SEASON 6, BONUS EPISODE

On this weekend’s Behind the Mitten Show with Amy Sherman and John Gonzalez -- Gonzo was able to catch up with Danny Ranville of Biere de Mac Brew Works in Mackinaw City. The last time he stopped in (March), the award-winning Fleur de Mac - a Belgian farmhouse ale that was introduced in 2020 as a collaboration with Mackinac State Historic Park - was being brewed.

Unfortunately, a Mackinaw City power outage stopped production of the beer, and their was a lot of anxciety over they would have to dump the beer and start over or whether they would be able to finish the process and put it on tap. 

Danny tells the story about they were able to finish the beer, which turned out just as good as the day Amy and Gonzo selected Fleur de Mas as Beer of the Year.

In fact, Gonzo just tasted it this past weekend (April 22, 2024), and he reports that it is spot on. In fact, Danny was brewing another batch so the beer can be on tap this summer.

Fleur de Mac comes in at 9% ABV and uses a special Belgian yeast, which yields an explosion of aromas on the nose and an extremely long dry finish. It's flawless. Taste it for yourself.
