Get on the Bus to Short’s Brewery
Periodically (and quite randomly) we will be offering bus trips up to Short’s Brewery in Bellaire to sample some of the finest beer and local music the region has to offer.
Before coffee was a household beverage, beer was the libation of choice for much of the world. Since then, beer and coffee have gone well together. In a world of corporate controlled, mundane beer offerings, we at Higher Grounds Trading Co. like to believe ourselves to be helping to form a libation nation. We work hard to support artisanal fair trade and organic coffees and locally produced micro-brewed beers and wines that go well together with fine locally produced independent music.
Short’s Brewery in Bellaire, Michigan is to beer what Higher Grounds Trading Co. is to coffee: A valiant attempt at formulating the finest concoction of handcrafted brews in our respected genre.
According to our good friend the Beer and Bean Activist, Chris O’brien,
“Beer has been celebrated since ancient times for its tonic and healthful effects. Civilizations from Sumer to Peru praised special goddesses and gods of beer and fermentation. Coffee has also had its worshippers, such as the Arab Sufi monks who drank it to stay awake for late-night prayers.”
So…. in the spirit of celebration for all things fine in beer, coffee, and music we offer these random bus trips for you to join us for a joyous evening.
