Description
In 2010, David and Andy were looking down the barrel of economic downsizing in their industry. Looking at it as an opportunity instead of a problem, the two set out to take their basement hobby to a new level. The dream of all home-brewers; to go "legit" and open a commercial brewery, presented itself as a once in a lifetime opportunity. The two agreed upon a Nano Brewery (1 BBL brewhouse). Although they were hopeful it would be well received, they had no idea the amount of interest the locals had for craft beers. Along the way they found and hired on some awesome people to bring the brewery altogether. Blackrocks still brews beer at the original pub on 3rd St, as well as a 20 BBL production system in Marquette. two key ideas fuel Blackrocks on a day to day basis, always make the best beer possible and always have fun while doing it.

On tap at One Eyes Bettye's in a nonic pint. Medium gold with a small white head and some thick lacing. Aroma is pine and light citrus. Initial taste is light and fresh with grapefruit, pine, and caramel malt. Fades to pine, malt, bread. Incredibly smooth, medium body. Nothing too pretentious and really well done!

12 oz can dated 27-May-2025. Apparently despite visiting the brewery a couple weeks ago, I've never had this one that's in all the stores. Anyway, it pours a clear yellow with a white head. Piney citrusy hop aroma. Citrus, piney, floral hop flavors, a touch of pale malt. A really solid one.

On tap at Blackrocks. Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Not much aroma that I can detect, just vague pale malts. Herbal, floral hop flavors with pale malt. It's alright.
