About This Event
The TC Ale Trail, Create TC and The Little Fleet are happy to announce the THIRD Annual Traverse City Stout Challenge! All sponsored by MI LOCAL HOPS!
The STOUT challenge is a local competition between 11 Traverse City area breweries. Each brewery will produce their “Best STOUT” and submit it for the event. 200 beer lovers will have the opportunity to get tickets and be a judge and choose their favorite brew. All tasting will be blind. Ticket holders will know the description of the beer, ABV, and other facts, but the brewery will remain confidential. At 10pm an awards ceremony will take place. The winning brewery will take home a trophy and the privilege of saying their brewery has “The Best STOUT in the Traverse City area!”
Troy Daily, organizer of the event is excited about the third annual event “The Stout Challenge is a ton of fun and a great way to get the area breweries together during the typically slower winter months. The event has become very popular and I am excited to see what the breweries brew up for this one."
