Flagship Beers

Keep Going Strong

By Ed from Better on Draft

Flagship Beers are what got a brewery started, what kept the doors open, or what are the general go-to standbys of a brewery. Better on Draft Media began celebrating Flagship February in 2019 and created a webpage dedicated to the flagship beers of Michigan breweries.
