Craft Beers Talk at Manchester District Library, January 17th

Calling All Beer Lovers!

Come to the library Saturday, Jan. 17th at 1:00 pm to learn about the rich history of Michigan craft beer. Guest speaker Cowboy Doug Tetmeyer will present this 1 hour program in the Village Room. No registration needed. Sadly there will be no tasting at the event. But lots of learning!

Craft brewing is beer making made on a small scale, where brewers interpret traditional beer making techniques for a modern audience. Craft brewers are relatively small, independently-owned commercial breweries that employ traditional brewing methods and emphasize flavor and quality.

Tetmeyer has served as the craft and import beer manager of O’Sullivan Distributing since 2014. Prior to joining O’Sullivan, he worked for many years on the on-premise retail side of the beer business as a bartender and event host at 51 North Brewing Company, Buffalo Wild Wings, Cranberries Café, and Ashley’s Pub in Ann Arbor.  He is a Cicerone Certified Beer Server, TIPS and Servesafe certified, a BJCP trained Beer Judge and a member of the American Homebrewers Association. Doug holds a Bachelors in English Literature and Language from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

O’Sullivan Distributing has been supporting and supplying the Michigan beverage industry since 1976.
