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.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear, straw yellow with a finger of white foam. Fairly carbonated out the can. Corn and grain aromas dominate. Slightly sweet on the palate with light malt and a very faint bitterness on the finish.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a pitch black with a finger of beige head that lingers. Milk chocolate aromas with malt and coffee notes as it warms. Smooth and silky texture on the palate. Nice chocolate notes throughout. Not acrid or bitter at all. Nice body, very enjoyable and well-made stout.
