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. Pour a hay, juice-like gold orange with no head. Passionfruit, guava and citrus rind and pith on the nose. More of the same on the palate. Some tart and sweet citrus flavors, more tropical fruit. Tropical fruit skin bitterness on the finish.

12oz can c/o Anndiesel. Pretty solid classical West Coast IPA tendencies. Cool, crisp Simcoe tone, smoothed out by the Mosaic, Citra somewhere in the middle. Has a somewhat oily, resinous tone. OK.

12 ounce bottle from Tadych's Iron Mountain, 7/2/21. Don't know what time it is by but the lights are low. Slightly hazy orange, large foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of grapefruit, pale malt, honey, citrus. Taste is grapefruit, mango, tangerine, pale malt. Juicy, low low low bitterness. Solid. I'm glad that I met it, but it didn't blow my mind.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clear amber color with a small beige head that dissipates. Lovely bready malt nose with light citrus aromas. More of the same on the palate. Not overly sweet. Light, drying finish with a touch of orange.

12 ounce can from Tadych's Marquette, 8/31/20. Hazy orange, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of melon, dank, plum, pale malt. Taste is melon, pine, passionfruit, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy, low bitterness. More like a NEIPA than an American IPA.
