Beerah 🚨

Resurrection Of The Fat King - Imperial Stout

Several years ago, I was attending Sud’s On The Shore when I was introduced to a gentleman who was opening a brewery in my hometown of Troy. Ecstatic to hear about it, I immediately extended an offer to assist Jef in anyway I could. That initial offer turned into what has now become one of the best friendships I’ve made in this industry.

Through Jef and I’s friendship, I was introduced to several other fellow owners and brewers - namely Copper Hop Brewing and Someday Brewing.

Jef asked each of us if we’d keep the release(s) going for his beloved “Fat King” series, and that’s where we land today. I was tasked with brewing his Imperial Stout version, made with Banana Puree, Peanut Butter, and Chocolate. Admittedly, this beer is way out in left field for us - but we are stoked with how it turned out and more importantly, honored to have been asked to be part of a three beer release spread across the three breweries!

Here’s to Jef and Co. and all of the amazing people I’ve met through our friendship!

🚨 New Beerah 🚨

Kraken’s Fury - Ghost Pepper/Chocolate Imperial Stout

A few weeks ago, we brewed a beer with our friend Chris - a Homebrew recipe of his that we scaled up to our system. The beer was brewed as part of a fundraising effort for Alzheimer’s, and we are thrilled to announce that it has officially hit our taps! Brewed with Ghost Peppers and then aged on Cacao Nibs - it’s got just enough heat to let you know it’s there, but finishes with a chocolate sweetness. Cheers Chris for brewing this one with us and sharing your recipe - keep it up!!!

🚨 Now On Tap 🚨

With all the traveling, collaborating, etc., I swear I’ve been brewing here too!!! As proof, we’ve been getting asked a lot about why we haven’t had fruited beers on tap much of the season - truth is, I think I’ve been brewing IPA’s just about every 5 days 🤐. As the season begins winding down, I do intend on getting back to the basics - more lagers, malt forward ales, etc. We’ll still have IPA’s on tap, but less of a rotation of them - so ya’ll have been warned! 😝. Anywho - back to the beer itself:

Mississippi Floor Juice - Mango/Habanero Wheat

This one is probably my favorite fruited ale we do here, just enough habanero to let you know it’s there, but it’s like biting into a juicy mango. Tons of flavor in an easy drinking Beerah! 🥭 🍻

I may also be tapping the Ghost Pepper/Chocolate Stout - a Homebrew recipe that we scaled up from our new friend Chris - the winner of the Alzheimer’s Fundraising event! Busy day brewing a Triple IPA today, so it’s a maybe today, but a definite tomorrow!

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of brewing with our friends at Saunders Point Brewing, all the way up in the U.P.! I met Jake and Co last year whilst on a leisure trip to the beautiful Upper Peninsula after a friend had recommended his brewery. Upon walking in for the first time, it was one of those moments where everything was just “vibin’” as the cool folks say.

Anywho, fast forward a year and here we are! We brewed up a Double Hazy IPA featuring New Zealand Paradisi Hops and Citra Hops and locally grown malt from our friends at Great Lakes Malting Company! It’ll be on tap in beautiful Gladstone, MI at Saunders Point Brewing in the coming weeks - we’ll be coming back up here for the release, and who knows, maybe an extended vacation 🤷‍♂️

Cheers Jake for hosting me, absolute blast and can’t wait to be back! 🍻

Alzheimers isn’t fun. I’m not one to post about personal things in life, but the reality is my father has Alzheimer’s.
Several weeks ago, I was at Starving Artist Brewing Co and was asked to partner for a fundraising event to raise money for Alzheimer’s through the Lakeshore Pyrate Heads.
Chris, a Homebrewer, coincidentally from my hometown, wound up winning a live auction bid to brew with Andy and myself. What originally was supposed to be a beer brewed at Andy’s quickly became two beers - one brewed at Andy’s and another, here, at Third Life. Small worlds collide every once in while - and that collision quickly became 2 beers.
Today, we brewed at Andy’s, a couple of weeks ago we brewed at my place. What’d we brew? Well, at Third Life, we did a Ghost Pepper stout, dosed with Cacao. It’ll be hitting our taps this weekend - as far as at Starving Artist? That’s his story to tell. End of the day, this whole experience has been such an honor to be part of, coming together with a great organization, a fellow brewer/brewery, and, by absolute chance, a neighbor.

If you’re looking for something to do before then, I’ll personally be down in Ludington at the Buccaneer Bash - held at the Ludington Boat Club! Why?!
